<p>For the people who took the SAT more than once, how much better or worse did you do?</p>
<p>I want to raise my score by 320 points. Is that near impossible?</p>
<p>HArd, but can be done, get the blue book and practice practice practice</p>
<p>I raised my score by 120 points, and that's studying with the College Board blue book.</p>
<p>I raised my score 90, and thought that was good.</p>
<p>I rose it by 290 so it is very likely. Teh first practice test I took 1.5 montsh before the sat I got a 2100 flat. after the 8th I was scoring in the low 2300s. On the real thing, I got 2390.</p>
<p>I went from a 1960 (first test I ever took) to a 2070 to the first time I took the real thing, to a 2140 when I re-took it.</p>
<p>overall --> 180 point jump..... not bad.</p>
<p>June '05: 1890
Jan '06: 2130</p>
<p>240 pt jump, I'm expecting to gain another 100 or so on my final attempt in June, so 320 isn't impossible, although I should note that i was a sophomore in June '05 and I really didn't care too much.</p>

<p>Wow, you are good.
What methods and/or books did you use?</p>
<p>I took the SAT three times and made an overall 250 pt jump. Just practice a lot and some SAT tests are harder than others so hope you might get a good one.</p>
<p>Oh yes, eat breakfast, sleep well, and relax the night before.</p>
<p>No secrets. Just sitting down every saturday morning and sometimes sundays and taking a practice test from teh CB blue book. I don't even take the sections consecutively. Just take one and relax for maybe an hour. then take another, but I make sure I review each question and each answer with teh CB online sat prep class. After test 10 (blue book has 8 tests and online course has 6), I saw some monstrous improvement in speed and improvement in accuracy. I used to use all the time to finish CR and writing sections, but after 10 tests. I was a monster. Finished in with 10-12 minutes to spare. My accuracy did not improve so much since I got more careless because my score improved.... But I focused hard on the real thing. Be sure to try to work as fast as possible without losing accuracy during each test.</p>
<p>I went from a 2090 PSAT prediction to a 2200 SAT the same year. It's all about preparation.</p>
<p>Junior year psat 213
SAT 2390 as I said in the previous post. all about preparation. In my opinion 2 months of prep is sufficient. do no cram it all into the last week. let it soak in over the course of 1-2 months</p>
<p>I guess if you studied the second time BUT didn't study for the first test... then yea, 320 points is pretty realistic.</p>
<p>I'd say more possible than realistic. It'd be pretty incredible.</p>
<p>I raised my score by 450 points</p>
<p>How did you raise it 450 points - over what period of time - and what did you do differently?</p>
<p>on the old scale 1240 the first time to 1450 the last time</p>
<p>someone raised by 970
he took the old one and got 1240, then the new one 2310.</p>
