<p>Im a sophomore and am planning on taking the SAT in March
my psat score was around 186 without studying for it (because i was unaware of the date the school was holding the test neways!)
Is there any way I can pull off a 2200 at least, by the next month?
any way?!?!?</p>
<p>It can be done, but it might be tough. Go buy the blue book and start doing problems. </p>
<p>I went from roughly 2100 to 2390 in a span of 10 weeks back in hs.</p>
<p>I really don't get why people on this board study so much for the PSAT. I got a 207 in soph year and a 226 in junior year. I went over a couple math problems the night before. The PSAT and SAT aren't difficult and spending 10 weeks studying for them is insane.
Basically, don't stress out. Your scores was pretty low though, so you might need to do some actual studying. I'd just go over PSAT questions and practice tests. They have some on the college board web site and elsewhere on the ineternet. They're easily found.</p>
<p>Millancad, the SATs are easier for some people than others. </p>
<p>OP: 2200 might be a little too high, but you could probably break 2000. Like origin said, get a blue book and start practicing problems under time limits. With a month left, "studying" won't do you good - just do as many problems as you can. I know, from my own experiences, that after ~8 practice tests it's possible to go from 9wrongs/section to roughly 3wrongs/section.</p>
<p>Adding onto what pbomb said, I recommend careful review of the problems you do. Get the online course. There are some excellent explanations that will help you understand how to do the problems.</p>
<p>The blue book is what I'm using. I only started it yesterday. xD I think you should just figure out what you need the most improvement on. </p>
<p>Like, I know my only CR fault is extremely hard vocab, which I'll be studying everyday. My math just needs review, because it's a lot of Geometry, which I took years ago and haven't reviewed. With Writing, I just need to review the major rules, which ironically, we happen to be going over in English class because of the SOL test coming up right before the SAT.</p>
<p>Know your strengths, recognize your weaknesses, and then work to correct them. =3</p>
<p>does blue book give answer explanations?</p>
<p>Not for every single question. There are periodic sample questions in the sections that are thoroughly explained, and they help you get a grasp on how to approach the problems. =3 But there aren't explanations for the all the questions on the practice tests.</p>
<p>thanks a lot guys for all ur help!!! i think i shud go get the blue book n dig deep into it right now! pronto!!!</p>
