<p>^ Impressive(ly creepy). :)</p>

<p>Idunno I just remember all sorts of useless stuff ( info about you doesn’t fall under this cat) but I can’t remember where I put my keys or that I put chicken in the oven 20 minutes ago (I think it was 20 minutes ago).</p>

<p>I mean, you’re the AP Psych pro; is there a reason for all of this?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You remember what you think is worth remembering or what you have connected to something that is worth remembering.</p>

24

<p>ah
burnt chicken
not worth eating so not worth remembering!</p>

<p>EDIT: doesn’t it go deeper than that though? It’s not like, while reading CC posts, I made a note to myself to remember certain stuff.</p>

<p>i received a 2120 in May and I believe that it is possible to score above 2300 in 2 months. I am for sure not close to being an expert on the SAT, but at that point (2100+) you are missing very few questions. Am i right about this generalization?</p>

<p>It need not be consciously prioritized. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What generalization? There is usually a pretty big gap in grasp of the SAT between people who are consistently scoring 2300-2400 and those scoring around 2100. A solid 2300-2400er is not likely to get unlucky and score 2100; likewise, a solid 2100er is not likely to get lucky and score 2300+. It is definitely possible to work your way up, though.</p>

<p>yea, i understand what your saying. I guess what I am trying to say is that on the May SAT, I missed 4 math questions, 3 writing and 5 critical reading and I received a 2150-so in terms of concepts needed to learn-its not a huge gap.</p>

28

<p>I’m going to be a junior next year, and I’m starting to study for the SAT now. </p>

<p>I’m thinking about doing the PSAT first, then take the SAT my first time in January. Good idea?</p>

29

<p>^Good idea :] Just make sure you’re ready for the SAT when you take it so you don’t end up taking the test too many times.</p>

<p>i’m going to be a sophomore</p>

<p>i know that i can get an 800 on math and writing as long as i don’t make careless mistakes, which i am making a lot of (so i just need to practice). but critical reading is just UGH. i absolutely sometimes cannot understand what the author is trying to say, and sentence completion can only get me so far.</p>
