<p>Is 1900 points on SAT1 enough?</p>
<p>No, aim for 2100+</p>
<p>what about if a have good scores on SAT2 above 780 on maths and 600 on physics?</p>
<p>hmm, still better to get above 700 on all of them i think.</p>
<p>ok I'll try then. So what matter is SAT1 ..... english.... words....
fine I'm going to study harder:)</p>
<p>Since Harvard is ideally looking for 600 to 800 on each section of the SAT I as well as each individual SAT II, it will be safe to say that you will not be rejected solely on the basis of your test scores. </p>
<p>However, if in the context of your application it looks like your peers from a similar socioeconomic background such as yoursdo better on average for Ivy League schools, then that might be cause for concern. </p>
<p>Again, scores under 700 will not "kill" your chances. Harvard really does evaluate scores in the context of your application. For example, I know kids who got great scores, but they are not on financial aid. There was a student in my entryway who had a 1320 SAT I, but she (non-minority) was from an inner-city high school and clearly had to prep for the test herself.</p>
<p>I'm preparing for the test myself as well, but I think that I could do better. On the sample tests which I made at home I got more than 700. But on the real test it was not like that.
I can't write essays... I make a lot of mistakes.
Can you tell me some way to improve my writing skills? Or can you tell me a site in which I can read some good essays, just to see what is a 'good essay'?</p>
<p>sparknotes.com tells you how to write the kind of essay they want.</p>
<p>Otherwise just practice I suppose, and read.</p>
<p>The important thing is to work out a simple structure for what you want to say (ie point/paragraph), then work from there and let it flow.</p>
<p>For the SAT II Writing, you just want to follow the five-paragraph essay approach. Start out broad, go to specifics, and then go out broad again. It's very formulaic.</p>
<p>What examples is good have? From history, literature....</p>
