<p>@sat2014 - Best of luck, you can do it! :)</p>
<p>Guys, what are you studying right now? Like what do you think is best to study at this point? </p>
<p>i do practice tests from princeton review. the material on it is almost identical to college board questions. i do every subject equally but i spend a little bit more time on reading passages and hard grammar/math questions</p>
<p>Out of the 3 most recent blue book tests you took, get your scores and average them.</p>
<p>Your actual test score will be close to that average. But it’ll likely shift toward the higher end if you keep up the studying for just 11 more days 
</p>
<p>For some, the SAT can be very easy, maybe because they have read all their life, practiced grammar when they grew up, or were very good at solving math problems. It depends on the person because some people are better at these tests than others due to every person’s distinct academic upbringing. However, that doesn’t mean someone who got a 1700 can’t improve to a 2300. It all boils down to practice and familiarity with the test. This test is designed to allow anyone to score well as long as the person has followed through with effective practice. </p>
<p>In all honesty, it comes down to the amount of focus you have. On a good day I can score in the high 600s for CR and on a reall bad day sometimes it goes to high 500s. It all depends on focus. I think that’s my main concern. </p>
<p>I can’t wait to get it over with tbh </p>
<p>Schoolwork has been making my studying really inconsistent lately, so I’m getting even more worried that I won’t be able to reach my goal next saturday. The senioritis is hitting strong :(</p>
<p>really have to improve my consistency on reading passages. got 6 wrong on 1 reading section and 4 of them were just really dumb mistakes. have to improve on picking the BEST answer, not a good answer. my strong vocab has helped my CR but i have to minimize the damage on reading passages. really easy to say this but much harder to do when practicing</p>
<p>@DaneBrick - At this point, I’m prioritizing the SAT over school. My GPA is decent right now, and a week of putting in minimal effort won’t do too much damage, right…</p>
<p>I’m still a junior, so if I get it over with now, I can focus on developing my ECs later in the year and not have to worry about standardized testing BS.</p>
<p>@glasshours @DaneBrick Lol I have like 2 Cs, and I’ve been prioritizing schoolwork (aka I haven’t even started studying for the SATs yet… what is wrong with me?) </p>
<p>I’m going to start studying today. Wish me luck I guess ■■■.</p>
<p>Since I’ve learned this is probably the last time I can take it (personal reasons), I’m really really really really really hoping I can get a 2350+ and a 800 on the math section. Ugh… And then I have the PSATs the week after, and hopefully I’ll be more prepared for that one.</p>
<p>is taking 3 practice tests this weekend too much you guys think?</p>
<p>@shinchang - You’re a junior, too?! Good luck! Hopefully we’ll both get 2350+ and 800 on math, although quite frankly, I don’t know if I’d retake a 2310. I’m actually having trouble getting a perfect score on the math section because I keep making careless errors. 
Ugh.</p>
<p>@DaneBrick - That’s what I’m planning to do. No such thing as too much if you’re aiming for a really high score, I suppose, LOL.</p>
<p>@DaneBrick I’m planning on taking 4. And Testive. Does anyone know how helpful/accurate Testive is?
@glasshours <3 heck yeah. but lol yeah probably i wouldn’t retake a 2310 either unless my math subscore ends up being terribad qq and me too me too about the careless errors thing.</p>
<p>very happy i fixed my CR inconsistencies. i went through a practice test and got every single passages based question level 1-3 correct. however i struggled on the level 4 and 5 questions and was always stuck with 2 answers and the one i would pick would be wrong. when i go back and pick a 2nd time, i correct myself every time. any tips on how to nail those level 4 and 5 reading passage questions? think harder? debate which answer makes more sense?</p>
<p>If you want a full-proof method, it would be to read a paragraph and answer the questions relating to that paragraph.if you come across one of those global or main idea questions, just skip it till you have read the whole passage.this will definitely improve anyone’s score to the 700s. Concerning the more difficult questions, play devil’s advocate and try to find evidence that disproves the other choice. Also, practice will help with identifying the correct answers accurately and swiftly. For me, the CR has gotten so much easier because of using this technique instead of writing notes as you read the passage. I literally have 8-10 minutes left over for each section with seldom a question wrong. </p>
<p>that’s interesting. i feel the best thing to do is to disprove one of them. if you can you are usually right rather than prove which one is right. given all that, i wouldn’t mind some easy passages during the SAT but if not I’ll be prepared. as long as vocab is o.k., i’ll try to reduce the amount of mistakes i make on those hard questions. i used to write notes but that strategy kinda backfire due to time. i only write notes if the passage is hard to comprehend. usually science passages. however if the passage as a whole is hard to comprehend, ill write a sentence per paragraph </p>
<p>curve predictions anyone?</p>
<p>@al3xisnic0le It’s going to be really, really harsh. :(</p>
<p>^LOL but let’s all hope it’s not going to be</p>
