<p>Is 100 points really the average maximum that one could raise in each section of the SAT? I say 100 because most SAT books promise that jump. However, with extensive practice and studying is it possible to raise scores more than 100? Obviously that changes with each individual but Im just looking for a general answer. </p>
<p>Also, if you have raised your scores in CR, Math,Writing more than 100 points please share.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i’ve gone from averaging 500 on CR to 650 on CR.
its becoming a consistent 680-720 now</p>
<p>this is on Barron’s practice tests.</p>
<p>my 10th grade PSAT was 550
my 11th grade PSAT was 640
my March CR score was 680
:D</p>
<p>so thats ~ 130 points on CR</p>
<p>i would just read random articles and try remember what its about
basically just read
the more the merrier</p>
<p>thats awesome. did you achieve that by doing frequent practice tests?</p>
<p>if you go up by like 500 points or something on all sections they would accuse you of cheating</p>
<p>
There is no such thing as an “average maximum.” That’s an oxymoron. (That’s your SAT word of the day.)</p>
<p>It depends on the section and how much you know when you first take it.</p>
<p>What I mean is, if you didn’t know all of the math concepts tested on the SAT, and then you learned them, it’s very plausible that your score would go way up. But for CR and V I think the 100 rule does apply unless you’re doing some serious techniques.</p>
<p>In terms of math, the scale is so ridiculous that cleaning up your careless mistakes could easily net you a hundred points. I had one student go from ~650 to a 770 just by checking over his work. </p>
<p>With writing, if you’ve got time to memorize idioms and grammar rules, that’ll help. I’m not sure how much you can improve on the essay/CR, though.</p>
<p>thanks for your replies guys</p>
<p>just work hard; if you study enough, you will reach your goal. </p>
<p>The first time I tested I got:
Math~ 500
CR~500
Writing~490</p>
<p>And I knew all the material. </p>
<p>My score is now up to:
Math~780
CR~720
Writ~780</p>
<p>If you study enough, it will happen. I can’t emphasize that enough</p>
<p>great job njr025. I have a similar story, not as impressive though</p>
<p>math-550
CR-530
Writing-500</p>
<p>math-780
cr-630
writing-610</p>
<p>anhtimmy: what did you read to increase that score? i’m very desperate for tips that could help boost my CR score. i got a 50-something on my PSAT last october (very deplorable).</p>
<p>i think theres no substitute for just pure studying. on them march sat i got
CR: 640
Math: 640
Writing: 730</p>
<p>this summer i am going to just workout and study SATs… i am aiming for 2200+.</p>
<p>There’s no 100-point rule at all… The more you study, the better you get (that’s assuming you study wisely).</p>
<p>CR, for example, may take longer to improve on, but you could honestly go from a 550-600 to an 800 in CR over the course of a summer if you worked hard enough.</p>
<p>People using Rocket Review tend to get some ridiculous improvements out of it, by the way.</p>
<p>I used Grammatix to really improve my passage-reading, btw. I went from getting only about 85% of those right to getting nearly 100% of them right (47/48 for passage-based reading questions in my most recent practice test) just by learning the Grammatix strategies and practicing them for a couple of nights. I didn’t really need it for math because I was already good enough an 800 in that. My writing also improved, though, once again, I was already in the low 700’s when I read the Grammatix. Now, the only things holding me back are those idioms. Prepositions need to be destroyed.</p>
<p>Oh yes, Grammatix also gives you step-by-step instructions on how to automatically get a perfect score on your essay. You don’t need any real writing skills at all (aside from basic literacy), you just need to follow the steps and you get an automatic 6. It has been tested on online grading and it works every time.</p>
<p>What are the Grammatix math tricks?</p>
<p>Not true. I went from a 198 PSAT sophmore year to a 231 PSAT junior year and a 2350+ SAT in the spring of junior year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>dude thats very impressive. extreme ballerness. how did you study? bluebook?</p>
<p>I took a Kaplan course associated with my school and did many many many practice tests–all 8 in the blue book in addition to about 8 kaplan and 6 princeton review tests.</p>
<p>The SAT became an obsession, but it worked.</p>
<p>LOL at Narcissa’s post… going up 500 pts in each section would be an accusation of cheating. Well yeah it would be. But who honestly goes from 300 in each section to 800 in each section… thats 900 -> 2400 LOL</p>
<p>1780 (550 CR, 620 M, 610 W)</p>
<p>to </p>
<p>2300 (720 CR, 780 M, 800 W)</p>
<p>You can make great improvements, with alot of studying
sophomore psat: 162 (51 cr, 67, math, 44 writing)
to
2210 (710 CR,780M, 720W)</p>
