<p>fresh, look at you man. You jumped 800 points…so if I were you I wouldn’t be talking my friend. .</p>

<p>My jump was very reasonable seeeing as how i jumped 800 pts from 8th to 11th. In 8th i didn’t take Alg. II or Geometry, harming my math score. I also didn’t know high level vocabulary and i never learned any writing rules but had to naively sound out the writing choices. I guess the better question would have been if swaggerrer had jumped 780 from middle school to high school.
Honestly, i didn’t mean any harm by my initial statement.</p>

<p>Well let’s add this question into play. How did you prep after taking it the first time? I got a 2150 first time but I hope to raise it. Do most people just buy a blue book and just start taking practice tests in a timed session?</p>

<p>I started preparing in August before my senior year (I took it last March and underperformed). I have increased my score 300-350 points which is hefty considering that this improvement started above the 2000-level.</p>
