<p>I got my PSAT score back today. I got a super horrible score which is 166 (about 1660 in SAT)</p>
<p>M:60
W:55
R:51</p>
<p>I know it's super horrible( I am an international student).</p>
<p>I am a junior right now and want to aim for 2100 on real SAT. Is it possible for my level ? How should I study ?</p>
<p>I have been trying to study the Barron's by doing 10 sentence completion and 10 math questions everyday plus a page of word in the 1000 common SAT words from Barron's. How is my strategy ? How should I change it ?</p>
<p>You might want to consider the valuable pieces of advice of various "2400 scorers" in this forum. That's the only recommendation I can come up with, given that you are a junior.</p>
<p>It's possible...I got like 180 something freshmen and sophomore year on the PSAT, but in my junior year, mine jumped up to 226, qualifying me for National Merit. </p>
<p>My advice? Ditch Barron's now, buy a Princeton Review book, memorize everything they tell you (like seriously, read the book, don't just do practice, read the book). You score will probably increase exponentially....my initial SAT (first time practice test) was 1960, but after PR, on the real SAT (first time real SAT) I got 2120. </p>
<p>Which sucks compared to the smart ppl here on CC, but if you're only aiming for 2100 and above, PR will do.</p>
<p>Thanks. I have an old PR, does it work ? You mean memorize the strategy ? How should I study everyday about vocab and stuffs ???</p>
<p>Yeah, 2100 will be my aim for at least score, I will stop taking SAT if I get a 2150 at least, if more than that like a 2200, nothing can be better. I don't think I can get more than a 2200.</p>
<p>Definitely memorize the strategies, because they WORK. I mean, some of the stuff is obvious, but otherwise, most of the strategies are great at figuring out the SAT, seriously. </p>
<p>Vocab, they have a vocab list in the PR book that you should study. With that list, and the roots they give you, you should do good on vocab too, because even if you have no idea what a word means when you take the actual test, you'll get the gist of it because PR separated all the words by sections. </p>
<p>How old is your PR?</p>
<p>And...you can always try. With PR, I think you can seriously get 2200+, but you really have to study, not only the day before like me.</p>
<p>2006 version should be fine for studying. If you're really worried, you can buy the 2009 version, it's only like $20.</p>
<p>The way to study is to first read the PR book, and memorize the strategies. PR includes drills in the reading too, so you have chance to practice the strategies. Then, after you have the strategies down, take the included 2 free practice tests in the book, using the strategies, because you should know which strategies to use on the actual test.</p>
<p>Then, if you still need more practice, buy the Collegeboard book of tests (the blue book). Use the PR strategies there too. Basically, be very familiar with the PR strategies, and you'll do good. </p>
<p>But it is a lot of work to practice so much, so you'll have to stay committed.</p>
