I am going to be a junior next year and I really, really want a perfect score or at least a score in the high 1500s (not counting the optional essay) but on the PSAT I took last year I received a 1310. I have taken three practice tests and received scores of 1410, 1350, and 1370. I am planning on taking the official SAT for the first time in November. I will be taking AP Calculus and AP English Language and Composition as a junior as well. Does anyone have any advice for how I can get my score to perfect or near perfect? I would really appreciate it, thanks, in advance, to anyone who replies!
Khan Academy’s SAT prep is very helpful (and free). If you’re getting in/around the 1400s on your practice tests, you have plenty of time to raise your score to the 1500s by the end of junior year. Practicing your algebra, geometry, and trig skills will also help you in AP calc so take full advantage of everything Khan Academy has to offer. If you don’t like your score on the November SAT, try the ACT. If you do better on the ACT or find that it was easier for you than the SAT, you could always retake the ACT if you would like to improve your score. You have plenty of time to sort everything out.
