<p>I don't really have any lol. I was just intrigued so I clicked this thread.</p>
<p>recent SAT - 10 * ninth grade PSAT = 600 points!</p>
<p>Psat Soph year- 180 </p>
<p>Sat senior year 2200 !!!!!!!!</p>
<p>plz list how u did it</p>
<p>1st SAT (CR 650 M650 W600) 1900 -- april
2nd SAT (CR 640 M800 W640) 2080 -- october</p>
<p>went up 150 points in math --- self studied an hour a day from june till october for the critical reading section almost exclusively i guess the first math one was a fluke, but a reasonably large amount self study (8hrs/week) can usually raise ur score significantly unless ur already in the 2250 - 2350 range. i recomend princeton review and the blue book cause the kaplan book is easier than the test</p>
<p>i jumped 150 points with NO extra work. I want being complacent, i have just lost most of my interest in going to college in the US and took it for the hell of it. I think the fact you are more relaxed, know what to expect and how to pace yourself second time really counts for a lot. </p>
<p>Just things like knowing how much food to bring, i can always spot the first time takers because they bring like a bottle of water, and those who know what an ordeal it is bring a whole lunch to ram down in the 5 minute breaks!</p>
<p>jumped from a 1920 to a 2140 and 33 on the ACT. i did nothing other than be more relaxed and not care about it as much.</p>
<p>What's "the blue book"?</p>
<p>^"The Official Study Guide for the new SAT" made by the college board.</p>
<p>SAT in eleventh grade: 2220.
SAT in twelfth grade: 2320.</p>
<p>Didn't do much prep, remembered to eat on test morning, and took enough ibuprofen to keep me going through illness. I've begun to suspect SAT scores of correlating pretty strongly to age -- all I really did between the two tests was get older, as I already knew all the material.</p>
<p>PSAT Sophomore Year: 166</p>
<p>SAT Junior Year: 1800</p>
<p>SAT Senior Year: 2230</p>
<p>Did practice tests over and over from Blue book and PR Book.</p>
<p>I have the biggest SAT deprovement (new word? lol) story!</p>
<p>SAT 1- 760M, 690CR, 660W (11 essay)
SAT 2- 770M, 690CR, 660W (10 essay)
SAT 3- 800M, 610CR, 630W (8 essay)</p>
<p>I studied for the third the most (mostly on reading and writing), then the second, and the first time I didn't study at all. I only wanted to go up in reading and writing, but the exact opposite happened. Oh well...</p>
<p>How often do people score worse on their 2nd sitting?</p>
