<p>Am i the only one on college confidential that has like an average SAT score? I got like 1660 on the SAT (CR 430 + M 670 + W 560). This is really really low compare to other asians. I feel ashamed. lol. Imagine, the colleges i apply to will all reject me. If anyone has similiar SATs, let me know so i don't feel alone. lol</p>
<p>Your math is much higher than mine! I got CR 620 M 580 W 610. That was my first time taking it, as a junior, and I will retake it in November. I suggest taking it again, and maybe study! 1660 I believe is still above average. I think average is like 1500.</p>
<p>I wish i can improve my CR in less than a few months before i retake it… I’m like very distracted when i study lol… I’m not sure how can someone improve on CR when it requires active reading many times.</p>
<p>You should be fine for most state colleges. For selective universities such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, you have epsilon chance.</p>
<p>However, CR and W can easily be improved by knowing the tricks around those sections (however, vocab can be a pain). M is easy to improve by reviewing common formulas such as Pythagorean theorem, the “special” right triangles, etc.</p>
<p>What year are you? If you took this your sophomore year: 1. I envy you I wish I took it early and 2. Pretty good for a sophomore year. If you took it your junior year, it really isn’t the end of the world yet. If you have a chance of retaking it, do it obviously. You have to put in effort and study however. It’s all about the effort you put in! Good Luck!</p>
<p>@rspence- is there a compiled list of tricks? and do they work every time?</p>
<p>@rspence: tricks on the CR? Omg, let me know some. i could really use the help. And yeah actually i’m aiming for state colleges but i’m still scared they will not take me because my CR is still pretty low.
@ninchendo: i’m not a sophomore. Haha.</p>
<p>Tricks including, knowing answers that are too “strong” (e.g. by using the words “always” or “never”) are usually incorrect, knowing that half-true answers are incorrect.</p>
<p>when you say half true… does that include choices that contain “sometimes”?</p>
<p>if there’s a choice that says something like " this thing is more whatever than the other thing" would that be mostly incorrect?</p>
<p>@lilmelonred not “sometimes,” but answer choices that could be true but aren’t supported by the passage.</p>
<p>oh okay. thanks. (:. I think my real problem is focus or absorbing the info that it’s telling me.</p>
<p>Did you take the SAT in your sophomore year?</p>
