International students, lets discuss any study methods and preparation tips we have here.

This is for everyone willing to take the final old SAT I test (with essay) on January 23, 2016 and does not live in the USA.

What are you guys doing to prepare?

uh

so, what are you guys doing on a daily basis as prep for the SAT?

we got like 70+ days so we can still pick ourselves up from the dust or be even better than we already were.

this is great, don’t let this opportunity slide. seriously.

we have plenty of time, and this doesn’t mean “oh good, I have 3 months so I’ll just start next week or something.”

this means we start NOW. and reap the benefits when scores come out :wink:

let’s do this. class of 2017 anyone?

Hi! I’m class of 2017 :slight_smile: and I aim for 2250+

My current superscore from June and October is 2110, and I hope for a superscore of 2170 using the SAT of November.
What I’m doing daily now is one section of critical reading + its analysis (at least that, because reading drags my score down too much! M 740 W 770 CR 600)
For math I just try to look for problems at which I’m weak. That’s it really.

4

Basically aiming for high 2100’s and low 2200’s for this one, and maybe thinking of increasing my superscore. I got pretty irritated that the last two months were recycled tests so this one might be too?

5

It definitely is.

6

This exam will be recycled and I’m 100% sure of that. Hoping for 2100

7

Taking my second SAT on January! I’m planning on studying only during Christmas break.

8

Are the LAC’s accepting the SAT 2 January 2016?

@ZainSD Are the LAC’s accepting the SAT 2 January 2016?

It depends - all schools do it differently. You must check on a school-by-school basis.

I just learned I scored 2040 (650 CR 710 M 680W) in the December session

11

I just got my december scores and I am definitely retaking it on January…
Got CR 640, math 630 and writing 610
I noticed that Others got 800 in math and CR . How do you do it??
I wanna apply to an ivy league university and I realllly want score around 2200…pleease help

12

@senjiruven I’m in exactly the same situation --’ I usually score around 2100-2300 on my full-length practice tests…
Anyone else class of 2017?

13

I guess i’m class of 2016 since I’ve already applied and sent my other scores…But I have to do really well in the January SAT since it’s my last chance

14

Does anyone have any feedback on the college board online SAT course?..I just subscribed today

15

It was so sad, I mean so many people got 700+ in each section and i ended up with 1880. HOW do you manage to do only 2-3 mistakes in an entire section ^:)^ . PLease veryone share their prepping methods…

16

Online course anyone?

17

I guess i’ll be joining you guys. Just saw my Dec subject test scores, but I’m gonna retake because my october SAT was low. (2000. 590 CR. 680 M. 730 W. 7 Essay)

18

Hello folks! Looks like we’re all in the same boat. I’m class of 2018. I’ve taken the SAT once before–got a 2190. Hope to break into the 2300 range. I don’t really like the pattern of the new SAT (read: 50 minute essay) so I have to make this last one count. 8->

19

@senjiruven practice practice practice… I know it sounds a bit oversaid but after 94238947 practice tests the real thing will even seem a bit boring because it will seem like you have already done everything… And you have to understand EACH error you make during a practice test, leave nothing to chance! BC if you don’t you will make the same mistake over and over again…

20

tbh i got 1970 and all I want is above a 2000. like 2040, 2030 etc.

should I even study? I made 2 errors on paragraph improvement and i never make errors on that - so i’m sure next time i’ll get it all right on writing.

should I even prepare hahaha?
