you all have really high sat scores!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Take 15-16 practice tests and break 2300 =)</p>

22

<p>1) 1900, 2070
2) No study the first time, 3 days studying from Blue Book.</p>

<p>@blee2011 Thx for your personal experience. I am fully convinced now that more practice from the Blue Book will help me receive a 2200+.</p>

23

<p>didn’t study whatsoever or prepare, just came, took it
Got 1910 (10th grade). Which I knew would get me into the college I want, so I didnt bother to retake it.
Though I feel like I could have definitely gotten 2000,2100 or something if I did :/</p>

<p>I think a 1500 is kind of a low score…the “average” is usually the kind who will have a hard time pulling through college. Average is not good when it comes to academics…
I’d say 1800+ would deem you well prepared for college, but that’s just imo.
I think 1800-1900 is the average at my university, and it’s a state university…and guess state universities = the ideal “average”.</p>

<p>There is two kind of smart
-natural smart
-smart from hard work/effort
Most people employ a different degree of one to make up for what they might lack. Some people have more natural academic ability that developed earlier on as a child, and adapt well to the education system and these kinds of tests. Others work hard to reach the same level.</p>

<p>You win this thread.</p>

<p>Period.</p>

<p>In all seriousness now, I would like to make a clear statement: the SAT is NOT a test of intelligence whatsoever. It tests what it claims to test, and that is your ability to read critically, your ability to do some logical math problems and reason appropriately, and your ability to write effectively. For those of you who think you are of superhuman intelligence just because you got above 2100 or so, you’re wrong. Sure, I’ll concede, some people do perform better on standardized tests by nature. Yes, there WILL be people who will make your same score with the least bit of effort, while you may have exerted a huge amount of it to achieve it. That said, the exam relies more on the amount of PERFECT effort and practice you put in to it, meaning that your score does not come only through effort, but through a COORDINATED, PLANNED effort. Practice smart, review correctly, study in the right times, concentrate. What good is it when you solve ten practice tests if you’re not concentrating, or if you don’t review adequately? THAT is the difference between someone who makes a good effort and one who makes a halfassed effort. That is the difference between a high-scorer and a low-scorer: NOT intelligence (Although it may help to some extent).</p>

<p>PS: I personally scored 2220, but I won’t lie, I worked my ass off for several months before making it, and I started somewhere between 1700-1850.</p>

27

<p>took it once to get my 2200.
you must do the blue book practice tests, there’s no way of getting around it.
and once you get a question wrong, ZERO IN ON IT. don’t skip it</p>

<ol>
<li>Like 50 tests</li>
<li>From the start of last year May to now.</li>

<p>CC has really motivated me to work hard. Most of the students in my school are happy with anything over 1500.</p>

30

<p>^ this is so true!!! before CC, I was perfectly content with my 1850 SAT score, but being on here showed me that get 2100+ is not that difficult and motivated me to work for it.</p>

31

<p>^ Very much the same, now, with all the egotistical motivation I have gotten, I will probably have the best score in my grade. :)</p>

32

<p>That feel when you get around a 2100 and there are still 200 people in your grade that scored higher than you.</p>

<p>My school :(</p>

33

<p>IKR that’s how I feel with the other international students, except instead of 200 students its prob 20000</p>

34

<ol>
<li>once</li>
<li>exactly 15 practice tests, along with Kaplan SAT videos and Chung’s practice book.</li>
