my june sat results SHOCKED me?!

<p>i got 1590
math 580
CR 420 (huh?)
Writing 580 (essay : 8)
I'm shocked because I practiced most of the year,solved like 10 practice tests and the lowest score was 1700 ! now I'm just so depressed,I'll take it again in october,but the question is,can I raise this to 1900 or 1800 in just 3 months?! and I'm worried ,what if I take it in june and I get like 1700 or 1600 then I'll have to take it for the 3rd time " which is bad for u"</p>

<p>get the blue book and do tons of practice! For CR improvement just do a lot of additional reading (column’s in NYT and The Economist) and try practice with xiggi’s tips (search for cc posts). For Writing use the spark notes guide to writing (can also help with math too) and memorize those rules</p>

<p>Relax good grades and a rigorous schedule can cause colleges to overlook below average test scores.
You said you studied a lot. Did you feel confident after the test? If so, you may have:
skipped a question and didn’t actually skip it, consequently getting many wrong.
Did you guess a LOT? If you narrow down a question to 2 choices, and guess, you are in the right. However, random chance is always there and you could have gotten screwed over.
dont worry tho crush that thing in october</p>

<p>I’m a little upset with my scores too, so you’re not alone (and we did get the same writing and essay score). </p>

<p>Like ShakeMeDown said, go in and destroy the test in October. You’ve still got more chances.</p>

<p>I almost can’t believe my scores because they’re completely flipped. My CR is highest, when I thought it’d be lowest, and my math is lowest, when I thought it’d be highest. Guess I can’t gauge myself.</p>

<p>yep i went in on may 4 saying :hey this is gonna be easy im not studying i mean it is an aptitude test":
590CR-580M-590W
8 essay
yeah many are there with you. i did way worse than i thought and now im in a pickle:
retake the SAT in october OR retake the SAT ii’s.</p>

<p>so I do have a chance? I was worried like what if I was studying wrong? I just did like 10 practice tests and read the explanations o.O</p>

<p>yeah of course you have a chance. Some people are also naturally not great test takers. colleges know that too. just keep your grades up broski</p>

<p>I was shocked too,my score REDUCED.</p>

<p>I got the same exact score with the same the same sub scores for each. Is that possible?</p>
