What do I need?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm a freshman, and I took the SAT on May 4th for the second time. I took it last year in 8th grade for a talent search and got a 2000, and I find out what I got this time on the 23rd.</p>

<p>Here are my grades so far for this year and what I predict I'll be getting for quarter 4 and my final exam:</p>

<pre><code> (Q1 Q2 Midterm Q3 Q4 Final)
</code></pre>

<p>English 9 Honors- B B B B B B<br>
History Honors- A A A B A A<br>
Algebra II GT- B B B B B A<br>
Biology G/T- B D B C B B<br>
Spanish 2 Honors- B B B C B A
Piano 1- B B A B A A<br>
Lifetime Fit S1- A B A n/a n/a n/a<br>
Health S2- n/a n/a n/a A A A</p>

<p>(Lifetime Fitness and Health are half credits)</p>

<p>I fully plan on getting all A's for the rest of high school. </p>

<p>My question is, how good of an SAT score do I need to make up for how badly I've done in freshman year to get into a good college? Not necessarily Ivies, but good.</p>

<p>Also, please don't say that I don't need to worry about this as a freshman. I promise even if you say that I'll worry anyway.</p>

<p>you worrying about this as a frosh is what will keep you back
colleges tend to not like it when you take the SAT before junior year (shows ur a try hard)</p>

<p>but</p>

<p>if you show a general trend in your SAT scores, you should be fine (get better than ur 8th grade one). if you get like a 2200+, there is no need to rly take it later so thats good too.</p>

<p>if you wanna make up for ur freshman grades, the SAT wont do ****. having a life outside of academics, however, will. so get started on that. colleges will understand if you went thru a bunch of stuff</p>

<p>I don’t want to look like a try-hard, I’m just hoping that taking it more often will increase my changes of getting a better SAT score. Haha</p>

<p>I do a lot of volunteer stuff, so I’m not worried about extracurriculars. I’m more focused on the academic side of things at this point.</p>
