<p>I started studying in my first year of high school, which in my country is only two years ago (I’ve started my last year in high school, or at least I will when the year begins in March- but I’ll be entering college in the same year as the current American juniors).</p>
<p>At my school around once a semester they’d administer Practice Tests that were non-Blue Book released exams.</p>
<p>First (almost no preparation): 1940
Second: 2150
Third: 2250
Fourth: 2380</p>
<p>Actual SAT Exam
First (Dec. 2009): 2290
Second (Jan. 2010): 2400</p>
<p>Of course the Practice Tests weren’t the only tests I’d ever done in the sense that I had gone through nearly every book there is: Barron’s, Kaplan, Princeton, All of the Blue Books, McGraw Hill, Sparknotes, Gruber’s (some of it), etc. But the ones we did in school were proctored, while the ones done at home were obviously not.</p>
<p>Towards the end (few weeks before Jan. exam) I was able to score in the 300s most of the time. Except the last week, where my score dropped with every additional practice test I did (funny how that happens).</p>
<p>I guess it’s possible to get a 2400 every time you try- that is every practice test and every actual test you take- but in a never-say-never kind of way. You can not score a 2400 every time and still get a 2400 on the exam. I know I never got a 2400 on a practice test, mostly because I always got at least one question wrong in Math (if I was lucky!). :P</p>
