<p>I got a 2310. I went in expecting anywhere from 2100 to 2400. I guarantee if i would take it again, I would probably score lower. It's pretty much a crapshoot for me, just keep doing practice tests.</p>
<p>just do REALLLY well on one section.. GOOD in another section and average in 3rd section. For me thats Math, Writing, CR respectivly
So suppose i preped like hell and got 800m, 750w, 650v then I gots 2200. From there it shouldnt be too hard pulling your CR up</p>
<p>My best scores combined are over 2200, and I actually got a 1500 the first time I ever took a test (unless you count 7th grade...). I did no practice tests, and I bought a book only to see what the format of the new test would be. I did the Princeton Review software in 6th grade (my parents are crazy), but flat-out refused to take a class or do any more of that stuff, and I doubt that I retained any of the 6th grade prep. The SAT is really not about how smart you are; it's about how well you test. Practicing will help, but if you're a naturally good test taker, even if you're not a genius, you won't need to prep. Then again, I've known geniuses who scored terrible because they can't test to save their lives...</p>
<p>And taking advanced math classes might actually screw you over. I took calc junior year (the same year I took the SAT), and I did significatly worse in the March administration that in the October one, since you use little to no precalc (aka, all the hard parts of the SAT) in calculus. In addition, the new SAT is much more focused on knowing the specific terms/ways to solve problems and less focused on the general over-arching concepts of all math. So...I'd reccomend taking the SAT and SATII math after a year of precalc, not waiting until after calc like I did.</p>
<p>Those of you who have scored high, 2200 and above, how many did you leave blank? I have always felt the need to complete all questions but I was sorely disappointed when I got a 2000 back with no questions skipped. Should I just study harder, or skip things I have touble with?</p>
<p>i got a 2210.
i skipped one question i think</p>
<p>2280--skipped 1 math question (damnit).</p>
<p>2260--skipped 3 verbal and 2 math I think</p>
<p>Son got 2230; didn't skip any Qs.
They say if you can eliminate several answers, you MAY be better off answering than skipping.</p>
