<p>Sophomore PSAT:135 (31 CR,66 M,38 W)
Junior PSAT : 165(48CR ,58 M,59 W)
Junior May SAT :1780 (500 CR,680 M,600 M)
Practice test last week :2080 (620 CR,770 M,690 W)</p>

<p>Do you think i’ve reached my limit already…?How can I find out if 2080 is my limit…?
btw,I came to this country 3 yrs ago from China…so I dont know if the lack of english proficiency is going to impede my improvement…</p>

<p>noone has a limit. If you set your mind on it and if you really want it you can improve your english</p>

3

<p>did you know any English before you came to this country? </p>

<p>because your English score is way above average… and only 3 years…?</p>

4

<p>your room for improvement is very minute; from experience(same range of scores), I think you have pretty much maxed out, but keep working hard :). And remember, impossible is nothing.</p>

<p>I assume that you studied a lot since your last SAT, and probably read everything related to the English sections thoroughly. Of course, doing practice problems do help, but if your scores are fairly consistent now, such practice wouldn’t have much of an effect.</p>

<p>I suggest that you read frequently and widely. Find classics, magazines like the Economist, technical journals, whatever. Then come back to the practice tests, and very likely you’ll do better. :slight_smile: Worked for me. (Although I did this subconsciously.)</p>

<p>No, you didn’t.</p>

<p>i think that you can rapidly improve your CR score, like i managed to this summer.
i went from a 570 in CR to a 750-800.
i didnt waste time studying word list after word list, but i made sure that i knew the words that show up the MOST.
to do better on the passage based questions, i read. i read i read i read. for everyday, i read magazines like smithsonian, harper’s, and new yorker. they gave me the endurance to focus on the sat CR passages.
i’m sure there’s a lot of room for improvement in your scores, so just keep working hard ;]</p>

<p>From my experience, lack of English proficiency actually indicates that you have lots of space for improvement on the verbal sections.</p>
