<p>I'm a junior and I want to cry and sleep for ten years. Lol. But really.
So, I recently got my SAT scores from the January testing and I did not practice at all because it was the same week as midterms. </p>
<p>I got a total of 1770.
CR: 520 (yikes!!!) Math: 650 Writing: 600</p>
<p>My goal is at least 2100 and right now, I don't know if I can do it because I barely have time to do all my homework. I practice piano 3 hours a day and I have a quiz everyday in history along with tons of homework. I'm in all honors (which is basically ap equivalent, my school only allows seniors to take ap) and...just...ugh. I pass out at 2am. My classmates are getting 2300s and it's really fustrating because they are always complaining about not getting a 2400. They do just as much work as me, too. My parents don't believe SAT classes are worth the money but they did buy me the blue book.
(Sorry about my ranting... and if i don't sense. I'm typing this on my phone on my way to some school meeting)</p>
<p>Any tips? Is it even possible? I plan on taking the next SAT in May. </p>
<p>Try to do at least one 25 minute section every day. Just keep practicing and practicing, if you really devote yourself you’ll find the time. I believe in you! I got a 169 (1690) on my PSAT this october and then took the real sat in january and got a 2100. It’s just about working that blue book and utilizing all your resources (e.g. college confidential, which has a plethora of good studies methods for the SAT).</p>
<p>Bring down piano practice to like 1-2 hours and study for the SAT. Junior year is pretty late for your score to improve but definitely possible. Just do nothing but study for SAT during the summer and hope that you raise the scores. You can improve on CR, M, and W at least 100 points.</p>
<p>You need to re-evaluate your priorities temporarily. Why do you need to practice 3 hours of piano?
Can you do 2 hours for a couple of months and study SAT the other hour? I am not sure if you have a concert or whatever you are preparing for. And also ask yourself if you have to do that now or could you focus more on SAT until May and then pick up more piano over the summer.</p>
