<p>s/he got a 10 on her 2400 test, but that essay was a 12 from a different sitting.</p>
<p>I love this thread. </p>
<p>Some people can actually gain 30 pounds in 6 months. I think I could easily gain 30 pounds if not more in less than 6 months. It all depends on your body type LOLOLOL.</p>
<p>wow this is great, it actually motivated me for tomorrow. While the rest of the forum tends to depress me :(</p>
<p>thanks for this stick this up</p>
<p>Thanks Man,</p>
<p>This post has REALLY encouraged me A LOT.</p>
<p>As a Canadian/international student, I know a 2280 is too precarious to be safe but I was never sure if i should retake it. I was just like you, I did COUNTLESS practice tests and problems. For me the CR was also the hardest and I can honestly say, i did over 100 sections of CR and got a 760 :(makes me feel dumb now lol)</p>
<p>this has really motivate me to strive for something higher and reach the most of my potential. </p>
<p>Thanks again! and best of luck to everyone else who is taking the SAT's :)</p>
<p>Good tips. And congrats on getting a 2400. But I think spending that much of your life studying for the SAT is a waste of time. I mean, it's not even the most important part of your application. I think it's a little odd if you spend more time preparing for a college entrance exam than actually BEING in college. Step back a little and think about it. The SAT is just a really stupid test. The first time I took it, I studied for a few months intensively and got a 2060, which kind of annoyed me. I took it again 6 months later, studied for two nights, and got a 2240. The first time I was stressed as heck, the second I was way more relaxed. Study, learn what you can to beat this stupid test, but don't obsess over it. I did (the first time around) and I regret it.</p>
<p>That said, sweet post, OP.</p>
<p>Great thread! I'm aiming for a 2400 - better to spend an extra half-hour of what would otherwise be wasted time working towards the SAT than wondering "what if" when you get rejected next year...</p>
<p>thanks for all the help</p>
<p>thanks a loooottt :-) i hope i can also take 2400</p>
<p>wow… 10char</p>
<p>Honestly, I am also one of those who look out for tips, hints, trips, tricks to score higher. I know that I have been wasting hours for this stupid and non-existing thing. But since this post, I will exploit that time for practicing.
Haiz, look, it’s 34 days before the May SAT!</p>
<p>Bump- Because the thread itself is amazing.</p>
<p>Ooh, this is nice.</p>
<p>I was wondering, is there anything bad about using literature?</p>
<p>Why would there be?</p>
<p>^ Because it was not in the list of recommended examples…</p>
<p>EDIT: I meant for the essay</p>
<p>No; literature is fine.</p>
<p>and for anyone interested, the OP got in to Columbia(CC, not engineering) ED</p>
<p>You have gotta be kidding me. Anybody who starts out studying from 8th grade can get 2400. What was the point of this post anyway? Study harder?</p>

<p>many forums feature titles to threads so that one can see what the original post is about in a nutshell–kinda like the first sentence of a paragraph, or the title of a book or movie.</p>
<p>“tips from a 2400er”
hmm sounds like he’s earned a 2400 and wishes to share some tips for those who want them (probably not you–so why’d you open the ****ing thread). idk maybe that was the point. </p>
<p>i’m not going to speak for others but personally i found masochist’s post quite inspiring, if it was anything at all. </p>
<p>and btw, many, MANY people study the SAT pre-high school. VERY FEW earn a 2400. why would you spend the effort to advertise your b17ching attitude?</p>
<p>■■■■■ much?</p>
