When to be serious?
When should I really be serious about studying for the SAT's?
Currently, I am a sophmore, I don't really have time to study for the SAT's during the school year.... 2 months of summer is serious insuffice.
Agree? Or are you CC'ers all geniuses?

^ Agreed.
I'm a soph too... studied like 5 months (got a 2000+ first try). So, it depends on what score you start with on practice tests and where you want to go with it.

Btw, you spelt sophomore wrong.
Random fact: Sophomore is the only term in High School Years that spells 'homo'. If you wear a shirt that says sophomore and then wear a jacket/hoodie on top of it... it's quite an experience (I did that).

Okay, you need to start working... 150 is the average score and yours comes out to be around 130.
2300 is not a realistic goal right now, but it's definitely not impossible. You have almost a year to bring it up.
Get the CollegeBoard book, etc.
I even recommend joining an SAT class. It'll definitely be helpful for you.

Panic, get out of this thread. And stop editing your posts and manipulating them after somebody's *agreed* to them...
You're very condescending.

CC, he made fun of you... just ignore him.

Yes, "No comprendo" means "I don't understand".

You wrote, "No comprehendo." It's not the same.
