<p>I have not yet taken an SAT, but many practice versions of SAT in my SAT class. My highest score was a 1670.
CR: 440, M: 640, W: 590
However, my best in CR was 460 (I know... still really low...) M: 690 and W: 590... so, i guess if you take my "super score", it is a 1740...
I will be a junior this next school year and will be taking my first SAT in September (SO EXCITED... hahahaha... X_X )
I really want to be able to get my Math up to an 800, Writing: 700, and CR: ~600...
Would this even be achievable? From a 1670 to a 2100?
Also, recommendations of what SAT books to practice from would be great!
Thank you all so much in advance! :D</p>
<p>If you’re starting at a 1670 as a sophomore, it’s possible to get a 2000 by end of junior year.</p>
<p>I had a 152 on my sophomore PSAT, 187 on my junior PSAT, and am well on my way to a 2000+ for my senior year October SAT.</p>
<p>Now, if you had a 1670 at the end of sophomore year, and won’t be learning much more between then and September, your score might not jump that much. If you spend the summer studying a lot more than you did in the SAT class, a lot is possible. I do suggest retaking the SAT at the end of your junior year, and you will likely improve even more just from being in school.</p>
<p>As a rising junior, yes - you certainly have significant potential to bring your score up.</p>
<p>CR - Do untimed practice in the blue book. At the score you’re at, I suspect that you may be having some comprehension issues most likely due to zoning out (trust me, I’ve been there). As you work through the blue book, you will encounter a variety of passages, some that may be interesting to you and some that may not. Practice will make it so that your interest level will not determine your score and ability to answer the questions correctly. When doing the tests untimed, try to get every single question correct. That way, you will be more confident in your abilities. Then, go to timed tests to improve speed. Also, your vocab is probably lacking. If you come across a word in any of the passages/untimed tests that you do not know the definition of, write it down, look it up and make your own vocab list in Microsoft Excel. People on this forum have also suggested Direct Hits, so try that. too.</p>
<p>Math - You are at a level such that you are either conceptually strong and have difficulties with the tougher questions, or you are making simple mistakes on easier questions. You’ve done enough practice tests, you should know. Depending on which of the two it is, work on it. Again, start with untimed practice - if you’re struggling with accuracy, this will help you improve and if you’re struggling with the tougher questions, this will ensure that you take the time to learn the concepts relating to the question. That way, you will get it correct next time around.</p>
<p>Writing - Most of the time, sentences can be corrected the way they sound. Seriously - if you generally exercise correct grammar when speaking and writing, that alone will help your score. If necessary, perhaps brush up on some grammar. For the essay, I’m not sure where you’re scoring, but your goal should be to get to a 10 (since it is the lowest essay score you can get without hurting your overall Writing section score). This is actually pretty easy if you 1) come up with canned examples that will work for any general topic, 2) use universal vocab words such as “plethora” and “paragon”, and 3) look up sample College Board essays to familiarize yourself with the general format (based on that, you can develop your own formula).</p>
<p>Hope this helps! Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>Btw the next SAT is in October, not September 
</p>
<p>Thank you both, that was very helpful!
@EngineBus2015 I will for sure order the Blue Book, many people have all told me how helpful it is! 
I do struggle a lot with reading comprehension and vocabulary… Many people tell me to read a lot of articles and books, but the problem is I cannot get myself to focus. No matter how pressured I am, I doze off during the middle of the test 
I really am staying hopeful for my math though! I recently took the Subject Test for Math Level 2 and received a 780 on it! So, I hope to get my math on the SAT up to an 800. :)</p>
