<p>I’m currently a freshmen at high school. I’ve taken a Mock SAT/ACT w/ no preparement provided by the school. The scores were 1700 for SAT, 23 for ACT.</p>
<p>I’ve heard good stuff about the Blue Book, so I plan on reading and doing that for the summer, and if I have time, the red book for the ACT</p>
<p>I"m now currently enrolled in the Revolution Prep (I know I heard some bad things about it, but hopefully the practice tests w/ proctor will teach me a thing or too).</p>
<p>Planning on taking the SAT multiple times, Sophmore/ Junior year and the ACT too.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Thanks CCers, aiming for approximately 2300.</p>
<p>ALSO: When you take the real SAT, do they give you back detailed results with what answers you got wrong like the practice tests?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>Sounds pretty similar to what I’m doing.</p>
<p>I’m being tutored privately by Princeton Review and I’ve been utilizing the blue book.</p>
<p>Don’t get your hopes up too high on the first try.</p>
<p>You can select to get back detailed results for a fee, as far as I’m aware. You just have to select the option upon registration.</p>
<p>It’s good that you’re starting early to prepare for the SATs, I wish I did the same. Although you received a grade which is technically above average for most juniors, well for most juniors in my state, you should evenly and slowly practice. Try to get a good amount of reading done over the summer and take the PSATs this October in your Sophomore year. After you receive your grade back, decide how far were you from your ideal score and start studying pertaining to that goal. As of right now, you should enjoy the first couple years of high school, join clubs, participate in some extracurricular activities, and take it in your Junior year. As for your last question, you can get a detailed report of how you did on the SATs if you pay an extra $12. I think it’s free with a fee waiver, but I wasn’t eligible so I wouldn’t know. Good luck to you, and I wish you the best of luck with your studies.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback guys. At least I know I’m in the right track…</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be brutal, but a 2300 needs a LOT of prep if you got a 1700 first try. I personally got a 2070 first try without any prep, and a 2300 is still a bit difficult. However, you seem to be doing a lot of work, and if you truly try hard, I doubt you won’t get it 
Definitely shows you’re on the right track, just by practicing.</p>
<p>^^ umm, he’s also a freshman, which means that his scores still have a lot of time to improve, especially after he has more upper level math and english courses under his belt.</p>
<p>preparement needs good preparation!</p>
<p>no, dont exhaust the blue book this early on, like read through the startegies and stuff and maybe take ONE test, but dont waste anymore of it untill junior year. Thats what happened to me, I used all the tests too early :[</p>
