<p>Hey everyone,
got my Jan test results
640 M 590 V 520 W (8 Essay)
I dont know what to do with myself, i feel like i am a failure!
I was planning on taking the test again in April, but I think I may postpone till June
I have the Blue CB book, I had been practicing from there, and I had gotten 1950-2050 each time, Why would my score reflect so poorly? is there anything else I can do? my target score is around 2200 (750-800 M 650-700 V 650-700 W)
I dont know why I got 10 math wrong, not to be boasting or anything, but I can solve like ridicolous math problems at school and junk (trig/calc) but i get beaten by this stupid test!
sigh, thanks for reading…</p>
<p>Did you get horny during the test? Because I know my friend did, and he scored in the 1500’s.</p>
<p>no i dont think i did…sorry to dissapoint you</p>
<p>That’s because the SAT is laden with tricks.</p>
<p>Believe me, I felt my math scores did not reflect my ability at all when I first took it, but I rose it ~100 points. (Then again, I don’t think the SAT does either). The reason why you did badly in math is because you didn’t carefully read. You NEED to make sure you are answering what they ask, because they’ll usually flip around the question in the last sentence and say, “What’s two times x?” as opposed to “What is x?”</p>
