<p>Hi. I wanted to know if anyone has SAT Sucess stories for the unmotivated. Here is mine: </p>
<p>PSAT= 640CR, 640M, 640W (Weird, I know).</p>
<p>DEC SAT = 690CR, 630M, 530W, 6/12 </p>
<p>JAN SAT= 690CR, 680M, 670W, 10/12. </p>
<p>Does anyone have any other sucess stories?</p>
<p>Getting the same exact score with different highs and lows. That's really not much of a success or failure story......more of ....an "equal" story?</p>
<p>PSAT: 68 M, 52 V, 64 W</p>
<p>SAT October: 790 M, 610 CR, 720 W (10/12)</p>
<p>SAT January: 740 M, 690 CR, 720 W (12/12)</p>
<p>I think the only "success" part of this success story is my V/CR scores. The ironic thing is that I never prepped from Psat->October, or October->January. Dang, I was so lucky I got those vocab words (that I actually knew) in January haha. This is more like a story about LUCK.</p>
<p>erm how about
sophomore PSAT- 184
junior PSAT - 224</p>
<p>how in the world did that happen? I don't remember prepping all that much..hmm...</p>
<p>Oct: 760M 620 V 560 W (6/12) (very bad day)</p>
<p>Jan: 780M 680 V 720 W (12/12)</p>
<p>Junior year PSAT: 175 - 54cr 65m 56w
Junior Year (June) SAT: 1970 - 660cr 710m 600w
Senior Year (Nov) SAT: 2160 - 670cr 720m 770w
Senior Year (Jan) SAT: 2240 - 720cr 780m 740w</p>
<p>In all, an increase of 520 all through taking practice tests. I've taken probably about 10 full length ones through the year and have just done questions. For the final SAT, I learned 350 vocab words.</p>
<p>That's incredible gc.</p>
<p>Oct 2004: SAT I 690M, 660V
Dec 2004: SAT II 640 WR (6/12 essay)
Oct 2005: SAT I 660M, 670V, 700 WR (10/12 Essay)
Jan 2006: SAT I 760M, 690V, 730 WR (12/12 Essay)</p>
<p>7th grade SAT: 380M, 360V=740
9th grade PSAT: 44M, 40V, 42W= 126
10th grade PSAT: 50M, 44CR, 49W=143
11th grade PSAT: 80M, 58CR, 60W=198
11th grade SAT (November): 770M, 560CR, 560W=1890
11th grade SAT (January): 780M, 560CR, 690W=2030</p>
<p>I think 10th--->11th PSAT is what stands out the greatest</p>
<p>PSAT: 205 (Forgot the subs)
SATI March: 2110 (680M, 670V, 760W)
SATIDecember: 2100 (720, 670, 710)
SATIJan: 2160 (760, 690, 710)</p>
<p>I improved a ton in math, but CR and W stayed about the same. Definitely most satisfied with the latest results...Taking real practice tests helped a lot more than stupid PR.</p>
<p>gcards1 </p>
<p>that is amazing..how did u study? i really want to know..lol</p>
<p>this shows once again that the sat is not a test of intelligence at all, just a test that people can prep for</p>
<p>crossover - I have a 4.0 and I'm in full IB, so I knew I had the knowledge to do well. The PSAT was a wake up call, and I just took practice tests. Eventually you realize there is only certain kinds of questions. I studied some vocab for the final test to improve cr and it worked. In all, I took about 10 practice tests. </p>
<p>Just remember, you can do it! I stayed positive and challenged myself.</p>
<p>Guys, great work! You all should be very proud of your accomplishments.</p>
<p>Practice Tests:</p>
<p>#1: April 2005; Critical Reading: 560 Writing: 580 Math: 480 (i was hungover... hehehe...)
#2: November 2005; Critical Reading: 650 Writing: 650 Math: 480
#3: January 2006; Critical Reading: 700 Writing: 750 Math: 530</p>
<p>As you see, the scores are steadily improving. I think I can get the reading and writing up to 800, and the math to the 600s if I really work hard. Planning to take 6 full practice tests before the April 1st test. Then, probably 4-5 more before the May test. I already went through 6 tests on the blue book, but only did three of them completely.</p>
<p>Most of my studying before this has been spent on reading books and writing essays, short stories, and poems (none for school). Not exactly the greatest way to study the SAT, but a great way to prepare for college and philosophize about the universe that surrounds me. :)</p>
<h1>1. 2040- Math: 580, Writing: 720, Cr: 740</h1>
<h1>2. 2200- Math: 640, Writing: 760, Cr: 800</h1>
<p>No where near as impressive as some of the other improvements listed here, but I was quite happy :)</p>
<p>June 2005: 1950 - Critical Reading: 700 Math: 570 Writing: 680 (9/12)
October 2005: 2260 - Critical Reading: 800 Math: 680 Writing: 780 (10/12)</p>
<p>I spent my summer prepping for it and I don't even remember how many practice tests I took. Pretty happy about it even though I still couldn't get that Math up to a 700. Math incompetent here. >.<</p>
<p>Soph PSAT: 144
Junior PSAT: 175
SAT (We'll see in April - ACK!) I REALLY need to improve my scores.</p>
<p>SAT is ridculous nowadays. My teacher said in the old days, students would take the test cold, no prep and it would measure chances for college success/aptitude. Now, it just measures your ability to take the test.</p>

<p>That is exactly what my math teacher told us.</p>
