<p>what do you think now?</p>
<p>Do a bit of studying each day and dedicate your summer to the SAT. Don’t stress out. That is honestly the best advice I can give you.</p>
<p>First, how much did you prep for this test? Did you use the Blue Book? Did you memorize some vocab (Direct Hits preferably)? Were you prepared for the 4 hours long test (mentally)? </p>
<p>Basically, start prepping slowly and DO NOT cram. This is not a school test. Prep an hour a day if you can. You have LOTS of time. I was in your position last year. I got my PSAT score (183) and was very disappointed. Even though I hadn’t prepped for it, I knew I had a long way to go to reach my target score. </p>
<p>I eventually got a 2300 on the October SAT. Honestly, just prep a bit a day and memorize vocab (Direct Hits). Make sure you prep the right way and truly understand why answers are right and wrong. Personally, I did CR sections un-timed at first then slowly cut down on time as I began to get better at them.</p>
<p>Never doubt yourself. My goal went from 2100 to 2200 to 2250 to 2300 and to 2350 before the test. You need to WANT this test. All it requires is a decent amount of intelligence and proper prep and 2100 is attainable easily.</p>
<p>exactyly what the above person said. iv been studying for almost 2 months now. (going to take it as a junior in march for the first time) my goal at first was to just break a 2000 and be done with it. Later did i realize i was upping my goal by almost 20-70 points (blue book practice tests) i had to increase my goal to a 2300 now. Honestly u CANNOT cram for an SAT. it tests ur skill. To increase you skill it takes time. Just set your mind to a goal</p>
