<p>hm. just wondering. after one drastic improvement "spurt", is it possible to improve much more thereafter, in your experience, or have you reached your maximum, so to speak? For instance. In 10th grade i scored a 1210 on my psat without study. Was dissatisfied so i studied over the summer. This january (old test) scored a 1450. Is it possible to improve very much again thru study? How many people can testify to this....Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes it is possible, nothing is impossible.</p>
<p>If you do learn really hard and practice a lot of questions then you can get any score. My sister got 1220(660M and 560V) and two years later she got 1560 (800M and 760V). I guess she did study alot.</p>
<p>I think if you are really determined, then you'll can easily get 2400</p>
<p>thanks. did you sister take the SAT other times between the 1220 and the 1560? That's a pretty awesome jump :) I'm thinking that one's original score is never an accurate measure of "test-taking potential" (not looking to offend anyone), but perhaps one's capacity for improvement is, like the people who try very hard for a long time and manage only to break a 1200 or so, vs those who might have started with an equivalent score but improved by a much greater margin....</p>
<p>ETS says you have to improve by 60 points on each section to consider it significant..</p>
<p>10th grade PSAT-181 (59v, 65m, 57w)
11th grade old SAT- 1370 (660v, 710m)
11th grade PSAT- 217 (67cr, 73m, 77w)
11th grade new SAT- 2300 (720cr, 780m, 800w)</p>
<p>Obviously, yes it's very possible. Don't underestimate the importance of your junior year in your mental development. My reading abilities/vocabulary, as well as my math and writing skills, got much much better after a year of AP US History, Honors English, and Precalc.</p>
<p>yes: psat in 10 grade: 1200</p>
<p>junior year (january) sat: 1510 (710 V 800M)</p>
<p>practicing (lots of vocab!!!) helps, but i think just plain growth and maturity makes the biggest difference. and u have to believe in yourself, and want to do well, and kinda, well, like doing the test haha. i didn't even practice math. but i started studying vocab in my 9 grade summer. And I did lots of CR practice. yea, so, large improvement is very possible.</p>
<p>Yeah...I think I can safely say that prepping for an exam will lead to success, especially in the ETS's new and improved writing section. I scored a miserable 59 my sophmore year, but had an amazing english teacher who made us suffer through Strunk and White Grammar. End result: 80 on writing section junior year. Additionally, math on the SAT and PSAT is equivalent to 8-9th grade level math, so yeah...</p>
<p>I got a 1390 (770V, 620M) in May 2004, then studied the 10 Real SATs over the summer and got a 1470 (730V, 740M) for a 1510 combined. If you are relatively smart, it really is all about understanding the test and some easy strategies.</p>
<p>7th grade sat-
460 math
280 reading
400ish writing</p>
<p>sat grade 11-
710 math
660 reading
770 writing</p>
<p>It all depends on the amount of preparation you put into improving for the SAT. Use barrons for math, sat II writing barrons for writing, and for reading...Collegeboard and read editorials from good sources daily.</p>
