how do you define high? I’ve been stuck in the 1400s @Pisaller
I got a 1440 on my practice test. Math seems much easier to improve than reading and writing. Is there any good places to go for improving your reading and writing skills?
I’ve taken 3 of the tests and compared to the old test I’ve been doing much better. On two I received just about 1500 and the third was in the 1400s.
When you guys are taking practice tests, are you all practicing with or without the essay. I feel that the new sat anaylsis essay is going to be more difficult to master than the old one.

Without. I’m suspecting colleges place little value on the essay with this new format.
Many colleges have commented on their websites that they will not require the new sat essay portion.
Hi! So I’m taking the new SAT next week and I’m scoring around a 1350. I got a 1290 on the PSAT. Since this is the new SAT, there aren’t really any scores considered good or bad (like most people say above 2000 is usually a good score). I was wondering If any of you had an idea. I looked up a conversion chart and a 1400 is a 2100. That is my goal for now but I am worried that the scores for the new SAT will alter and will raise the bar for a good score. Also, do you guys have any tips for last minute studying? I have been studying for about 2 months, but it wasn’s very serious or as often as about 2 weeks ago. Since the date is a week away I’m starting to get much more serious.
I’m taking the SAT (with essay if it matters) next week with no significant prep. I scored 1400 on one Khan Academy practice test. I took the old SAT once and scored around 1970. I’m aiming for what would have been 2200+, so about 1500 with the new one I guess. Is it doable?
@CharlotteLetter Yes, it is very doable with enough content and skill practice.
@Joboko Amusingly, I’ve learnt calculus and I still struggle with the math 
Hopefully I can pull up English as well.
Hmm, I didn’t know I was avoiding an experimental section by writing the essay 
What do you guys plan to do for the last week of preparation? I plan to take as many practice tests as I can, but school might be a problem. I don’t seem to have trouble with timing but reading passages and focusing too much on one problem have sometimes wasted time for me. Any Suggestions?
I plan to take one practice test Friday night…
(Midterms are in the way of my SAT prep)
I’ve worked through all four practice tests. This last week I plan on revisiting the questions I got wrong and looking at sample essay prompts.
ugh i feel so dumb compared to you guys. I’m a sophomore taking the sat for the first time next week and so far, judging by the practice tests, I’m only getting 1340-1360’s. Any suggestions? My trouble spot is definetly math, specifically geometry, with all that radian and arc length stuff. And i always run out of time on the no calculator 25 min part -.-
Hey, don’t feel bad, I find myself rederiving the radian and arc length formulas… How are you doing on whatever the current non-math part is called? I’m at 630 
@CharlotteLetter The highest i’ve gotten on the reading/writing part has been a 690, but hopefully 700+ on the actual test. I find that it really helps to go over the comma, semi colon and colon rules for me. And do you mind writing the radian formula. I’m not exactly sure the formula I have is right :-< I found it online haha since I can’t find my geometry notes anywhere.
@CharlotteLetter I would not recommend taking a practice test the day before the test. It might stress you out, especially if the test goes bad.
