<p>On my Sophomore PSAT I got a 200 (69 CR 80 M 51 W), but on my last practice test I got the score I mentioned in post 13. @ Awalczak. You’re only a rising sophomore, so you have plenty of time to improve your score, especially your math.</p>
<p>*freshman GPA: UW 4.0
*sophomore GPA: UW 3.92 (AP Lang, so close to an A .<em>.)
*your SAT test or practice test score: 2230 in March as a sophomore
*SAT goal: 2400 (haha don’t we all want that?) in October
*and how you studied: Blue Book up to the March test. I’ve learned more math in school since March, including the method of solving one of the questions I got wrong. Other than practicing essays (I didn’t practice 25-min essays before March, so mine was short and unfinished and received an 8 .</em>.), I don’t think I’ll study much until the October test. I feel like at this point, it’s mostly going to be a matter of luck. For the vocab, I recommend studying roots. I got all of the March test vocab right (probably had a bit of luck, but still) without studying vocab because both my 6th grade Eng teacher and my 10th grade AP Lang teacher made us learn roots.</p>
<p>Yes in our school we buy a separate textbook solely on roots. It’s called Word Clues and we have a practice test from it every week on Greek and Latin roots. I’m really good with that and it definitely helps. Also, taking Spanish helps a lot too. MAL in spanish means BAD. MALevolence = ill will</p>
Current Sophomore
- 3.75 Unweighted, 4.5 weighted
- 4.5 weighted first semester
- Already took SAT, got an 1880 (610 reading, 630 math, 640 writing)
- Ultimate SAT goal: 2100+
- Studied for about 3 weeks by doing practice test in a book
All classic examples of how excess preparation has rendered the SAT meaningless as to predictability.
Current sophomore
1880 on SAT (superscored, 620-CR, 610-M, 650-W), little to no practice
something like a 4.47 weighted but no clue what my unweighted is
