<p>I meant SAT habit, don’t know why that’s censured</p>
<p>I, personally, don’t like SAT habit.</p>
<p>I did no SAT prep today. I was very occupied with Calc, bio, and physics. Tomorrow, I plan to fit in some SAT after school. I think I should do SAT prep right when I get home, as I’ve tended to push SAT prep after finishing homework, which has led to no SAT prep.</p>

<p>First of all, I love this thread. I am a rising senior, but last year I used to notice that pushing SAT Prep till after homework used to result in no SAT Prep. Sound familiar? LOL.</p>
<p>Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>im just focusing on math right now…doing lots of kaplan (side note: is that effective) while also doing BB tests and some dr. chung’s.</p>
<p>i have the same problem as you. once im done with hw im so tired i skip sat. bad habit.</p>
<p>School starts soon for me, but I hope I will still be able to have enough energy to study SAT after hw. I plan on doing a full practice test today to see how my improvement is going.</p>
<p>@chilly I do not know about kaplan and math or other sections. If your resources are teaching you the concepts of math that you dont understand for the SAT, then I am sure they will help. After you learn the concepts, doing well on the math is just a matter of not making stupid mistakes.</p>
<p>I finished my practice test and am happy that I got the highest score I have ever received on a practice test. Although my CR was a bit lower than I wanted, my writing score was higher than expected:</p>
<p>Math: 790
CR: 730
Writing: 800 (assuming i got 10 on essay which is what i got on the real SAT)</p>
<p>Bllb6, congrats! That’s really impressive. How did you raise your Math and CR score? I’m still scoring a 630ish for CR and a 600 for math.</p>
<p>Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been around lately. A lot of stuff for other classes came up all at once last weekend. </p>
<p>I haven’t been making much progress- I tried some math the other day and gave up. I started working on CR yesterday but had to leave. I’ll try and do it today so I can write that guide thing I mentioned (assuming I do well haha).</p>
<p>Be back in a few hours!</p>
<p>For math, I had learned the concepts that gave me trouble (permutations, venn diagrams, etc.) and had a pretty good foundation in geometry/algebra. After practicing a bunch, i was able to bring my 65 math PSAT score up to where it is.</p>
<p>CR has been a long and slightly slow improvement. I have gone from 56 to 64 to 720 to where I am now by focusing on the questions I get wrong. In addition, ive studied a bit of vocab to try to minimize the chance of getting a sentence completion wrong (i still got one wrong this time though). Although I do think reading more in general helps, i think practicing the passages is just as, if not more, important. CR at times can flucutate a lot so you have to be ready for all types of passages.</p>
<p>Do you think a significant CR boost is possible within a month? same with Math. If I were to increase both to 680+, then I’d think I’d be able to break 2100 easily. Writing is usually always 750-800 for me.</p>
<p>Love this thread!!!
I guess we are all in the same boat! i got an 1820 my firs shot do you i can bring up my score in a month to atleat a 2100?
Also do you guys think it is silly if i take my Sats again in December considering i am taking sat ii’s in November?</p>
<p>Anything is possible. Albeit I cannot prove if one can improve so much in such little time, I must say that we are human. We are not statistics; so one’s hard could, indeed, break a statistical threshold.</p>
<p>Also, I want to go over my last practice test errors and read direct hits and more of the geometry primer, but I have to finish this work. I’m nearly finished with calculus, but I have a lot to do for virtual class. A majority of the work is long and tedious, but I mustn’t risk a B in a class. I wish that there was more time in the day!</p>
<p>i highly suggest waking up at 5 and doing your sat work it has been provent o work for a few of my friends who have done well on their sats! and is it wierd that i am taking my sats in december or can i take both sat ii and sat on teh same day?</p>
<p>You can’t take both SAT II (subject tests) and SAT I in the same day. You can only take up to three subject tests in a day. Or, take only the SAT I on a test date.</p>
<p>Ok, just did all the CR in one of my practice tests so I could get a current projected score. I got a 700. Not bad, but I’m really aiming for a 750+. I’m kicking myself because I skipped a question where my guess would have been right… Then again, one of the ones I guessed on I got completely wrong.</p>
<p>Considering I got 650 a few months ago it’s still an improvement!</p>
<p>I’ll definitely keep working and maybe try to reason through my guesses a little more (one of the sections I had 7 minutes left over but I just restarted the clock for the next section because I wanted to make sure I got to all of them. Definitely going to see if in the future spending a lot of time rechecking them improves my score.)</p>
<p>Everyone seems to be improving, which is great. I, on the other hand, seem to be going no where. I’ll post again today if I get to SAT prep. If I’m stumped with homework, then I guess it’s another day wasted.</p>
<p>Hey goodluck to you Portalicious and Haphazard! I’ve been in the same situation as you two. My score was 1700’s , but after hard work during the summer I’ve been able to hit 700+ in each section and past my goal of 2100. I am also aiming for 2300+ as well! Don’t give up you two</p>
<p>@jaefosho, over the 2-3 months of summer you improved your score from 1700 to +2100? Would love some advice from you! I’m going into my junior year so I’d really appreciate any advice you could give</p>
