<p>just wondering if anyone had a pretty nice jump in SAT scores from their 1st to 2nd test
will colleges see this as really goodd?</p>
<p>I got 720V,740M, 740 W and recently received statistical data from College Board breaking down my performance. Among the info provided were these interesting statistics. For people who got my numbers most who took the exam again got lower scores on both math and science. The percentages for those who got my numbers improving on test two were greater for doing worse not better. Please remember the statistics were for 720/740/740.</p>
<p>math and science?</p>
<p>sorry, I meant math and verbal. They did not evaluate writing.</p>
<p>danashu, one of the things I learned in a tests and measurements course is that as people are re-tested on the same material, their scores tend to get closer to the median. So those who start out below average tend to improve and those who start out way above average, like you, tend to decline. No idea why that should be, but there it is. (And congrats on the scores). </p>
<p>fragl0192, D saw a nice improvement from the first time she took the SAT to the second. Elsewhere, Bylerly linked to some faculty minutes from the school D. got into (Stanford) where the new dean of admissions mentioned that they look at the pattern of the applicants' scores across test dates; so I guess from that they do like seeing students work to improve.</p>
<p>Yes, a jump in scores is good.</p>
<p>It all comes down to how many braincells are alive and kicking and how hungover you still are from the night before</p>
<p>has anyone ever improved like 500 points? like 1700- 2200??</p>
<p>I did:
PSAT = 156
SAT I (April 2006) = 2120</p>
<p>More than 500 points...</p>
<p>sweet! i wish i could do that =/</p>
<p>i gota a 170 PSAT... but a 1840 SAT (please dont count my writing, cause a 1290 looks oh-so much better...) i hope colleges dont start counting the Writing next year... sigh...</p>
