Is this suppose to be happening?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>During the summer, I spent quite a bit of time studying for the SAT and achieved a range between 2370-2400 (errors would waver between 0-3). It has been close to two months since I did any SAT work and I just took a practice PSAT today to kind of familiarize myself with the format before Wednesday. I scored a 2250. It seems to me that my score deteriorated over the two month period because of SAT inactivity (except SAT WOTD :) ). </p>

<p>Has this every happened to any of you and what were the final results (the score go back up, stayed stagnant, kept decreasing, etc)? Also is it feasible for me to achieve my old score range? If so, with a lot of or a little amount work (relative to my studying of 4+ hours a day on the SAT during the summer)?</p>

<p>Yep that’s completely normal. Two months is a long time.</p>

<p>No, get back to the kitchen</p>

<p>^lol</p>

<p>Yea, happened to me. I took like a couple weeks to review concepts, etc. and my practice test scores went down to low 2200s. Then after a week of tests it went back to 2330 and 2340 right before the Oct. SAT.</p>

<p>I’m sure you’ll go back up.</p>

5

<p>Yes, that’s normal. But I think you should really get started on studying if you want to bring it back up to the 2370-2400 range by Wednesday.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the answers guys.</p>

<p>Anybody else want to chime in?</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore, so I really don’t gain anything from this testing. I’m probably taking the SAT in January, so there is plenty of time during winter break. :)</p>

<p>If you’re a sophomore you’re gonna get 240 PSAT by next yr. and a 2400 SAT I. LOL</p>

<p>So, who cares? Just chill lol, you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Like 3-4 practice tests and you’ll get back to mid-2300s easily.</p>

8

<p>I think you’ll definitely be fine. You’d already be a National Merit Semifinalist in every state, as a sophomore, so you should be fine as a junior.</p>

9

<p>My actual test scores didn’t vary much from January to March and I didn’t study in between the two.</p>

10

<p>my scores increased when I didn’t study</p>

<p>As a sophomore getting in the 2200+, you shouldn’t worry too much unless the SAT’s change when you are a junior/senior, which is improbable. You should actually be proud that you are preparing early for such an important test.</p>
