June 6 2009 SAT I Thread

<p>present(March test):
Math - 790
Critical Reading - 590
Writing- 700
Total - 2080</p>

<p>Future (June test) goal:
Math - 800
Critical Reading - 700
Writing- 780
Total - 2280 (this is probably high enough for HYPM ???)</p>

<p>October test goal:</p>

<p>Math - 800
Critical Reading - 750
Writing - 800
Total- 2350</p>

<p>If I could do this in October, then in November I’ll take
Physics (retake) and raise it from a 750 (January test) to a 800
and Korean with Listening - aiming for an 800</p>

<p>If I manage to pull this off then I’m pretty much set and ready for college lol</p>

<p>590 -> 790 LMAO</p>

<p>Critical reading is very difficult to improve in. It is not like math where you memorize the concepts.</p>

<p>You need to know complicated syntax choices.</p>

<p>when do the May scores come out ?</p>

<p>May comes out of Thursday.</p>

<p>And I want to bring my 550 CR up to a 600. Which I think is a bit more reasonable than a 590->790. Holy crap. haha</p>

<p>Yeah, CR is hard to improve in, you have to have a hugeeee vocabulary for the sentence completions which is the hardest part for me.
In Math you just need practice, in Writing you just need to know a working writing format and the grammar rules, both a lot easier to learn than vocab lists :(</p>

<p>The hardest part of the critical reading section is where you’re presented with a sentence and part of it is underlined and you have to pick which BEST fits it.</p>

<p>It’s not enough to be right. You have to be the “most” right.</p>

<p>I can see how it would drive math nerds crazy. Luckily I am an English person though :smiley: But the math part does slaughter me. It takes me way too long to finish the questions even if I know how to do them.</p>

<p>I’m looking for a 2200+, but a 2100 wouldn’t be a disappointment, which I know I can get.</p>

<p>My math scores are what bring me down. In my prep class in school, my Math scores would be absurdly low in relation to my other scores (low-mid 600’s, compared to mid 700s for writing and CR).</p>

<p>I truly think I can score well on CR, as I consistently get in the 720+ range, and with writing, I think with a few brushups over concepts, I can pull it around my CR score.</p>

<p>As for math, I’ve bought the Gruber book and am about to start to go over the concepts. Hopefully I can bring my score up since I’ve been told that math is the easiest to bring up.</p>

<p>Ugh what exactly am I supposed to do to improve my critical reading… I got 4 questions wrong on the december SAT and got a 740. I don’t think I can get <4 wrong…</p>

<p>Are you complaining about a 740? Are you real?</p>

<p>If I got a 740 CR I would be crazy happy… 1540 would be pretty good :p</p>

<p>yeah im retaking in june too. i took the jan test and got:
640 math
740 reading
710 writing
hoping to pull my reading and writing up to 800 and math up to 700+. the weird thing is that i love math.</p>

<p>^ For critical reading I suggest reading the passages first then answering the questions. I look back as needed. yeah and vocab prep helps a bunch too. i used direct hits and the barrons flash cards.</p>

<p>Math was pretty hard in January.I only got 610 even though I am a straight A math student…On practice tests I score at the range of 710-740 .I will be really glad to improve to 760 in June (I ve heard that June math tests are not that hard ;[ )
I scored 600 on CR in Jan but after memorizing the notorious Barrons 3500 list ,I managed to improve to high 600s ,even mid 700s ; I will love to see a 700 in June :slight_smile:
WR is almost perfect now : 740-780 (I scored 630 in Jan but it is easy to improve after doing lots of practice questions. The idioms can hurt me ,though</p>

<p>So guys,did u prepare for the big day :)What are your expectations ,hopes :slight_smile:
I still have 7 tests to do from the BB and some vocabulary to review :wink:
I am hoping for a :
M 740-780 (800 If I am lucky enough)
WR 800
CR 700-720</p>

<p>Unfortunately ,the difference between 740 M and 800 M is only 3 errors (4 at best)</p>

<p>I play basketball, i just need 50 points for my SAT I am not on the level as most of yall but help me improve CR please</p>

<p>Only if u promise us you will make it to (W)NBA :)</p>

<p>I have like 4 or 5 more CB tests to do and then 9 more Sparknotes.</p>

<p>Goals - CR600, M700, W650.</p>

<p>CR is … somewhat realistic. I got “into” an article yesterday and nailed 22/24 questions in the section. Which is soo much better than I’ve been doing. I usually suck because I can’t get into them.</p>

<p>CR questions are easy to answer as long as you understand the passage.If it is about a person telling his/her story ,the passage is easy.
I hate passages involving many person,different names,different points of view .</p>

<p>Oh, definitely. After I finish up this organic chem sheet, I’ll probably tackle a full CR portion of a test. Just to see where I stand.</p>

<p>I will take June 6 SAT, too.
Goals:
M 800 (I’ll try to be more careful than I did in Maths IC)
CR 650
W >600</p>

<p>My goals areeee
M 800
CR 700+
Writing 700</p>
