Improving SAT Score over the summer

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I am a rising senior who is looking to improve his SAT score for the October test date. Currently I have a 2230 superscore (which i know isn’t terrible) but i really think i can get a 2300+. This would be my third time taking the SAT (is this one too many times?), and have gotten a 12 on the essay on the previous 2 administrations. Basically, I am looking to improve my writing score to close to an 800 and get my CR to 750+. Does anybody know how i can reach these goals by October since i am trying to get into Duke ED and a 2300 seems like it would really improve my chances. </p>

<p>other Schools I am applying to include Vanderbilt, Emory, Wake Forest, UConn (In State), Michigan (OOS), Northwestern, WUSTL, UVA (OOS), and Rice. Would my 2230 SAT be competitive for these schools incase i am not able to improve?</p>

<p>For the second half of your post, look at your favorite colleges’ middle 50% score ranges on college board. You should be at least in the middle, preferably at the top, to be competitive.</p>

<p>Haha I’m in the same boat! Took the test twice with a 2230 superscore. Taking again in October for a 2300+. Being above the 75%tile is generally competative, especially if you are white/asian with no hooks.</p>
