<p>are you guys kidding? i know people personally who scored in the 17 and 1800s, did some prep work later, and ended up scoring 2000+ on their SAT's the second time around. It takes discipline and strategy.. one of my friends got an 1850 the first time, did some prep work, and ended up with a 2150 final score.. so yeah.. I think he took a course or looked through a book or something.</p>
