Quest for the 2100

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hello! I think I'll be keeping a mini-blog on this thread for study motivation and etc. I'm starting for real tomorrow, hopefully. If you guys have any tips along the way, I would greatly appreciate that!</p>

<p>Uh, let's see! I am a junior and I am planning to finish this in one last shot! I'm aiming for an art school, btw. Maybe Cooper Union or SVA. :)</p>

<p>This Jan SAT would be my second time taking it! On my first try, I got a total of 2020. The breakdown is:
640 CR
710 Math
670 Writing (10 on essay)</p>

<p>I would like to try getting a few points higher in CR and Writing. And get lucky again in math and get a 700+!! My first study plan was uh... extreme five day cramming!! LMAO. It consisted of two timed practice tests a day! My average was 1900 range, so I guess I got lucky that first time. Hopefully, if I do some actual studying, I'll get that 2100. I really don't wanna take it a third time.</p>

<p>Wish me luck!!</p>

<p>If you’ve gotten a 1900 + on the first tries of your SAT, you are off to a great start. Many people started even lower than that. I started at 1500 in freshmen year, studied a bit raised it to 1960 but dropped back down to 1720 after months of not studying. I’m now consistently in the 2150-2200 range.</p>

<p>I’m a sophmore and I got a 2200. No prep courses. How? Barron’s book and CB book
finish both and ur good.</p>

<p>@Josh: Those are encouraging words, thank you!!
@amit: I have the CB book, but I don’t have Baron. For now, I just use Princeton and fall back on CB and Mcgraw if I have to!</p>

<p>Barrons is really the book to have (other than CB). Read it and you can feel the magic :).</p>
