Jumped from 2150 to 2310 in one test

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Okay, so basically, I have been studying fairly diligently for the SAT over the summer. I have been wondering and asking around CC when others sort of "break through" the 2250 barrier and start scoring above that. I have never scored above a 2200 before today, and then I took a QAS and scored a 2310. Im taking another tomorrow to assess the consistency, but should I put any wait into this score. I mean, it couldnt have been a fluke right?
haha</p>

<p>lol, i should learn how to spell first… “weight” not wait</p>

<p>Take a few more tests over the next couple of weeks and see if your scores stay above 2300. Anyways, the fact that you can score over 2300 shows that you definitely have the ability to get 2300+ on a real SAT.</p>

<p>How to jump from 1700 to 2000?</p>

5

<p>What is QAS??</p>

6

<p>QAS=Question and Answer Service.
(previously administrated tests)</p>

<p>it could be legit dude. i studied all summer and had a very similar jump.</p>

<p>I know this is off topic but…if someone already did a QAS test (officially) and they repeated, can they order another QAS for the new test? I am not seeing this. I am only given access to purchase the SAS. Is this QAS a one time privilege?</p>

9

<p>^No it is not only a one time privilege. Only certain test dates will allow you to purchase the QAS, those being: October, January and May.</p>

<p>I signed up for the October SAT but I am only getting the opportunity to purchase the SAS. Why then?</p>

<p>It’s difficult to gauge. Performance anxiety/test day adrenaline could give you an actual SAT score that is completely inconsistent with your practice test scores.</p>

<p>@PioneerJones: Right on. A lot of students fail to cope with their nerves on test day and their brains go into second gear. It depends on the student, really. A lot of students do better and are more focused with the added adrenaline and pressure, but some (like me) practically get nervous breakdowns waiting for the 1st section to begin :)</p>

<p>Anyways, the best thing would be to do more practice tests and gain consistency. More practice gives you a better grasp of problem-solving methods and time saving techniques that could be instrumental on test day. If you get, let’s say, all 2300+ scores on, let’s say, 8 CB tests, you can walk into the test center without irrationally worrying that your 2310 was illegitimate or lucky. Basically, doing more practice tests builds confidence and hones testing skills.</p>
