<p>Hello there… I just started preparing for the SAT for the first time…
Today I took my first practice test, which happened to be a diagnostic practice test from Barron’s 2009 SAT Prep book…
I got an 1850 on my first try, and this is without preparing at all
I was wondering if you guys could possibly help predict a score for me on the SAT i will take in January and how I could possibly improve my score from now until then.</p>
<p>Other info:
My score breakdown was 600, 620, 650 (CR, math, writing)
For some reason i was messing up on math, but that should be my least concern because my best subject is math and most of my mistakes were stupid ones.
I am currently a junior taking pre-calulus/trig, ap stats, and regular english</p>
<p>Well you know if you make a bunch of little mistakes on math, the College Board won’t give you the points So don’t completely toss it out to the side. Make sure you learn not to make careless errors.</p>
<p>first of all, take a real CB test and tell us THAT score. a Barron’s practice test tells us nothing.</p>
<p>For math, stupid mistakes really add up. You’re sitting there saying, “oh, they were all stupid mistakes. I won’t ever make that mistake again.” Then on the next test, you do it again. You REALLY have to watch to make sure you don’t fall into TCB’s traps. So make sure that you are familiar with TCB’s math question types, so that you can take your time through the questions to avoid stupid mistakes. Remember- don’t only tell yourself why your answer is right, know why all the other answers are wrong. Do that, and you should be fine. :)</p>
