<p>How many tests did it take you, both practice and actual, to achieve your desired score?</p>
<p>I'm really nervous about my scores because I have a 2060 and want at least a 2200. I have until November and I'm wondering how often i should take SAT practice tests. Don't worry, i've been studying prior to this thread.</p>
<p>^_^ Thanks</p>
<p>I've taken over 20 practice tests.
I've taken 1 real SAT, fell short of my goal by 110 points o_o
taking my second on Oct 4</p>
<p>Way too many, man. It took over my life for quite a while.</p>
<p>Our S never took any prep tests. 2010 on the SAT and 34 on the ACT.</p>
<p>Good for him. DLKNOWHOW isn't your son, and not taking prep obviously isn't a option. I say take enough to be familiar with the overall structure of the test. Know the concepts, and you'll do fine.</p>
<p>The point is there is no magic number. I think sometimes the kids are over-prepped and over-stressed. My posting was very snarky..my apologies.</p>
<p>I'd recommend taking one every 2-4 weeks. I think once a week is too often, but some people disagree.</p>
