<p>i wish to reach a goal of 2300 so badly guys.
back in november/october i got a 158 on my PSAT. since then i have worked really hard and landed an 1860. however i realize that i still haven't put my best effort in. I wish to study 'efficiently' with your help, cc community.</p>
<p>anyways my break down was 650/630/580 with an essay score of 8. (M/CR/W respetivvvvvvly)</p>
<p>alright guys what can i do to improve my score by the JUNE sat?</p>
<p>i am willing to spend a crapload of time</p>
<p>Time studying doesn’t make up for the natural gift needed to get over a 2300.</p>
<p>the only reason why i have set such a high goal is cause my gpa is **** this year(dropped .5 points from a 3.5 to 3.0 and i am hoping my SAT can make up for it.</p>
<p>What did you do to get yourself better prepared for the SAT after you took the PSAT ?</p>
<p>2300-nope
But you can get 2000+ if you study hard.
Short plan:
*memorize vocabulary
*work on your grammar
*practice–>review</p>
<p>getting a 2300 is defeintly possible bro.
my family friend who now goes to NYU went from a 1740 to a 2320 by hardwork. i would get in contact with him but he is to busy studying for his MCATs</p>
<p>It’s def possible but that kind of jump is really hard to pull off, but then again it is possible.</p>
<h1>1 Buy the CB Blue Book and do a test a week or a test every two weeks under timed conditions, and then go over your mistakes and try to understand why you made a certain mistake.</h1>
<h1>2 Buy the Direct Hits vocab book, the absolute best vocab book imo.</h1>
<p>A combination of the two things listed above should be enough to help you at least increase your score.</p>
<p>work your @$$ off, plain and simple.</p>
<p>I got an 1840 on my first test and eventually brought it up to a 2270. It’s definitely possible, it just takes practice.</p>
<p>164-2050 without much work at all. Now I am actually working and consistently scoring 2150+ on practice tests. Hoping for a 2100+ in May.</p>
<p>ight once aps and subject tests are over i am cramming for SATs. gonna work my ass off till i reach my goal</p>
<p>there’s not a reason in the world why you can’t raise your score that increment. xon’t listen to mirage. my students come to me with worse scores and get better…and i only see them an hour a week, so they are doing massive work on their own.</p>
<p>there are some tips and tricks about standardized testing and the patterns of the SAT, but i won’t go into them here.</p>
<p>if you don’t have a good vocabulary or strong reading skills, it’s difficult to raise the cr score, so read everyday…things like the nytimes, textbooks, vanity fair, the new yorker, and then have a kitchen table talk with someone…summarize, giving the main idea, any devices used, etc.</p>
<p>you got good advice about taking a test every week (at least one) and determining yourself why your answer was incorrect. </p>
<p>know your strategy…which questions will you skip?</p>
<p>have a plan for your essay. my kids consistently get 10’s and 12’s because they have a template for the essay.</p>
<p>good luck, you can do it. don’t let people tell you that you can’t. learning how to take the sat is a skill that can be learned…it’s not a natural gift. it’s less about reading, writing and math than it is about understanding the traps, the tricks and the patterns that the sat uses.</p>
<p>thanks for the ‘moral’ boost. ima work really hard.</p>
<p>Chicken its possible, nothing is limited. The more you do, the more you learn. Practice practice the right way and the change will come gradually.</p>
<p>planning on sleeping atm and waking up around 8 am. gonna eat breakfast and then work on SATs till 12-ish from where i have to go to school to help out for this charity event being hosted. ima comeback around 1 and review ap stuff and start again with SAT stuff around 7 ish.
thats my goal for 2mrw:P</p>
<p>Good luck with that!
I’m also on that battle field. On January I got 1950 (hah! My aunt was born that year!) so now I’m headed to those 23xx. I’ve been told that to think it’s impossible is unthinkable in such a situation.
So, let’s not think!</p>
<p>take the test like a boss</p>
<p>reviewd some today and ima take that practice test when i comeback from school.</p>
<p>^^best advice in this thread so far. cheaa
Anyways, I’m in the same boat, but I’m starting from a 1910 (March SAT). I’m thinking about retaking it in June. woohoo -___-. I think we can do it! (I’m not crazy - when I say “we”, I mean me, you, maskerade, and ‘urbody’ else on this boat :D. We should start a support group. lulz)</p>
<p>yea im with you guys. i actually got lower than all of you (1730…yikes) but yea im gonna try to make time to study for at least an hour every day until the june sat. i just want a 2000+. I hope we all can get there!</p>
