I know what you mean...I have an APUSH test that morning, and would hate to do badly on that because of seeing my score...
I say sleep in; it's not like the scores are going anywhere!

I think I'm too nervous to check my scores haha. I think I may wait until after next weekend's SAT. I don't want to lose morale, but at the same time I feel very, very anxious to check scores. I have a boat load of homework, and back-to-back tests all week. I think I already lost some school morale, as I probably failed 3 tests today hahaha. I'm also reading through PWN the SAT right now. I read about 13 pages, but I had to put the book down because I have to study for an AP Lit test. I also have to study for AP Bio and physics. I'll hopefully be free tomorrow to work on SAT stuff all day. I want to definitely get right into the habit of taking multiple times practice sections, and reviewing them afterwards.

The thread title sounds like like that one drug commercial.

Prepared for approximately one month over the past year. Got a 2130! It's really nothing by College Confidential standards, but I still feel proud.
For those interested, breakdown was 800 CR, 640 M, 690/11 W/E. Anyone preparing for a few months can certainly get 2200-2300+.
It's somewhat off topic, but College Board seemed much better prepared in anticipating the sever load and running with it.
Best of luck to everybody!

Wow. Seeing all this success is great. Awesome work, guys. I am taking my first SAT in December. Hope I can get at least 2000... CErnie, since you got 800 on Cr, any essential tips? At best, I stand in the low 600's on practice tests. 
But again. Congrats to everyone. You deserve it.

I am dissapointed that i declined in math, i was honestly expecting an 800, i still beat 2100 though. 2150
CR-710
M-740
W-700
700 or more on all which is good, so my superscored would be 2160 cuz i got 750 on math last time

Bad news - there's no fast and hard rules for improving your score in CR. Unlike math and writing, which can be improved with practice, CR stretches the notion of objective testing to a questionable level.
From a personal hypothesis, I credit my score in CR due to my endless leisure reading during middle school. If you're interested on some history, our school participated in a program called Reading Counts. I always wanted to beat this girl on the number of books she could read, and I eventually did. Nearly ~90 books later, she acknowledged defeat and promptly stopped talking and looking at me.
You'd be better advised asking others, but I'd surmise that continuous reading of non-fiction material (of advanced level) would be excellent practice. Vocabulary is something you eventually pick up from this process; I wouldn't recommend studying flashcards. I'd also reconsidering CR answers that seem overtly extremist or opinionated in tone or factual basis.
Best of luck in your future endeavors!

I got an 800 in reading twice. I credit it to my having philosophy as a hobby. Stidying philosophy is basically practicing critical reading. You both need to look out what is literally being said, and what is meant.
If you understand Kant, the reading SAT is a breeze.
