<p>...to go from a 1900-2000 to a 2200+ on the SAT if i study for 10 months? I started last month and I've been learning math problems and 20 vocabulary words a day on top of doing a practice test every week. If I keep this up until I take the test in the spring, do you think I will be able to score above 2200? (My scores on each section are 600-700 at the moment)</p>
<p>I got a 190 the first psat I took, 210 the second time. Then I took the SAT and got a 2310. Do practice tests! It’s possible, good luck :)</p>
<p>Oh definitely. Just be careful of not pushing yourself. Too much preparation can be a overkill and throw you off task. Since you have so much time (God I wish I had 10 months) I suggest you take sections of tests and a full-length practice exam every Saturday. Like I work on Math on Monday and Tuesday. CR on Wednesday and Thursday. W on Friday. Practice exam on Saturday. The reason I devote only a day to W is because my writing score is above the others so I’m prioritizing my needs.</p>
<p>it’s very possible. I went from a 1980 (590 CR 770 M 620 W 10 essay) on the January SAT to a 2240 (680 CR 760 M 800 W 12 essay) on the March SAT with only 3 weeks of prep in between. I’m planning on scoring even higher on October by learning a ton of vocab (that’s what brought my CR down so much). All it takes is a mindset to practice a lot no matter what. Good luck! I hope you have as much success as I did!</p>
<p>Yes, it’s possible for sure. I see it all the time. Takes time and work, though. Make a plan and stick to it!</p>
<p>Yes, but I went about it in a different way.</p>
<p>From March to June I bumped my score from 2040 (690 CR, 650 M, 700 W, 9 essay) to a 2270 (760 CR, 740 M, 770 W, 8 essay). And you want to know how I did that? I did absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>My parents kept nagging me to do some prep work, but I was honestly just lazy and didn’t feel like it. But the reason my score was so much higher the second time was actually because I didn’t care. My 2040 was already high enough to get into the school that I was looking at at that time, and so I thought to myself, “Well, if I bomb the June SAT, it won’t matter because all of the schools to which I am applying super-score.” That is probably a horrible attitude to have, but it made me feel much less nervous. Unlike the first time I took the SATs, I actually was relaxed enough to sleep the night before and to eat breakfast. I read my favourite book during the breaks. And hey, it worked.</p>
<p>It’s up to you how much you want to study, but above all else I recommend not being nervous and thinking to yourself how all of the questions are so easy. Mindset can make a huge difference.</p>
<p>(Further evidence - my PSAT scores were really derpy because I didn’t sleep for days before the test and I went in quite nervous… The scores were actually about 300-400 points lower than my final SAT score.)</p>
<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
