<p>Hi everyone. I am taking SAT in November and i am frightened. Well, yesterday I took a mini SAT test and it predicted my score 2300. Today I took a full length test and got 1800:((((I sincerely do not know how to feel and what to think. Well, yes, today I have been really distracted at home, but still, the difference is HUGE and I need at least 2100 till November. Now I am craming the Baron``s SAT 2400 but do you think it is real to get a 700 on each section during the actual test? And, even if I get my score in the 1800ss, will I still stand ANY chance for Dartmouth Early Decision? I am going really mad, Two weeks is nothing to raise my score from 1800s to 2100, is it? :((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Thank you</p>
<p>How small was this “mini” SAT test? The disparity between your scores doesn’t make much sense…I would suggest taking another full length SAT. Make sure you focus.</p>
<p>I was wondering if you could make your own thread in the proper forum section.</p>
<p>OP, calm down and try taking another full length test after some mental rest. It could also be the length of the mini test that caused it to give you an inaccurate prediction. Just be mentally focused and confident when you take another practice test. By the way, were those two the only ones you’ve taken? If not, what did you get on previous practice tests/real tests?</p>
<p>Based on your grammar, I’m more inclined to think that the latter score is more accurate. However, I agree with the others in that you need to take a full length BB test to assess your current situation.</p>

<p>it is not like I am offended, dear…, but what was SO wrong with my grammar, when I was writing in panic and did not care whether it is the correct grammar or not, I am not trying to justify myself or anything. Though my writing score is always the highest, by the way:(</p>
<p>I am an international(from Armenia), so we had NO prep at all for SAT at school. I usually score around 2000. And, does someone think it is possible to raise , well, let us say a score of 1900, to 2100 till November 7? please advise…</p>
<p>There is no cramming for the SAT. Keep doing practice tests every day until the test day, you’ll feel like you know the test front and back, and then just go in kick that test’s butt.</p>
<p>It’s all about practice. Practice practice practice.</p>
<p>Make sure you’re practicing the blue book though, nothing else. Not even Barron’s.</p>
<p>Oh, thanks a LOT, I am so much grateful to all of you. In Armenia, where people do not even know what a SAT is, I really have no one to ask all these questions, thanks for help:-]</p>
<p>I will try my best! But I do like the Barrons. I think, no, I am sure my biggest problem is my inability to focus. I usually do well at the beginning, but later I just bomb the test:/</p>
<p>I love it when Bigb14 does his/her “thing”. hahaahha. Cruelty is just hilarious! </p>

I don’t understand why you think your score dropped from 2300 to 1800s. Both the 2300 and the 1800 were not indicators of your potential score since the 1800 was not on a genuine test and 2300 was not only not on a genuine test but also on a “mini” test. Always take only official CB tests as your predicted test-day performance.</p>
<p>If you’re getting 2000s now, you of course have a good chance of getting 2100 on the test. If you haven’t done this already, try doing official practice tests found on CB website which will give exact scores without ranges so that you can see whether you’ll get that 2100.</p>
<p>Call me misguided, but I believe that grammar, yes, even on internet forums, is reflective of the person in general. The OP stated that he was speaking out of panic. I can see that. But also keep in mind that there’s no place for panicking on the SAT. If the SAT throws you a curveball (which it will, I guarantee it) panicking is not an option. Likewise, he would have gotten many more helpful responses had he been more calm in his post and had given us more information (we don’t even know if the 2300 test and the 1800 test are of the same quality). </p>
<p>And also, the question of “can I improve my score by x amount” is also slightly misguided. Either way, you’re going to study as hard as you can to improve as much as you can. So what’s the point of debating over hypotheticals? Just study as much as you can, and then know that you’ve done all you can going into test day: no regrets. </p>
<p>Just because I asked does not mean I do not study or anything like that, I do not know where you made that inference from. I asked because this test is so new to me, no one arund me studies for it, so…
I usually do not pay much attention to grammar when I am on forums or on Facebook. I do not care if some people will think I am not educated enough. </p>
