<p>If I hadn't discovered CC, I would've probably been content with a 1960. After just a few minutes on this website however, a 1960 doesn't look so appealing! So, after 2 months of hard work, dedication and discipline, here I stand with a 2290. I owe CC my new score because I would've never retaken if I hadn't read all the success stories here. </p>
<p>So thank you CC, for giving me motivation to not settle for less!</p>
<p>Amazing! Congrats I feel the same way, the overachievement in CC is great enough to motivate anyone. Did you just take practice tests and review your answers? I’m hoping for a similar increase.</p>
<p>That’s a phenomenal improvement.Your thread actually gave me some motivation and hope.I am trying to get a 300-400 point improvement too.Could you mention which threads helped you the most and strategies which you used?
Congrats again.Go celebrate :)</p>
<p>I got the same scores in CR and writing in my recent test.I hope to improve them to 700+ :)</p>
<p>Please share how! I’m bawling over my less than the average SAT score.
Everyone’s SAT scores that I have seen here are around the 2000s and then there’s mine…1430.
Very low, and I’m planning to take it two more times. That was my first time taking it and it’s very disappointing.</p>
<p>Any specific motivational threads? Or essential advice? I know it’s all practice from BB tests, going over concepts… etc, but what are you supposed to study? Like for you, during those 2 months, did you study more grammar for writing? Read more for CR? Went over geometry for Math?..</p>
<p>I memorized the words from both the DH volumes cold (~450 words) and spaced out 10 practice tests throughout the 2 months. Nothing else to it, really, I just learned from my mistakes, in CR especially.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh and the sticky at the top of this forum has all the links you need.</p>
