Post #17 is right. Top scores aren’t everything. Once you get past a certain threshold (somewhere around 2200) - your ECs, recommendations and essays are much more important than your numbers.



Well that’s not true in the least bit. I don’t suppose you have any evidence to back up this claim? No? Didn’t think so. This is a widespread fallacy among CC’ers, and if you’ll look at the admissions data published by various top universities you’ll see that the correlation between admit rates and SAT scores actually increases as scores near the tail of the curve.



Okay, thanks… any good books or news sites you’d recommend that can give kind of “generic” examples?



If you’re really shooting for a 2400 you should use the prep book Rocket Review. I highly recommend it. It focuses a lot more on test-taking strategies and how to apply the concepts you already know than the concepts themselves, which you should already been familiar with. It’s especially helpful for CR passages, and outlines how to get an easy 12 on the essay.



im gonna have to say that you’re delusional.

bumping up your score 220 points? trying to get a perfect score? dude, the only way to do that is through high intelligence, dilligent studying, and proper sacrifices to the test gods.



Well, maybe the OP IS delusion. You got somethin against delusional pplz? Hmm? Psh.

220 points (THE 220 points) is a substantial goal, but it’s definitely doable–and I am speaking from personal experience. I totally agree with the sacrifices to the test gods thing, though. El Ronhabird, the chief god, especially likes goats, so consider sacrificing a few of those.
