<p>I messed up and got a 1670 on the Oct SAT. Through rigorous studying I’m predicting at least 2000 next time. How will this big change affect my application?</p>
<p>it will affect your application A LOTTT
i raised my scores from 1970 to 2180 and some schools that I thought i wouldn’t have a shot at became my target/match schools.
good luck!</p>
<p>A 2000 will make you a LOT more competitive to a wider variety of schools than a 1670, so if you manage that, it’ll do a lot for you.</p>
<p>If, like me, you’re worried about colleges thinking your huge jump is a fluke or something (my October 09 score is 280 points higher than my November 08 score), I don’t really know what to tell you, because I’m wondering about that too.</p>
<p>i don’t think they’ll think it is a fluke… they’ll think you guys worked & studied hardd. It’s a major feat…</p>
<p>Hopefully I can improve by that much, and then I’ll be happy : D</p>
<p>It’s not to common to improve more than 100-200 points.</p>
<p>Lmao, what about by 700 points?</p>
<p>haha i moved up over 400+ and get over 2300 now. know aloooottt of people who did the same.</p>
<p>It depends on “improve.” If you’re really at a 1670 intelligence level wise, then yes, it would be very difficult to get your score up to a 2000. But if I had swine flu and took the SAT for the first time and got a 400, it wouldn’t be too surprising if I took it again and got a 1950. </p>
<p>I got my SAT up 160 points from studying, good luck!</p>
