<p>I started preparing late March and am taking the SAT on saturday.
Note: My scores are from practice tests and real SATs that I managed to get a hold of. But, I did take them in the allotted time, followed the “rules” etc. I was pretty meticulous about it.</p>
<p>March 26th- First practice test (from the college board website): **1680 **[I graded myself an eight on the essay, just to be safe] Breakdown: 640 CR, 520 M, 520 R</p>
<p>Yesterday’s practice test (an actual test from '06): 2040-2130 [2040 for an 8 essay, 2130 for a 12] Breakdown: 710 CR, 670 M, 660-740 W (again, depending on essay 8-12)</p>
<p>So about a 400 point increase in a little over a month.</p>
