<p>I got a 2040: CR: 770, W: 710, M: 560. I am retaking in October.
I would love to get a 2200. But is this unrealistic? If so, what do you think is a realistic "goal" score? </p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if you got a
800 CR
800 W (I improved 150 pts)
700 M (Easiest to improve on)</p>
<p>optimistically of course :p</p>
<p>VERY optimistically 
but that would be amazing…</p>
<p>do you have any recommendations for a math book to use to improve my score?</p>
<p>I honestly have no idea… sorry… I’ve always had a thing for math. i’ve taken two SAT’s and the PSAT and all together I’ve only missed one :p</p>
<p>Did you study for your first testing? If you didn’t, I think you could aim for 2250 or even 2300 (difficult, but can’t hurt to try). If you did study, it’s going to be harder to make further improvements.</p>
<p>If that was your first attempt, it’s very possible. My first was 2080, I’m now sitting at 2360 superscored.</p>
<p>Math is by far the easiest section to improve upon with good review. You could reach 750+ if you practice enough. Get the Collegeboard Blue Book. They have 8 practice tests in the back. The book doesn’t explain the answers to these tests but you can find explanations for all the math problems at [Khan</a> Academy](<a href=“Khan Academy”>Khan Academy)</p>
<p>Get Gruber’s for math. You could get a 2400 is you study enough, imo</p>
<p>thanks guys!
yes, i did study for the SAT the first time I took it, and that was the only time I’ve taken it so far.</p>
<p>honestly, its very do-able.</p>
<p>ive seen people go up by A LOT more than 160 points. From random variation alone (a.k.a. if you don’t study any more at all) could realistically account for about a third to almost half of those 160.</p>
<p>How much do you think I can realistically improve my score by October/December?</p>
<p>M: 740
W: 640 (although I was scoring 700s in practice tests)
CR: 620
Total: 2000</p>
<p>Mainly practicing CR and W this summer as all of my Math mistakes were just silly mistakes.</p>
