<p>I got a 1540 (780M)(-1) on the old SAT as a sophomore with no prep, what should I do to improve it to a 2400.</p>
<p>Nothing. You don't need a 2400, and you'll probably get in the 2300's with one or two test takes.</p>
<p>If you want a perfect, there's little you can do in way of test prep books and classes - you're above those. The most you can do is study vocabulary (the hardest part of the SAT), and take a few practice tests in the sections that are difficult for you (CR, apparently - the hardest section).</p>
<p>I got a 2230 in March (790M, 740 CR). To prep for June, I just did like 3 CR sections. I told myself i'd study vocab...didn't - and that def hurt me on the test - fricken Amalgams. Anyways.</p>
<p>What are Amalgams?</p>
<p>Assortments</p>
<p>And spartan, dont feel bad. The one vocab word that got me was...eccentric. I feel like a moron.</p>
<p>Well, good luck, Mathfun. Math is fun.</p>
<p>In a funny side story, at target, they sell these shirts that say in big white letters "Math is Hard." A bunch of people bought them and walked into calc BC wearing shirts that say "Math is Hard," when it clearly isn't to any of us. It was the funniest most ironic thing ever.</p>
<p>Hard math is hard.</p>
<p>i second that foolonthehill</p>
<p>I third that; Not only does math become extremely complex (right around multivariable calculus), but it also becomes utterly useless. All the advanced theoretical algebra crap becomes stupid after a certain point</p>
<p>That's why I wonder the age old question: "How am I going to use this later in life (if I'm not going to be an engineer, cashier, etc.)?"</p>
