My quest for a 2300

<p>Currently a Junior</p>

<p>So at the moment my score is</p>

<p>Critical Reading: 610
Math: 700
Writing: 700 </p>

<p>Suggestions on improving my score to a 2300. Any inspirational stories you guys would like to share?</p>

<p>I don't know how many questions I got wrong, but I'll find out when I get my score report on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Just go for it the next test. </p>

<p>Now that you’ve gotten past much of the essential SAT knowledge, know that there is a large psychological factor.</p>

<p>Just feel aggressive and ambitious when taking the test, and try to get into the SAT mindset at least a week before. Also, when there’s a great deal of luck involved with anything, try to set up rituals to counter the sense that you lack control.</p>

<p>I believe the SAT depends heavily on luck, especially in the <90% range of test takers, so I know which room I like at my school, and I know where I like to sit once I get there (even if I don’t get the room I like.) Although I do try to cheat the system by moving back in line.</p>

<p>Nothing you can really do Vocab-wise, once you memorize around 300-400. </p>

<p>Once a few days before the test date, all you can do is relax and power up. Don’t try to pick up new strategies, new idioms, ect. Just feel ready.</p>

<p>^My next test is in May. I’m gonna start studying for it again (doing practice tests). Haven’t touched anything for two weeks. </p>

<p>I’m just gonna do all the BB tests and all the QAS tests I have again.</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Has anyone else with a 2000+ score improved to a 2300?</p>

<p>Tips on how to improve Reading?</p>

<p>Nothing special, just take and go over as many practice tests as you can.</p>

<p>@kamikaze: great advice. I’ll take it.</p>

<p>I think the most important thing (I only took the SATs in March so I can’t say for sure though) is to walk into the test and just honestly whisper to yourself: “I am going to crush this test”</p>

<p>When I started practicing for the SAT, my BB scores were like 1930-1960.
My parents were rushing me to take the SAT, but I took my time. I didn’t actually take it until January of my junior year. I re-did every single BB test and did the PR Hit parade. For Math I watched every single Khan Academy video. I put in a summer and then about 3 more months of work (2 hours a night).</p>

<p>My Jan SAT was a 2250
My March SAT was a 2340</p>

<p>Practice makes perfect!</p>

<p>My initial Math score (BB) was a 590, after khan academy, it was a 790
My CR score was a 630, and in the end it was a 750
My W score was a 690, and in the end it was a 800</p>

<p>Best of luck mate.</p>
