<p>okay so i posted a thread inquiring about the study habits of those of you who received top scores on the SAT. now please answer this question honestly, if you don't mind.</p>
<p>had you chosen not to study for the SAT, what score do you think would you have gotten?</p>
<p>i am a curious cat here</p>
<p>I honestly didn’t study but I’ve always done very well on standardized tests. I got a 2360 and took the SAT one time.</p>
<p>I’m going to take it for the first time May 1st. No studying, I would probably get a hair north of 2000, maybe touch 2100 if I was lucky. With the studying I’m doing now, I’m shooting for near-perfect (2300+), and it’s not unreasonable for me either I don’t believe.</p>
<p>2300+ but I’ve always been a pretty decent standardized test taker.</p>
<p>hard to even compare to the last 3 posters, but I’ll proceed anyway.
My first tests were really low. I just didn’t know how to take the test. I was scoring 1700’s.
I’m taking it this Saturday, and I’m hoping to hit 2100. Tutoring and studying really makes the difference.</p>
<p>I didn’t practice, so I got a pretty bad writing score (570), but my CR and math is not bad considering I’m an int’l.</p>
<p>The overall score of mine is 2060 (690+800+570), though I definitely want to rise my score, I didn’t bother to take another time.</p>
<p>My 2240 is no studying.</p>
<p>Math has been naturally 800.
Writing multiple choice is ridiculously easy for me. 760
Critical Reading I had problems with. If I spent hours practicing that and memorizing vocab lists my score increase would probably be trivial and it would not be worth the time I would be taking away from SAT Subject Test and AP exam studying.</p>
<p>I have not taken the SAT’s yet, but I will be very soon. I think the one thing to study is how to write/format the essay. Otherwise, i think it is all about making sure you are always adding to your vocabulary. This will help the most…</p>
<p>ugh yeah i hate the reading section. such obscure words…</p>
<p>Would probably have scored anywhere from 2150 to 2200.</p>
<p>My score (March) was 2330.</p>
<p>I’d probably have scored 2200-2300. I don’t feel that studying really helped me personally that much, except maybe cut down 1-2 silly errors I tended to make.</p>
<p>I did the SAT twice. First time no prep was a 2240, and the second time I did a practice test once to familiarize myself and I got a 2390. So I’m not quite sure what that says about the test itself…</p>
