<p>@Arachnotron: Hi, I took my first SAT this past May without any preparation…yucko score of 1920 combined…1240/1600. So, this summer I’ve been hardcore studying for the upcoming SAT in October and November…now, on my most 2 recent full length timed exams I’ve gotten a 2280 (1520/1600) and a 2320 (1520/1600) I’m so ecstatic! (btw these tests are out of the new SAT official study guide) but my question is…considering I did so bad on the first SAT and the DRAMATIC increase in scores, should I be worried? I mean, I’m afraid that I won’t do the same on the real test as my practice ones, that maybe this was just a false hope…any ideas/advice?</p>
