How much did YOU improve?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>The SATs are a little over two weeks away now. (Yikes!)</p>

<p>Where were you at (GTFO, it's OK to use "at" here!!) when you started, and where are you now? How'd you get there? Did you read Dickens or the NY Times? Barron's 2400 or Princeton Review (obvious ;) )? </p>

<p>For me, I was scoring about 1950 when I started two months ago. I'm fluctuating between 2250-2350 right now. I'm strongest at Math, then WR MCQs, then CR, and finally essays. Improved vocabulary by combination of flashcards, CR practice, Barron's vocab lists.</p>

<p>For the essay, I read Great Expectations and the Scarlet Letter (for examples).</p>

<p>So what about you guys?</p>

<p>-_- lol you're getting 2300s and yikes sat should be the least you should be worried about right now lol. I, on the other hand, need quite a bit more improvement. Sophomore psat = 150~, 1st sat = 1810, practice tests now = 1950s (1850s-2050s). But I really need to maintain a solid 2000 mark before the next sat T.T.</p>

<p>*ps I read Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat. Contains a lot of sat vocabs</p>

<p>1800 (M 640 W 580 R 580) to 2200~2230 (M 800 W 730~740 R 670~690), now aiming for at least 2270 (M 800 W 750 R 720).</p>

4

<p>Well, to be honest, I only got 2300s in ONE practice test. :D </p>

<p>2200s in all others.</p>

5

<p>^Are you using QAS?</p>

6

<p>1960 with no studying in Dec 07. My last two practice tests (QAS) I got 2200 and 2250. I think I can peak at 2350 (800M, 800W, 750CR).</p>

7

<p>No, I don't have any QAS. :(</p>

<p>I'm using Barron's and CB. Get about 50 points higher in CB than Barron's.</p>

<p>I went from an 1850 in may to a 1940 in june... not much an improvement but I only had a month in between. I'm definately hoping for a 2050 plus in october.</p>

11

<p>i got a 1490 on a practice exam on march. this is the first one im going to take so im hoping for at least a 1800+ (i havent done so much studying but im getting to it. thank god for a break from now till the SAT date haha)</p>

12

<p>I improved from an 1150 to scoring regular 2400s on my QAS</p>
