<p>Do you think its possible to raise you SAT score by at least 10 points a day? And how would you achieve that? Thanks :)</p>
<p>10 points a day? It’s possible, but depends from where you start. If you start from low score, obviously, it’s possible. But, if you are like scoring 2200+ or even around that ballpark, increasing 10 points a day… That’s not easy.</p>
<p>Clarify where you are starting then we can help/assist in your goal.</p>
<p>It depends on ur score but u can def improve by taking many practice tests and reviewing the mistakes u made</p>
<p>That’s fundamentally the wrong way to approach the SAT, imo.</p>
<p>you can’t really measure your improvement in such a way because it’s not like +1 question = 10 points.</p>
<p>Actually, grayfalcon, it’s really easy at that point. </p>
<p>The difference between 760CR, 740M and 800CR, 800M can very well be all of 4 questions.</p>
<p>i’m at an 1850(600W 560CR 690M) right now and plan to get at least a 2300 by the end of the summer. Is this humanly possible?</p>
<p>Take a practice test a week leading up to the SAT, review every question you got wrong (Even more so if it’s a concept error). It’s possible, but it’ll require A LOT of work.</p>
<p>Amadeuic, you might be right, but I don’t necessarily agree with you. What you’re stating is that anyone has 1500 on Math and Verbal can easily improve to 1600 on Math and Verbal. I don’t think this is true.</p>
<p>I do not have a personal experience to back this statement up. But, reading the threads in CC has shown that such increase is not something that’s considered “really easy.”</p>
<p>I think it depends on how much you studied for the 1850. For instance, I got a 1930 by taking the test with no prep and then took it with loads of studying crammed into one month and got a 2230. Since you have more time and your 1850 was at very low potential, if you dedicate your summer to studying for the SAT, sure you could get a 2300+.</p>
<p>I would aim for a more realistic goal though… 2100+ maybe.</p>
<p>This is kind of irrelevant to the 10 points a day, but I need to get my 630 CR to a 700. 70 pts. have a whole summer. I have been reading some enjoyment books, but I really need to work on strategy. I get all vocab questions right, but about 2 wrong per passage. Any help?</p>
<p>I know how:
You start at 0. SAT is the next day. DOn’t study just go in and sign your name. You get 200—> 200 pts over the day</p>
<p>It is highly, highly unlikely. If you got an 1850 and want to go to a 2300, assuming mild prep for the 1850 and this is your junior or sophomore year, you are simply not as smart as you think you are. 2100 would be a challenging yet possible goal. 2300 is not. Of the dozens of millions of students who take the SAT, scarce thousands manage to score that high. don’t think you can just study your way to that level.</p>
<p>If those conditions are incorrect, mind you, disregard that statement.</p>
<p>However, if you are convinced that you’re on track for ivies and want to get the 2300 you think you deserve to match that from your 1850, you had better start re-evaluating your situation. perhaps, if you have overbearing parents who will accept nothing less than the ivies, you can take your significantly lower tuition, your diploma, and your good job offers and tell them where they can stick them.</p>
<p>With writing I’d say it’s definitely possible. I got a 590 W last time I took the SAT. I’m taking it again in June and I started studying a few days ago. Last SAT I got 11 questions wrong, now I’m down to 5 wrong on the practices tests. I’m shootin for high 700’s.</p>
<p>IBFootballer- don’t discourage the guy. It’s definitely possible. Let em work his a** off, worst comes to worst he improves his score but not up to 2300.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say it is impossible to go from an 1850-2300, it would just take A LOT of work. I don’t think 10 points a day is highly probable, but you never know. I have heard stories on CC of people who have gone from scores around your range to the 2300-2400 range. You just have to realize that they worked extremely hard to get that score, more than likely always had the knowledge and just needed a refresher, etc. </p>
<p>For instance, a kid in Calculus has more than likely already gone through Geometry and is fairly smart. I know in my case, I could barely remember the Geometry because I took it in 8th grade and my SAT’s in my Junior year. If you haven’t done much prep, and you work hard, you can boost your score considerably.
I am assuming the same would go for CR and Writing. </p>
<p>I say go for it, try your best, but don’t be too disappointed if you don’t make it. Remember, 2100+ is a really good score, so don’t be ashamed if you come up short.</p>
<p>It’s funny, however, to note that some students who are in upper level math (i.e. Calculus) sometime do poorly on SAT because the math used in them are so simple. And in their exams for classes, simple arithmetic error doesn’t cost them much point (assuming it’s a really minor error at the end of problem of course). But, SAT… that’s everything. Ha</p>
<p>That’s true, grayfalcon, but that can easily be corrected with enough practice, it just takes a good worth ethic and a willing to learn. Like I said, I didn’t know how to do a lot of the Geometry and I made stupid mistakes elsewhere just because I was over thinking a problem, etc. I believe that a majority of the people on this forum are quite intelligent and are therefore capable of scoring high as long as they put in the work to refresh their mind of the little stuff that is overlooked in higher level math.</p>
<p>I’m averaging 2200-2250 on the Blue Book papers and am taking the SAT next week; what’s the best way for me to raise this score quickly? (I mean, overall :)).</p>
<p>A really good night sleep. Seriously.</p>
