<p>it can come anytime?</p>
<p>The thread title sounds like like that one drug commercial.</p>
<p>I reached my goal. 2100+
Hard work works guys - i am in disbelief still…good luck to all!</p>
<p>Prepared for approximately one month over the past year. Got a 2130! It’s really nothing by College Confidential standards, but I still feel proud. </p>
<p>For those interested, breakdown was 800 CR, 640 M, 690/11 W/E. Anyone preparing for a few months can certainly get 2200-2300+.</p>
<p>It’s somewhat off topic, but College Board seemed much better prepared in anticipating the sever load and running with it. </p>
<p>Best of luck to everybody!</p>
<p>Wow. Seeing all this success is great. Awesome work, guys. I am taking my first SAT in December. Hope I can get at least 2000… CErnie, since you got 800 on Cr, any essential tips? At best, I stand in the low 600’s on practice tests. :(</p>
<p>But again. Congrats to everyone. You deserve it.</p>
<p>I really want to know your score too! Check it!!!</p>
<p>I am dissapointed that i declined in math, i was honestly expecting an 800, i still beat 2100 though. 2150
CR-710
M-740
W-700
700 or more on all which is good, so my superscored would be 2160 cuz i got 750 on math last time</p>
<p>CR was dang hard this time, so … haha the curve was nice.</p>
<p>Bad news - there’s no fast and hard rules for improving your score in CR. Unlike math and writing, which can be improved with practice, CR stretches the notion of objective testing to a questionable level. </p>
<p>From a personal hypothesis, I credit my score in CR due to my endless leisure reading during middle school. If you’re interested on some history, our school participated in a program called Reading Counts. I always wanted to beat this girl on the number of books she could read, and I eventually did. Nearly ~90 books later, she acknowledged defeat and promptly stopped talking and looking at me. </p>
<p>You’d be better advised asking others, but I’d surmise that continuous reading of non-fiction material (of advanced level) would be excellent practice. Vocabulary is something you eventually pick up from this process; I wouldn’t recommend studying flashcards. I’d also reconsidering CR answers that seem overtly extremist or opinionated in tone or factual basis. </p>
<p>Best of luck in your future endeavors!</p>
<p>I got an 800 in reading twice. I credit it to my having philosophy as a hobby. Stidying philosophy is basically practicing critical reading. You both need to look out what is literally being said, and what is meant. </p>
<p>If you understand Kant, the reading SAT is a breeze.</p>
<p>So Haphazard, any updates?</p>
<p>Hey guys, this is an update. Thank you MedicalBoy for asking me to update this dead thread. I’m incredibly sorry for going AFK after the test. Anyways, I wasn’t satisfied with my results, and I’ve been upset ever since. I was no where near my goal, and actually performed worse than I do on my practice tests. I’m back though. I’m back on track for the December SAT. It’s round 3, and this stupid test is kicking my butt. I’ve received some very special nominations for schools, so I have to do extremely well this sitting (December). This time, my goal is even more ambitious 2200 is the new magic number. You guys still with me?</p>
<p>I took the October SAT’s and did really bad. Barely met the minimum requirement to get into the college that I was looking at. So, I am taking the december SAT and also the december ACT. I have heard ACT questions are straight forward and that’s what I want. I really have no time to prepare for the SAT’s. Work, Culminating projects for English, Chemistry and Math homework everyday leaves me no time in my hand. </p>
<p>Do you think December is too late to take SAT’s ? Most colleges that I am applying has rolling admission policy and one has the due date of November 30 ? Do I have to do rush delivery for the scores after I get them on december 20 or free one is fine ? Because the score I got in october is not even worth taking a look at…</p>
<p>Haphazard, you are not alone! Good luck on your journey. I have not yet taken the SAT but am going to begin Prep (I am a junior) and I am shooting for at least a 2150 my first try. I have the dedication and I am sure you do too. Good luck! </p>
<p>Btw… what is your top college?</p>
<p>Extreme, I’d definitely contact the school that you’re planning to apply to, and ask them whether or not they’ll accept the December SAT. I was considering the ACT, but I really want to score well on the SAT. It’s kind of a personal challenge. </p>
<p>Marshall, I used to think about schools such as Duke and Johns Hopkins, but I realized that they were quite expensive. I think I’ll wait to apply to such schools when I’m applying to Med schools. I kind of want to save the expenses, while attending a great school at the same time. I’m looking at GATech (applied EA) and Emory (Emory Scholar nominated.)</p>
<p>Update: gonna take a nap for a bit guys, then gonna finish some homework. I’ll create another study schedule and post it on here later. I don’t think I’ll get a chance to prep tonight, but the SAT is still on my mind.</p>
<p>Assuming that my academic and extracurricular schedule is the way it is, then here is my schedule for weekdays: M- 1.5 hours M + 1.5 hours CR, T- 1.5 hours W, .5 hours M, .5 hours CR, and this pattern is followed everyday on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays: 1 full test, review, and more practice in all sections. Yeah guys I’ll get started later on tomorrow. I have to go do research at a university for several hours. Also, I have to finish a few college apps. I finished about 55% of my homework.</p>
<p>I’m going insane, I swear. This is all too much to handle. School homework piled with clubs and such is really limiting my time to study. I got a 1910 on the Oct SAT and was really disappointed. Taking it again in Dec. Hopefully will take a practice test tomorrow.</p>
<p>@Haphazard- Where do you find the time to dedicate for this?</p>
<p>Apparently Haphazard’s dictionary doesn’t contain the word “sleep”</p>
<p>Think of all the worthwhile things just half of this time could be spent doing.</p>
