<p>Got 1540 on my sat.I honestly dont know how because before that on all practice tests that i took i would get around 1700-1800.Im very upset and ****ed right now.Next time i plan to take it-will be may 2nd.Tell me honestly please do you think that it is possible to improve from 1540 to 1950(or at least any score in 1900)?Im honestly upset right now but i also dont expect only positive comments....your opinions please</p>
<p>Hi. I don't want to give you extra hopes, but trust me, till may you can improve up to 2100-2200 if you work correctly. Use skill insight tool, get blue book and kaplan preparation book and try to understand the tactics. I am not saying this to simply encourage you, I am pretty sure you will be able to do it. And do not forget 'ritual' - every saturday do a timed practice test. Hope this helps, cheers :)</p>
<p>I'm sorry. :( I really didn't do as well as I wanted to. (1680) I think that it really hurt that I forgot my calculator. </p>
<p>I'm going to use some prep books and retake in January. I'm a sophomore so it's not a death blow, but I need a 2000 to beat the magnet school average I'm applying to. :(</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>maybe anybody else can give me an an advice or books that i can use.2nd time i plan to take it may 2nd so i basically have almost exactly 6 months to study.Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Use blue book (collegeboard), Kaplan, and Barrons. You will be in a good shape. Are you a junior?</p>
<p>you shouldnt need to use the calculator at all on the math section</p>
<p>^ He does. Calculator helps to solve problems faster in some cases, and if you don't need it - you can always put it away, but having one doesn't hurt you.</p>
<p>"every saturday do a timed practice test"</p>
<p>does this really help a lot??</p>
<p>Yes im a junior right now.</p>
<p>Elvy, it does because it develops a habit of making your brain work early in the morning, it's especially good for those who struggle to think in early hours of the day (i.e. me) when the test is administered.</p>
<p>Future, then you should take it at least once before May, too.</p>
