SAT scores

Test Preparation
1

<p>Ok so i took the SAT in june and got a 1950 (700M, 640CR, 610W)</p>

<p>i've been studying this summer and my recent scores are now</p>

<p>(780M, 700CR, 750W) 2230</p>

<p>If i were to get around the 2230-2270 range on the October SAT would the collegeboard think that i cheated?</p>

2

<p>They wouldn’t have any reason to think so. Tons of students retake the test and significantly raise their scores. It just shows that you have been studying.</p>

3

<p>This should be the last thing to worry about. Just keep working on your scores.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

4

<p>I retook a 2080 and got a 2230 (was hitting 2370 on practice tests though…) and wasn’t flagged.</p>

5

<p>Your score gets flagged if it jumps by a certain number of points on either the combined score or a particular section (not sure about the cuttoffs, I think it’s around 300+ points). Then they check for cheating (comparing your responses with those of people sitting around you, checking handwriting (I THINK)).
But as long as you and only you are taking the test you’ll be fine.</p>

6

<p>So if I went from 2070 to 2400, would I be flagged?</p>

7

<p>Na, you wouldn’t be. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>First, there’s no way handwriting testing would be done as the only section you get to write on is Section 1, the essay, and the rest you just fill up the bubbles.</p>

8

<p>A certain % increase gets you flagged. If flagged they can check resposes of those sitting near you (test administrator fills out a seating chart).</p>

9

<p>I meant comparing your handwriting with the previous test you took.</p>

10

<p>Probably not. Only if you improve by like, 450+ points. And even then if, you would have nothing to worry about since you aren’t cheating.</p>

11

<p>I have taken once and I came to the test center without preparation, and I could not do anything but Math. I scored 300-400 in CR and Writing, and 700 in Math. I have registered for October SAT and I think I will get 2000, you know, all the summer been preparing… :slight_smile:
What does it mean flagged? will they cancel my scored or what?</p>

12

<p>What if I got a 1500 and then a 2300+? I’m serious.</p>

13

<p>lol really? You would definitely run into some trouble, but you could easily prove you didn’t cheat.</p>

14

<p>^Yes I’m serious. I took the SAT in 7th grade and that’s what I got.</p>

15

<p>I have also the same situation as IceQube!
I got around 1500 and planning to get 2200. How can I proove that I did not cheat people?? If somebody’s scores are the same as mine, somebody’s who sat in my room. Will they check people’s scores around me or everybody’s in the room?
I’m an international.</p>

16

<p>i got 1770 on the may sat retoke the june sat n got a 2070…+300 in less than a month…jst plain hard work</p>

17

<p>I think all previous SAT scores are erased when you enter the ninth grade.</p>
