<p>Since my course load that I took in school was not extremly rigorous (I still have a high GPA) I am trying to do very well on the SAT to balance it out. On the May SAT I scored a 1910 ( 670 CR 590 M and 650 W). I have always been a horrible math student but I wanted to know if anyone has ever raised their math score from a score similar to mine to one above a 650. When I am comparing my scored to schools I want to go to my math score is really hurting me. Also, a Harvard representative came to my school and gave a presentation to me and a few other students, which sparked my interest to maybe consider applying to a few Ivy League schools. If I want to be competitive I know that I need to score at least a 2200+ on the SAT. Is it possible, or should i say probable, for me to raise my score that much by the fall. Thanks.</p>
<p>bumping up my question</p>
<p>Did you practice for your first SAT?</p>
<p>IF not, get the blue book and direct hits vol 1 &2 and study your arse off. It is possible to improve that much.</p>
<p>Yes it is possible that you could raise a 1910 to above a 2200 if you work hard enough. My friend who, like you, is not a good math student raised his math score from a 580 PSAT score (He scored relatively high on CR) to a 740 on the May SAT. He didn’t prep much either. </p>
