I don't understand

Test Preparation
1

<p>I keep seeing people who have amazing SAT scores like 2250+ and I don’t understand how they do this. I am a pretty bright student and I am stuck in the 1600s range. I don’t get if I’m missing something really important for prep or what… I’ve heard about the Ziggi method, but is that really gonna do that big of a help? I don’t understand it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks</p>

<p>Please use the search function- you will find all the information you need. Now, whether the “Ziggi” method is going to be a big help, it can be. That’s like asking if reading the first ten pages of the bible will make you a devout christian- You need to find your self some SAT books and stick to a strict study regime if you want that 1600 to go up.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I have like 5 different books, and i’m reading all of them as much as I can. Maybe i’m not putting enough time into it.
How much time did other people spend on their scores to get up that high</p>

<p>Hours of studying and SAT score is not a direct relationship, if it were then the SAT would be so much easier. Read through whatever books you have, learn the strategies, etc. Then take a test from the Official College board SAT Study Guide (blue book). Thoroughly look through your wrong answers, why did you get them wrong, learn them , and make sure you can answer them on future tests. It helps to make a chart of the types of questions your getting wrong so you no what to study. </p>

<p>You have to practice, practice, practice.</p>

<p>Okay. Just wondering, do you think there is any hope I can get up a 2200? i know it’s a stretch, but it’s my goal</p>

<p>Well I really can’t say, but its definitely possible.</p>

<p>okay, yeah i understand.
really really random, what is the average SAT for Columbia? The College, not the engeneering program</p>

<p>Any hope? Not if you keep asking stupid questions. The average SAT for Columbia is on the CB website- Colleges don’t grant admission solely based off standardized test score, meet their range and you’ve passed the first round.</p>
