<p>This is my first post. I just took my final exam as a sophomore today, and received my scores from my first time taking the SAT. 2070 Total: 670 math, 690 critical reading, 710 writing. My favorite college is Bowdoin. I got a 198 on last fall's PSAT. How much did most people's SAT scores go up from soph. year to junior? To be competitive for admission at Bowdoin, how much studying will I need to do to get it where it should be? I know I'm only a sophomore, but I have done more college reading than anyone I know and are pretty knowledgeable about it. I am just not sure what scores to expect next year. Thanks.</p>
<p>Impressive but why did you take the SAT as a Sophmore?
College Board has stats of increases from Sophmore PSAT to Junior PSAT. Also stats from Junior PSAT to Spring SAT.
Go to <a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat</a>
Click around, you will find it.
There is no magic number of hours to score increase.<br>
Nor is there a magic number of how many practice tests to do to yield a certain score increase.</p>
<p>If you get better at taking the SAT, your scores will go up, if not then they will not
You know everything you need to know for the test by freshman/sophomore year.
The amount your score increases will depend on how much study time you devote towards the SAT.</p>
