SAT discussion in Jumpngo's jouranl MOVE HERE =] (feed/quick&slow,etc)

<p>I just did half the practice test (decided to do it timed), and im doing very well in writing and math...but same as always in CR ill finish it tomorrow.</p>

<p>@feed: wow i started off in the 1500s as well (math- 600s, cr- 400s, writing- 500s)...i took a few practice tests and my writing went up quite a bit, math a decent amount, but my cr score is still low as #$%# lol...btw how many practice tests did you take?</p>

<p>Around 10. All timed, all with the essay.
Remember to post your scores when you're done!</p>

<p>Lol, me too! The first time I took a SAT test I made like 1500s.</p>

<p>Heck, if I make 2300+ this Saturday, I will make sure to make a comprehensive guide on how I did and everything I've done and try to give away the prep materials I have.</p>

<p>I would give them away right now but I'm too busy studying and I won't be sure I'm really a top scorer until I get my scores back.</p>

<p>Anyways, GL to everyone taking the SAT this Saturday!</p>

<p>@Feed, your really quite amazing and inspirational!</p>

<p>yeah, I didn't start off too hott either. I just wrote a timed essay. Lol, harder than it looks. I think i got my strat down though. I wrote a/b 1.3-.4 pages.</p>

<p>I saw that I wrote a little small, and I definately bunched my words together. Sooooooooo, hypothetically speaking, if I enlarge my words a bit, and put a lil more space in between, I got my 2 pages. =]. Or at least 1.75. My ideas weren't really coherent, but I'll glet it down. ><!</p>

<p>@Quicksandslowly, awh shucks. You're obviously better, because you're getting the hang of things compared to me. I'm GLAD to hear that you wanna compile all your strategies and post them up. :) (Would love to check 'em out. You give really easy-to-follow advice.)</p>

<p>If and when I reach my goal, I definitely want to do that as well. Good luck to you too!</p>

<p>@jumpngo Lol, we think alike. I always convince myself that I can probably <em>stretch</em> out my writing, but I couldn't do that on my March SAT. I only wrote like 1.5 pages, and got an 8/12. Keep practicing, although at this point, I think you shouldn't practice writing the essays. Instead read sample essays, think of a couple of flexible examples and look at your mistakes from past practice tests. I've noticed that the usual themes in essays are:
1. Success vs. Failure
2. Individuality (aka Freedom - could include Choice, Motives, Selfishness, Competition etc.)
3. Experience (Learning from Past, Thinking of the Future, Technology etc.)
4. Vague... [This could include stuff from Political crap to Quotes... a few days ago I had to write on 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.']<--- Hate these although they can seem to be quite easy at times. <_< </p>

<p>Anyway, yea, happy studying. ;)</p>

<p>lol thanks for the advice, but i'm a person that needs to do the work in order to feel confident. I need a foundation of confidence in order to go high. Anyways, yeah I want to write how I acheived my scores too. This is of course AFTER I take them, and completely DONE.</p>

<p>When I read 'go high' I thought you meant...'get high'. >_>'
I'm really sleepy right now.</p>

<p>Well, whatever rolls your wheel.
This sucks, you're making me want to write an essay or two also. Hogwash!</p>

<p>Will take another practice test tomorrow (hopefully), and post scores.
Until then... Zzz</p>

<p>lol. another practice test. us nerds...</p>

<p>I'm eager to join into this whole SAT practice and post your scores club when my exams finish (i.e. 3 weeks from now) although you're all probably taking the May 3rd SATs :(</p>

<p>We should still make a club though!</p>

<p>lol club.......</p>

<p>Agreed with Sci-Fry, since I know I'll probably be taking the SAT again (UNLESS I break 2300, which is very unlikely right now).</p>

<p>Anyway, going to take the practice test today.
Will post scores.</p>

<p>P.S. Today we filled out AP stuff at our school, and that's just really scary. I haven't been studying for APs at all. Crap. >_<
And High School years are supposed to be the best years of your life. Roll...</p>

<p>no. thats college. high school is alright; its just a sling shot. lol break 2300. f that. I think my goal will be to get low 700s on each section. which is unlikely right now as well..........................................</p>

<p>FEEED, what school are you trying to go again? Ivies?</p>

<p>@Feed. That would be awesome! BTW, do you know what the prompt for the March SAT was? I'd like to practice with it. Thanks!</p>

<p>lemme know how your tests goes Feed.</p>

<p>@quicksandslowly, i think it had something to do with teamwork and whether it's beneficial to work as a team or alone. </p>

<p>I just got back i think ima try to finish the rest of the 3 sections right now</p>

<p>lemme know how you do too voodoo.</p>

<p>hey do ya'll meticulously/tediously analyze every question on each of the tests you take? even the ones you get right? Its just so tedious.. argh.</p>

<p>@jumpngo Yes, it's all part of improving. Unless you are absolutely sure that you will never miss a kind of question then you should always review the questions.</p>

<p>i just finished the test and I reached my goal (2000), but i'm sure i just got extremely lucky.</p>

<p>Math- 760
CR- 530 (T.T still can't improve on cr)
Writing- 730 (i didn't do essay i gave myself an 8 for it)</p>

<p>I'm really happy about my writing score this is the first time i've gone over 700 in writing, though my CR is still low as ever I really don't know what to do :/</p>
