<p>I got a 1720 in April, and I at least want a 2000 in Oct, so I can have a chance at Ivy league schools. My EC's and GPA are fine.. it's just the standardized tests I am worried about.</p>
<p>I plan on using sparknotes SAT test prep, and the blue book throughout the summer. Studying everyday for at least two hours.</p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>of course it is possible.</p>
<p>if u study REALLY hard this summer, a 2200+ is possible..........</p>
<p>Yeah, it's very possible. Like Mountain Dew said, if you study REALLY hard and set your mind to it, you can score a lot higher than a 2000.</p>
<p>Studyworks is very good to do this.</p>
<p>Should I sign up for this?</p>
<p>$150 isn't thaaattt much... but still, will it help at all?</p>
<p>yea u can....my friend went from a 1550 to a 1880 so you can do it</p>
<p>I think you can do it. I went up from a 1700 to an 1890 without studying. I just did two practice tests the two days before and I also took 2 ap tests the two days before, so I had already had like 3 hour testing for two straight days. I went up from a 500 on CR to 540, 600 on W to 630, and from a 600 to a 720 on M. I took a lot of advanced courses this year and I especially loved math.</p>
<p>everythins's possible. impossible is nothing!
allllllllllllllot of studying should do the trick
good luck :)</p>
<p>wait, instead of buying the course for $150, isn't it better to buy the STUDYWORKS ANSWER KEY TO THE COLLEGE BOARD'S "OFFICIAL SAT STUDY GUIDE" for $39.95?

<p>280 point increase is totally doable. We regularly have student go up 350+ points. FYI, the solutions to the REAL SAT's are also available as part of the College Board's online test -</p>
<p>$150= 20 visits to a chinese buffet
$150= Ipod</p>
<p>its a lot of money...but computerized tests are kinda convenient. I dont think its worth it though.</p>
<p>but if $150=good score on SAT=more chances at a better college=more $$$ in future > $150</p>
<p>it's all about if it helps or not</p>
<p>i think there are cheaper ways to go about it though.</p>
<p>I bought the testmasters solution guide, If I recall correctly it was definitely cheaper than $39. (and for all you california residents, have a relative or a friend buy it and ship it to you)</p>
<p>is it possible to order testmasters solutions to collegeboard book, without being a resident of california or having relatives in california. Is it possible to order the book from new york?</p>
<p>Yes. I had somebody order it for me from another state, then they shipped it to me separately.</p>
