How much did YOU improve?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>The SATs are a little over two weeks away now. (Yikes!)</p>

<p>Where were you at (■■■■, it’s OK to use “at” here!!) when you started, and where are you now? How’d you get there? Did you read Dickens or the NY Times? Barron’s 2400 or Princeton Review (obvious :wink: )? </p>

<p>For me, I was scoring about 1950 when I started two months ago. I’m fluctuating between 2250-2350 right now. I’m strongest at Math, then WR MCQs, then CR, and finally essays. Improved vocabulary by combination of flashcards, CR practice, Barron’s vocab lists.</p>

<p>For the essay, I read Great Expectations and the Scarlet Letter (for examples).</p>

<p>So what about you guys?</p>

<p>-_- lol you’re getting 2300s and yikes sat should be the least you should be worried about right now lol. I, on the other hand, need quite a bit more improvement. Sophomore psat = 150~, 1st sat = 1810, practice tests now = 1950s (1850s-2050s). But I really need to maintain a solid 2000 mark before the next sat T.T.</p>

<p>*ps I read Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat. Contains a lot of sat vocabs</p>

<p>1800 (M 640 W 580 R 580) to 2200~2230 (M 800 W 730~740 R 670~690), now aiming for at least 2270 (M 800 W 750 R 720).</p>

4

<p>Well, to be honest, I only got 2300s in ONE practice test. :smiley: </p>

<p>2200s in all others.</p>

<p>^Are you using QAS?</p>

6

<p>1960 with no studying in Dec 07. My last two practice tests (QAS) I got 2200 and 2250. I think I can peak at 2350 (800M, 800W, 750CR).</p>

7

<p>No, I don’t have any QAS. :(</p>

<p>I’m using Barron’s and CB. Get about 50 points higher in CB than Barron’s.</p>

May SAT - M 710, Cr 550, W 540 = 1800 (still lower than i expected,i was expecting 1900ish, this is the prob with using non cb materials, scores sucked, dream broke =S)

<p>I went from an 1850 in may to a 1940 in june… not much an improvement but I only had a month in between. I’m definately hoping for a 2050 plus in october.</p>

11

<p>i got a 1490 on a practice exam on march. this is the first one im going to take so im hoping for at least a 1800+ (i havent done so much studying but im getting to it. thank god for a break from now till the SAT date haha)</p>

12

<p>I improved from an 1150 to scoring regular 2400s on my QAS</p>
