<p>well practice tests aren't the same as real tests!</p>
<p>191/1980</p>
<p>i feel stupid</p>
<p>it was a full length test issued by the college board and it SAID it was just like a real test...i did better in reading in the real one than in the practice</p>
<p>uh well, people can say anything they want!
i never got close to the score i got on the real test in a practice one</p>
<p>sorry...it was the one in the sat packet that college counslers give to students from the SAT ppl. But...
-in prep books (barrons, princeton review, etc.) i hear those tests tend to be harder in order to prepare you for it
-maybe the practice test you or I took was particularly easy/hard for you/me because of luck-of-the draw vocab questions, etc.
- did you correctly time your practice test? (i dont mean for this to make you sound stupid, i am just wondering)</p>
<p>231/2150</p>
<p>why the drop? i didn't stay up before the SATs.</p>
<p>although, i just retook it, and almost pulled an all nighter. by all logic i should be getting a perfect score.</p>
<p>Err....huh? You get better scores without sleep?</p>
<p>That's the first time I've ever heard that.</p>
<p>220/2390</p>
<p>m: 800
cr: 800
w: 790</p>
<p>never once did I get an 800 on any section in the practice tests I took, (out of the blue collegeboard real sats) but bam test day! maybe it was my lucky underwear.</p>
<p>also, in my case, I slept twice as much as I usually do on schooldays... (4-5 hours on schooldays, went to sleep at 9 pm the night before the sats so that I could concentrate on those ridiculously boring cr passages.)</p>
<p>220/2180</p>
<p>SAT II:
Math 800
Physics 800
Chemistry 750</p>

<p>Yeah, I dropped a lot too from a 238. If my June score (I only got 4 hours of sleep AND took it as standby...talk about being unlucky) turns out to be significantly better, I don't know what to say.</p>
<p>don't mean to disgust anyone out here (so skip it if you are likely to be so), but</p>
<p>dude, i had ****ing diarrhea on my sat day, no kidding (and no immodium ad either)</p>
<p>213/2180</p>
<p>PSAT: 68 CR, 72 M, 73 W
SAT: 690 CR, 790 M, 700 W</p>
<p>I dunno why I dropped in writing. My writing score on the 20-80 scale was a 64, so that's a huge drop, it was my 12 essay that bumped up my score. And the math increase makes no sense either. It's not like I just took algebra 2 or something, I took that in 9th grade, and calculus (which is what I just finished taking as a junior) has nothing to do with the SAT, though I did end up trying to solve a few with calculus, because I couldn't remember the easy ways to do stuff at first.</p>
<p>1910 -> 198 -> 1840</p>
<p>1910: 700 CR, 650 W, 560 M
198: 71 CR, 68 W, 59 M
1840: 670 CR, 610 W, 560 M</p>
<p>i even came home 1 in the morning before my Oct SAT
why did it drop?!?! waahh....</p>
<p>This thread is so depressing... Getting scores you aren't happy with sucks, but in this thread, there are people who aren't happy PLUS they know (and can prove) that they can do better... bummer!</p>
<p>sophomore psat 192
junior psat 206
junior sat 2040</p>
<p>209/1990 ehh.........</p>
<p>183 -> 1910</p>
<p>so, 80 pts +</p>
<p>if I do that again, I can get a 1990. But going up 80 or anything higher is going to be difficult. If I want over a 2100, I need to go up 200 points.</p>
<p>177 --> 1780... yea, 10+</p>
<p>212 --> 2190</p>
<p>If I only didnt miss 2 problems in math, I would have been a nat'l merit finalist......grr</p>
<p>199 ----> 2140</p>
<p>i didnt study for the psat at all, and that was way back when i just couldnt do reading comp.... eh</p>
