<p>Well I’ve recognized that I miss about 2 SC each time, but I’m intensely studying vocab so that won’t be an issue come october. Like I said, I know what I’m SUPPOSED to do on the reading. I’ve improved over the course of my studying, I guess I just need to keep at it.</p>
<p>I took the SAT in June 2010 with very little prep and got a 2080. My math score was atrocious and I did quite a bit worse on critical reading than I had anticipated, so I’m planning on taking it for the second (and last) time in October.</p>
<p>1900-Junior Year (Nov.)</p>
<p>Very little preparation.</p>
<p>8th Grade - 1810. Yeah it sucks.
Don’t worry. My scores junior year are too legit to quit.</p>
<p>Why do people take the SAT in middle school? I didn’t know 13 year olds could sit still for 5 hours.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Usually as part of university-sponsored talent searches.</p>
<p>January Junior year - 2070 (630CR, 720M, 720W)
Raised it up to a much more satisfying 2260 with double 800’s (on the latter 2 sections) 
- and with around just 15-20 hours worth of prep spread over a month between May and June.</p>
<p>Also, I retook in May without studying (I intended to but time moved quickly between Jan and May) and got the same on CR + M (practically) but a 790 on W (no prep.)
I went into the Jan. test with absolutely no preparation aside from a taking a prep. booklet, minus the essay (the March 2005 test, I believe) in my sophomore year, which I had totally forgotten and probably didn’t help me at all. So basically, my only advantage was not having to read the directions on the test.</p>
<p>Are we counting practice tests? My practice tests were 1900 - 2000 - 2100 and then I got a 2170 on my first real SAT.</p>
<p>I need to go get a blue book…</p>
<p>2100</p>
<p>660–CR
730–M (<strong><em>)
700–W (</em></strong>)</p>
<p>Expected a 2240. FAIL</p>
<p>@Ivystriver2: If you haven’t yet, then yeah it is highly recommended that you do. I progressed from 1800-1900-2000-2100-2170 just by taking practice tests and studying a bit of vocab. Taking practice tests helps you become more comfortable with the test, and it is pretty important that you are comfortable and confident with the test.</p>
<p>Yea, I think if I take 8 of those tests, then I can increase my speed and focus on those 1-2 problems that always mess me up.</p>
<p>June sophomore year: 2380. Thank God.</p>
<p>2180, junior year. I was pleasantly surprised, but now I want more (due to CC influence :D).
My preparation was not well planned, I didn’t practice essays, I didn’t study word lists, and that reflected on my CR and W scores. I’m international and English is my second language, so I should’ve focused more on that.</p>
<p>2290, during what would be the equivalent of…junior year? I think. Had a 110 point jump this January, the month after that.</p>
<p>This thread genuinely makes me sad. Almost EVERYONE here is complaining about a score less than 2300, when I can’t even break 1950 after a week of nonstop studying.</p>
<p>June 2010: 2300 (800 CR, 740 M, 760 W)
that was my first time, and i’m a rising senior… hopefully break the 2300 barrier on the October test for early action/ early decision.</p>
<p>I got a 2120 (690 CR, 700 M, 730 W). Took it cold sophomore year, actually the day RIGHT after I was released from the hospital after recovering from a nearly life-threatening fever (was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit).</p>
<p>@ LulzMaster – Same! I got a 2300 in May (800CR/730M/770W 10E). I’ll be taking it again in October, and I plan on scoring an 800W 12E and boosting the Math just a bit, especially since I made two stupid mistakes the first time. I believe I can earn a 2400 if I really focus.</p>
