<p>I got a 157 on my first PSAT, but a 184 on my 2nd PSAT. The only section I improved significantly on was math, 62----> 76. My reading went from a 44 to a 49. My writing went from a 51 to a 59. Then, I studied for the March make-up SAT on the 15th for at most 3 days. I concentrated 95percent of my time on writing because I felt that it was the easiest to raise. I haven't gotten my scores yet, but I hope it will come out tomorrow morning. I'm very sure I got somewhere from a 1950-2050 (around that range). My math is almost maxed out, my writing is rapidly improving. I'm guessing I will get a 700, more or less on writing, 760-790 on math, and omg, reading I really don't know. Probably a 540ish. Is there still room for improvement. I feel like the reading section is just so stubborn to me. Any tips on reading? Will it come naturally? I need the secrets! :) </p>
<p>Any advice will be gladly taken. Also, with a 3.0 GPA, 1950( If I get this score), math team president, and science club member, how good of a college could I get into? </p>
<p>For example, chances for:
BU
BC
UNH
UCONN
any other prestigious colleges</p>
<p>Is my GPA too low for BU? I know my SAT can go up, I just don't know how much. chances???</p>
<p>my improving of reading comes mostly from doing problems.
unlike writing and math... there really is no lesson to read on reading. do enough problems and you'll get a hang of it.</p>
<p>Having a fairly large vocabulary helps for both the sentence completion section as well as the actual reading comprehension. So, basically, build a fairly large vocabulary and then practice on the actual "mechanics" of reading comprehension. </p>
<p>You should see a significant score increase with that, methinks.</p>
<p>It would also be helpful to learn the word "methinks". Not only is it a freaking awesome word, but is also isn't used much! ;)</p>
<p>^lol. On the essay, "Methinks that during the Civil War..."</p>
<p>That's pretty cool. My word of the year: methinks. Methinks the collegeboard is a procrastinator. In the letter they sent me for the make-up, it said that I would get my scores today. On my account, it says, "please wait 7-10 days". !!!!!!!</p>
<p>I got a copy of the letter. It says, "Your makeup test scores will appear as March 1 SAT" or something to that effect -- meaning colleges will see that you took the test on March 1. I don't think it said anything about when the scores would be released.</p>
