<p>I need morale boosting! No advice needed, just inspirational stories. Please also state the number of times you've taken the test. :)</p>
<p>Large section improvements also welcome.</p>
<p>Got a 600 on January. Got a 690 in May. Hopefully 750 + this time. Essays are now better (using MLKJR TR, TTG, LOTF, TGW, Invisble Man, Roaring 20's - wwII in every essay possible).</p>
<p>Hmm.. Taking it a second time.... uhh..... uhhhh </p>
<p>good luck?</p>
<p>SAT improvement
April M 550 CR 500 W 500
June M 640 CR 650 W 590
No studying just took it more seriously</p>
<p>October 2005 - 209 PSAT
June 2006 - 2050 SAT
October 2006 - 2310 SAT (Practice Test)</p>
<p>first practice test I took in the summer: 1800-1930
last practice test I took in the summer: 2240-2400</p>
<p>Good job.</p>
<p>June 2006 SAT
520 CR 670 M 530 W = 1720</p>
<p>Practice Tests afterward:
M+40 W+220 CR+90
710M 750W 610CR = 2070
+350(So this would be a flag on a real SAT)</p>
<p>I know someone who went from 2020 to 2280, but I don't know what his exact score breakdown were. I know he had 800 M the 2nd time around.</p>
<p>2150-2390.</p>
<p>1870-2090.</p>
<p>PSAT: 168
October SAT: i dont know if i should say 2100s, 2200s, or 2300s. we will seee.</p>
<p>1570-2270 in 6 months.</p>
<p>All these huge score jumps perfectly show how the SAT only tests how well you take the SAT.</p>
<p>but nonetheless, SAT prep helps in other aspects of life as well: Critical Reading/Trivia knowledge, Grammar, Math proficency, and self-confidence among others.</p>
<p>O.O can people explain how they got their gigantic score jumps?</p>
<p>they took a lot of practice tests</p>
<p>i know it sux and no one wants to do it, but sadly it is the only way to improve</p>
<p>yeah, i took a lot of practice tests.
10 from PR's 11 practice tests for the SAT
all 8 BB tests
6 from barron's how to prepare for the SAT.
finished word smart 1&2 and about 3000 of barron's 3500 list.</p>
<p>but i still dont think im ready for the october sat <em>sigh</em>. october is my first sat. i want 2300+!!!
so im going to do:
sat online course (practice quizzes and 6-7 tests)
learn new words
barron's math prep books
satmathpro.com</p>
<p>should take about 3 weeks...</p>
<p>This thread really shows why the SAT is a bunch of ****.</p>
<p>Intelligence does have an effect on how you perform on the SAT. Everyone is capable of getting a 2400 with sufficient practice, but smarter people would need to put less effort to attain that goal.</p>
<p>My SAT II Math IIc went from 590 to 660. One try after the first.</p>
