<p>I took my Junior PSAT and I recieved </p>
<p>Math 680
CR 690
Writing 560
so 1930 combined</p>
<p>I did not study at all and I guessed on about 1/5 of the Writing section out of boredum(not a smart choice I know)</p>
<p>I am taking the March SAT and I really want a 1450 or higher for m+cr and above a 2100 for combined</p>
<p>Im looking at maybe a 720/740/650 split</p>
<p>I have over 3 months to study</p>
<p>I already bought the Blue Collegeboard book
what else should I get? I am thinking Princeton review/barrons may help
I am also programming my ti-84 with some programs to help with math</p>
<p>How realistic is it for me to improve from a 1930 to a 2110
and a 1370 to a 1460</p>
<p>possible?
I didnt study at all for the psat and didnt even know I had it that day. LOL</p>
<p>what should I stufy from and what timeline should I spread out the prep books</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP IF YOU CANNOT TELL I AM VERY NERVOUS!
Thanks!</p>
<p>The Blue Book should be enough. Just go through all the tests and review. Get Direct Hits for vocab. You should be good to go.</p>
<p>If you are telling the truth about how you worked through the writing section (guessing on a fifth of the whole section… doesn’t sound very plausible to me but eh) then you should be just fine. Studying helped me out a lot (44 point increase on PSAT) so I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t help you.</p>
<p>well when I say guessed I mean I really just looked over it for a second and picked which looked best</p>
<p>i literally mean about a second or so</p>
<p>I am confident I can raise my writing to a 650 with studying</p>
<p>but what about raising my 1370 to 1460
that is my biggest concern
is it possible to raise 90 points on (cr+m) if I did not study before</p>
<p>oh hell yes! I see you getting a 1500+/1600.
To improve a 680 => 800 for math should be a piece of cake.
To improve a 690 => 750+ for CR should be a piece of cake as well, for you at least.
I see you getting a 2200+
Good luck and study hard!</p>
<p>fresh101?</p>
<p>any reason for the sarcasm?</p>
<p>It sounds like he is being overly optimistic, not sarcastic.</p>
<p>And concerning your math/reading I don’t think you should be worried at all. Last year I scored a lot worse than you did on the PSAT (52cr/64m) and since sophomore year I studied like crazy and improved to a 70cr/79m, which are the scores you are looking for I presume. Getting a 750+ on the math isn’t difficult; it’s just about staying consistent throughout the test.</p>
<p>Im not being sarcastic…im being serious. I swear. It would not make any logical sense to be sarcastic in this context. </p>
<p>I see potential in you.</p>
