My Progress Thread - We Will Triumph

<p>Thanks medical boy and 233</p>

<p>Took a real sat today did much better then i normally do. I don’t know if it’s because kaplan tests are illogical or because the real test I took was 7 years old. I got a 700 in cr i think i would have done better if i didn’t bomb one passage. I got a 740 writing assuming I got a 10 essay all my errors were in sentence improvement so i need to work on that. I got only one wrong in math so that’s a 790. I am very happen with the 2230 since I never broke 2200 before. Very good day I’m very happy</p>

<p>I took Jan 2006’s SAT today. All timed.
780 on CR (yay, first over 750 CR) 800 on Math, 650 on writing. </p>

<p>Still need some work on writing.</p>

<p>@Jeff, maybe we should do some review together? I think we did the same test.</p>

<p>Just finished a practice test. Fairly confident but there were a few problems that tripped me up. </p>

<p>I’ll grade and post results after some lunch. I’m starrrrving. :)</p>

<p>Benjamn we should work together It would help us both push oursleves I pmmed you a link did you do that test</p>

<p>Benjamin what grade are you in? How do you do CR so effectively</p>

<p>Woahhhhh.</p>

<p>Math: 800
Writing: 800
Reading: 700 (5 wrong 1 omit)</p>

<p>So unexpected but I can’t get overconfident. There were some math problems that were tough and I just got lucky. Writing was really easy so I can’t expect that score on test day lol. And reading, there is still room for improvement.</p>

<p>Overall, I’m getting better but I can’t depend on luck. I have to consistently get this score to do well on the real SAT. My goal is to get three/four 2250+ out of the 5 weekends left to study. </p>

<p>I’ll review the whole test and maybe post some problems tonight.</p>

<p>@MedicalBoy 5 wrong 1 omit? That’s a 730 (raw score of 60)</p>

<p>Yea I know but I base my scores off of the harshest curve so there are no surprises when I get my scores. A 730 was the scaled score for this test but using a harsh curve it is 700.</p>

<p>Either way, this was just one test. I have to be consistent and not mess up on test day.</p>

<p>MedicalBoy do you mind posting a link to the curve you use? The last thing I want is to be overly generous with myself. Congrats on the 2300 btw</p>

<p>I don’t see this “practice” score as an accomplishment. I’ve scored pretty high on practice tests before but I mess up on test day. </p>

<p>I enter the number wrong and take the worst score of the 3.</p>

<p>@MyRealName I graduated this summer, and I took a gap year. I will apply this year.</p>

<p>For CR, memorizing vocabularies clicks for me. I used to be in the high 600 low 700 range, but couple tests I took recently, I managed to reach 750+
I implemented Noitaraperp’s method, and I review about 300-500 vocabs everyday.</p>

<p>The two test I recently took, I got 19/19 on SC, -2 or -3 on CR, this puts me near a perfect score. Some almost impossible questions are becoming much easier once you have a strong foundation on vocabulary.</p>

<p>Thanks medical boy!!! This link is quite useful.</p>

<p>satsarecool (which they aren’t) Chung’s is a lot harder than the real test and if u constantly get only one wrong, I’m pretty sure ur in good shape. I used Chung’s to review and sometimes even get 2-3 wrongs; but I got 780 on the real test. I think I got a careless error because the question I got wrong was a medium one. Good lucks :)</p>

<p>Benjamin I wanna start memorizing loads of vocabs after seeing this. Nice job! Good lucks! :)</p>

<p>Holy *<strong><em>. During todays test their were several points I wanted to grade a section since I thought I did very poorly like 500’s or 600’s I feel like on this test I got really lucky more so then anything else since I wasn’t really confident on anything. That being said I did *</em></strong>ing great 3 wrong writing 2 wrong cr both vocab and 1 wrong math it was an arithmetic error. So presuming a 10 essay, which is becoming quite an assumption since I haven’t done a single practice essay since the march sat, I got a 2270 according to worst case scenario. I really thought I messed up and got high 1800’s.</p>

<p>Guys, for everyone’s info, you can purchase an proctor app from App Store, ’ SAT Proctor ’ by simulator. I have used it for several times. It’s really nice!!!</p>

<p>where do you get all your practice tests from? thanks!</p>

<p>Hooray, just graded Oct 2006 sat. First time 800 on CR!!! I am ecstatic.</p>

<p>There are couple tricky really questions, only managed to POE them. </p>

<p>800 on CR
800 on Math
660 on Writing.</p>

<p>Now, sentence error questions are keeping me from breaking 2300. I will go over blue book for all sentence error questions.</p>

<p>Kevin, it’s scattered everywhere on the internet. If you google specific test name, you should able to come up with couple test.
