<p>I’m taking it for the first time 
I took a Kaplan administered practice and kinda know what I have to work on (MATH) but I guess I want to see how I do on the REAL thing.</p>
<p>I just took the practice BB test, and i got a total of 1860 LOL. im so surprised because I didnt do any prep for the last 5 months. should i keep studying more? or can i just chill down?</p>
<p>@Suleyman95 so if i leave about 1-3 questions in each of the math sections and get perfect on all other math questions, i can get 720-750 ?</p>
<p>I’m fairly nervous - mostly because I want to apply to Stanford REA, and their deadline for the SAT is October - so i’m hoping I can score well. I need to get a 700+ on Writing and CR to have a decent chance.</p>
<p>LOL i was jus messing around</p>
<p>^no you weren’t. You are a genius.</p>
<p>This is my last shot at the SAT, and I have not prepared as much as I should have. These next few weeks I am going to try to put more studying in and I need to learn both volumes of direct hits. This is going to be a challenge but I’m up to it.</p>
<p>last chance to score a 2100+… hopefully I can pull it off. My latest reading score was a 700, first time breaking 700 :D</p>
<p>I will get a 2400+.</p>
<p>i wish i had the same confidence:(</p>
<p>I’ve never taken the SAT before, and I haven’t studied at all for it yet (unless you count 9 straight months of doing questions of the day). I’ll do a couple of practice tests and finish memorizing my Direct Hits words. I’m really only taking it for national merit/achievement though.</p>
<p>Omg me too i hate CR section, i dont know why i lose concentration a lot while reading lol
haha we really need to focus on CR now!!!</p>
<p>Previous:1750
Goal: break 2000 is my ultimate goal lol (enough for boston college?)</p>
<p>currently i am getting surprisingly low marks in math and cr. finding it very hard to break the 1900 barrier. any suggestions on improving maths and cr?</p>
<p>Anybody else having trouble finding time to prep? When are you guys taking your daily section? If not daily, when do you prep?</p>
<p>i am not getting any time to prep whats so ever! darn! this is horrible! i am gonna go all out tomorrow since its Friday! so i wont have to worry about school work and what not!</p>
<p>Last score was 690 CR 740 M 780 W in March (2210). I’ve been studying a lot and just recently took two practice tests from the blue book. I got a 2180 after about 5 hours of sleep and then a 2310 with an 800 in CR after more sleep. Lesson here is don’t get less than 9 hours of sleep before the SAT :P. Goal for me is 2350 with at least one 800, but I’m not sure if I can hit it.</p>
<p>man, someone…CR needs desperate help over here. When you guys look for evidence in the passage that REFUTES one of the answer choices (leads you onto the right answer after eliminating the wrong) how do you go about it?</p>
<p>I’m having some trouble trying to pick out evidence proving and disproving answer choices. </p>
<p>Hit me up with a PM please.</p>
<p>The passage doesn’t have to refute the answer choice, it just has to not support the entirety of that choice. This alone makes that answer choice wrong. If every aspect of an answer choice is not supported by a passage, then don’t choose that answer. A correct answer is one that 1. Is relevant to and answers the question being asked and 2. Is supported in its entirety by the text. For example: </p>
<p>Bob loves the color blue. He paints everything that he owns blue. His lucky shirt is the color blue. His entire bed is blue. </p>
<p>Which of the following can be inferred about Bob?</p>
<p>A. Bob’s favorite color is blue
B. Bob dislikes the color red
C. Bob has a lot of blue shirts
D. Many people who like the color blue have blue beds
E. Bob has a passion for painting</p>
<p>Well?</p>
<p>Actually, none of these answers are right. </p>
<p>A is not supported by the text. It says that Bob loves the color blue and that everything he owns is painted blue, but it does not say that it is his favorite color. Could he not love the color brown just as much? </p>
<p>B is not supported either. Just because he likes blue does not mean he hates red (unless he goes to Yale. jk) </p>
<p>C is not right. The text says he has at least one blue shirt, but never references any more of them; thus this is not the right answer choice. </p>
<p>D does not answer the question (and isn’t supported, at least by this portion of the text) because the question asks you to make an inference about Bob. This answer choice is talking about ‘many people’, not Bob</p>
<p>E is definitely not supported by the text. It says that Bob does a lot of painting, but it does not in any way indicate that he has a passion for it. </p>
<p>When doing passage based questions, you have to ask yourself those two fundamental questions. Does my answer choice answer the question? Is it supported by the text? Don’t infer past what the text is telling you. When asked an inference question, I like to use the phrase ‘explicitly implied’ instead of just ‘implied’. The answer will still be there in the text, you just have to think a bit more than you would for some other questions. </p>
<p>Sorry, this isn’t too organized and probably isn’t too helpful, but that’s my mindset when I do CR questions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only on CC would people take this seriously.</p>
<p>^lol.
Anyways, I say we pull a “perfect score”, hack into collegeboard and post the SAT on here. Then we can all get 2400’s!</p>
