<p>I’ll do this for the lulz.
- 2260 (680 Cr, 800 M, 780 W 9e)
- Two March did not help the superscore at all. They were all from January
- Probably 10?
- 11
- BB and Princeton. Also have Direct Hits.
- Started preping for May last week. Read the first book of DH (the core vocab one) and will start the harder one next week. Will probably review the week before
- 2300+ (superscore, so only a 720+ CR and I’m happy!)
- CR
- Northwestern University ED for me. If rejected, the usual Wash U, UC, UMish, UIUC, HPYSM, UPenn… that sort of thing.
- May 1. Better be my last one. Going all out for this. Know any particularly helpful tips for CR? 34 on ACT reading if that puts anything into perspective.</p>

</ol>
<p>My scores are ok for my colleges, but I feel A) as if I could’ve done much better on CR and W, though I’m worried my math score will drop if I retake it; B) Most of my other application data goes against me [scant volunteering, no leadership, no athletics, 3.6 GPA UW], so I need SAT scores as high as I can</p>

<li>1950~2120 (1950,1980,2120)</li>

<li>not a lot… i’ve been focusing on ACT so i havent done a lot of prep for SAT</li>

<p>While I’ve never done the kaplan practice tests, I have done Kaplan PSAT tests, which were compelte garbage. For example, they test comma and semicolon usage in the Error ID section.</p>
<p>its the latest edition</p>
<p>“Kaplan PSAT premier 2010” is the one I am referring to</p>

<p>I get ~700 in W. I want to get 800. I get 1-2 errors in M, I want to get to 0 errors as well. Also, CR I get 660-690. Weakest section, but since Ivys (mostly) superscore, I feel like if I can nail W and M on this May SAT, I can then focus on CR for the next one…so I wanna try to get as close to 800 in W and M as possible. What should I do?</p>
<ol>
<li>2150 (640 CR/800 M/710 W with 9 essay, all in March)</li>
<li>Twice</li>
<li>~5 PR before the first time, ~5 BB before the second time</li>
<li>11</li>
<li>PR at first, but switched to BB. Glanced over DH for vocab but not enough.</li>
<li>Not long. I did some prep over the summer, and then just refreshing & practicing 2 weeks before the test</li>
<li>2200 minimum for sure, but if I could get 2300 (superscored) that’d be amazing</li>
