Raising SAT to 2300+ in a year

Test Preparation
1

<p>Is it possible to do so? I took a prac SAT a few months ago (from Princeton Review, I think) and I got a 2090 (or something around that; I forget the exact number). Would it be possible to raise my score to a 2300+ by the time the PSAT rolls around next year? I really want to get NMSQT next year, and I plan to take the SAT right after I take the NMSQT.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of doing 3-4 vocab words a day for an entire year so I can have ~1100 vocab words down by then. Also going to do an essay a week for as long as the prompts allow me to.</p>

<p>definitely possible. I scored 1980 in January (590 CR 770 M 620 W - 10 essay), then after just 3 weeks of study and 10 practice tests, I scored 2240 (680 CR 760 M 800 W - 12 essay), and then, after 6 more practice tests, and lots of vocab studied, I think I brought my CR over 750 (I’ll know for sure in 10 days!). So just keep practicing, and studying vocab, and your score will rise. Good luck!</p>

<p>Do you have any tips on how to do well on the SAT/ACT essays?</p>

<p>You’re scoring really high right now, and I think you can definitely get 2300+. I really like your vocab memorizing plan :)</p>
