<p>How possible/realistic is it for a person to hit their target score or more on their first try? I heard it’s always best to do two and far more likely you’d do better on the second. I really don’t wanna make a career out of doing the SAT, just would like to do it once and reach my aim (which is 2100+), but don’t know how doable this is?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Only you can answer that question. If you haven’t done so already take a timed practice SAT from the Blue Book. The only section you can’t self grade is the essay. Assume an average score of 8-9 for that. How far off from your 2100 goal are you?</p>
<p>You’d be surprised.</p>
<p>I did much (MUCH) better than I though I would on my first try, around 150 points or so. </p>
<p>Point is, the amount of concentration and determination you get while taking the actual SAT makes the difference. (At least it did for me.)</p>
<p>Take matters into your own hands.</p>
