How can someone not study and get a 1800?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So...I'm in 7th grade and my friend's in 8th grade. He got an 1800. I got a 1480. How does he not study and get a 1800? Is he just naturally smart? PS I want kid answers. Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s possible…I know high schoolers that score in the 2200-2300 range without studying.</p>

<p>Wow it just doesn’t make sense. Oh well, I guess I’ll just work 5 times harder.</p>

<p>I was in 7th grade and I had gotten a 1770. Really, I wouldn’t worry too much. Your important years are 10/11. Just make sure you study in advance and study for ALL parts of the test (not just the one or two you like). Remember, you (probably) still haven’t learned all the skills required for the test. They will come eventually. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, I wish I got that without studying. I barely push 2000, but I’ve prepped a lot for it. Plus, you still have a good four years to boost your score, so don’t worry about it now. You’ll do fine. :)</p>

<p>Some people are just naturally sharp and already know the math, writing, reading strategies to do well. My first practice test was around 1900, but I got that up to a 2070.</p>

<p>I got 1800 on my 1st 7th grade SAT. It isn’t really that big of a deal.</p>

8

<p>I didn’t study at all, and scored a 2310 in November of my Junior year. It was supposed to just be my “practice” SAT, but I’m now starting my senior year and don’t plan on taking it again.</p>

<p>What is you doin’ taking it in 7th grade. But a 1480 is better than half the seniors at my high school <em>cry</em></p>

10

<p>I got exactly 1800 when I took it for the first time. I didn’t do any prep whatsoever. Now, after just doing a few practice tests, I’m in the 2000-2100 range. A lot of it just comes down to natural mental ability and IQ.</p>

<p>A 1480 is very good for an 8th grader. There are juniors who don’t get that. Don’t be upset</p>

12

<p>A 1480’s not too bad for an 7th grader (however it is a fairly weak/average score for juniors). After some more experience with high school level, you will improve. Don’t fret about it right now…you have four or five more years.</p>
