2230 (710 M, 740 CR, 780 W) with an online prep course - my mother said I had to complete it or she wouldn't let me take the SAT, though when she wasn't looking I just went on Facebook and played Tetris - and flipping through parts of an SAT book.

2340 (780s) with no studying. I'm a strong believer in the SAT still being an aptitude test, so I don't think it's fair for anyone to study.

1860... Didn't study as much as I should have, which is evident in my score.

But then, you got a 2340.

@sylvan8798 Exactly. I think the 2340 is an accurate representation of my abilities. Maybe I could have scored higher if I studied, but I know that I am not innately smart enough to get a 2400. I think studying throws off the relative scoring that the SAT is supposed to provide.

Yesterday my friend was just bashing and criticizing the entire SAT for how trivial it is. Mostly because it doesn't really measure anything except how well you take a test. He got a 2290 with no study whatsoever.

2090 studied. basically went through some practice tests. I practiced individual sections at a time though, I never did a full test at once.

Apparently my SAT scores show a negative correlation between studying and section score:

Math: 800, no studying
Writing: 660, a little review of grammar
Reading: 610, several practice sections
2070 total

Obviously this doesn't mean that studying yields a negative score (since I'm good at math but average at reading/writing) but I was wondering if anyone else had the same thing.
