3 key factors for 2400 in SAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>For me, there are three factors that can enable myself to thrive for excellence in SAT testings.

  1. Enjoyment
  2. Motivation
  3. Discipline</p>

<p>Of all the above factors, I don’t possess any of them. If I only had one of these, then I believe that I would be able to achieve my goal of 2300. Most of the people who have achieved excellent scores were also great self-motivators. Rarely people enjoy or need to be disciplined in order to achieve a decent score on the SAT. So how do I stay motivated and so that I won’t be sidetracked?</p>

<p>Some are just good at it.
Take our valedictorian for example.</p>

<p>Lazy, conceited, and an alcoholic.
Yet she maintains a 3.98 uw gpa and got a 2280 on her SAT’s.</p>

<p>She lacks pretty much all the factors you listed :P</p>

<p>Blah, blah. There’s no secret, no factors, gaaahhhh! You study for the test by getting familiar with the questions, then you take the real thing and see how you do.</p>

<p>That’s it.</p>

<p>People who talk about getting 2300s never get them. People who get off forums to study and practice sometimes get them.</p>

<p>Haha, might be mean of me to point this out (heck, I’m already done with my SATI’s and most of my II’s…just lit left to go!)…</p>

<p>But in order not to be sidetracked, I’d suggest you

  1. get off this forum
  2. seriously start studying more and less philo XD</p>

<p>It requires a hell of a lot of work. A senior in my school this year aced both his SAT and his ACT, an extremely rare feat.</p>

6

<p>What did he get?</p>

7

<p>“What did he get?”</p>

<p>Perhaps I should reiterate: he aced the SAT (2400) and ACT (36).</p>

8

<p>I wished I aced the ACT. </p>

<p>Haha XD To prove my point that these tests test nothing but diligence, here are my (shocking) scores:</p>

<p>Took the ACT unprepared, unwilling, and totally…out of my mind: 30 (29, 26, 28, 30 or something on the seperate sections)</p>

<p>Took the SAT after sharing my brain with 60 practice exams: 2400</p>

<p>I don’t know what happened with the SAT II’s (2x800). I think I was just lucky…plus math and physics are my best subjects for a certain reason (reason: I HATE LITERATURE/HISTORY/SOCIAL SCIENCES/ ENGLISH GRAMMAR/ ANYTHING LIKE THAT XD)</p>

<p>Well sorry, “ace” could mean alot of things. ~.~
But Damn, 2400/36? crazy</p>

10

<p>Listen to posters #3 and #4</p>

<p>Get off the forum and go study!</p>

11

<p>I have 1 but not 2 or 3. I enjoy standardized tests 'cause I’m good at them and don’t NEED 2 or 3. :]</p>

<p>@ euphoria: Why would someone take the ACT if he already got a perfect on the SAT, or the opposite? Seems a little… unnecessary.</p>

12

<p>Posters 3 and 4 both scored a 2340 and a 2400 respectively.
LOL, they can stay on here forever.</p>

<p>@Poseur, he took the ACT cause he enjoys standardized tests and he’s good at them.</p>

13

<p>I enjoy standardized tests and I’m good at them, but I’m not gonna waste a Saturday(?) morning to stroke my ego…</p>

14

<p>Do colleges give more prestige to ppl that have high scores on both the SAT and the ACT? Why would that guy that aced the SAT take the ACT too.</p>

15

<p>^Cause he can, jealous? :P</p>

16

<p>Haha, I HATE standarized tests so much, but I really love watching other people attempt studying XD…so maybe I love it?</p>

<p>I totally lack #3, but I think my #2 makes up for it =D</p>

17

<p>I think it’s a “because it’s there” kind of thing. Anybody hear about the PSAT-SAT-ACT “Trifecta”?</p>

18

<p>ivychan lend me your powers!</p>

19

<p>His name is “ivychan”. Until your name is even close to being as cool as that, you have no chance.</p>

<p>I would be very careful making accusations on a publicly viewed webite that someone is an alcoholic,lazy and conceited. The legal ramifications could be quite serious and if you can delete that post you should…immediately!</p>
