<p>Ok so i've taken all the tests in the bluebook, but i never reviewed any of the answers for each of the test. I have gotten 2100's on those tests, mostly. So, if i do review my answers, do you think i might be able to improve to 2300 by March? </p>
<p>Math i need no reviewing. but CR i def. need to and sometimes Writing (i get about 3-5 wrong)</p>
<p>you can only get your score so high. Someone who gets 500s every time isn’t very likely to get 700s no matter how hard he tries. 1st time i took it i got all of the writing MC correct w/o studying because i knew how to spot all of the tricks to the grammar questions. My friend (who’s pretty smart) took an intense SAT prep course & scored lower than i did on writing. If you don’t know those rules of grammar, you’re bound to get at least one or two wrong. same goes with the other sections</p>
<p>No you will not. Practice doesn’t make perfect; practice makes consistency. What I’m saying is if you’re getting a problem wrong and you’re not reviewing it and then you keep doing the tests(aka the same problems wrong) you’re only fortifying yourself to continue to getting them wrong. Habits are easy to start but difficult but break. This isn’t a linear course. Do problems=set score, review=+100 to set, do problems while mountains climbing=+200 to set score. It’s a learning process and by not intensely reviewing questions (let alone ones you get wrong) is going to get you nowhere. You’re better off asking “So i’ve only done one practice test and I haven’t reviewed and I got a 2100… can I get a 2300 by March just by reviewing that one test?” because essentially that’s what you’re asking lol; reviewing all the tests but having already exhausting your practice resources is pretty useless, hopefully you have the BB1 and can get the BB2 to get the 3 extra tests.</p>

<p>I have taken all those tests in the new BB. Plus you’re assuming that i have exhausted all my resources as of now, which i havent’. I’m saying that if i exhaust all my resources (i.e. OC, and 10 RS) BY THE TIME i take the test in MArch, and carefully analyze my practice tests, will i be able to break 2300?</p>
<p>I say no because the whole point of taking the practice test is to see where you stand. Once you complete it you should review what you get wrong so you don’t make the same mistakes again and then take another practice test. If you don’t improve that suggests you didn’t review the missed questions adequately. If you review it all in the end you are sort of risking it by testing if you grasped the reasons you got the answers wrong on the real thing, unless, of course, you will be practicing more after you review all your mistakes.</p>
