HOW do people get a GOOD SCORE ON THE SAT???

YOU DON’T NEED A 1500 TO GET INTO THE BEST SCHOOL. Focus on other elements of your application, you are clearly showing admissions people that you can succeed in an academic environment and do well at their school. My friend was admitted as an undergrad to NYU with a similar GPA and a 1240 SAT. It’s definitely possible, and I would say more so for a transfer student. Don’t lose sleep over a test. I found that the more relaxed I was when I took the ACT, the more I improved-- even with less practice! I suggest just focusing on the sections that give you trouble, take a lot of practices while you still can, and take the test with less pressure on yourself. It’s going to be fine I promise. Sleep better, drink some tea, do some SAT sections, and stop comparing yourself to people literally in the 98th percentile. College Confidential is not the place to be if you are trying to find average people. Good luck!
