<p>I think I hit the wall when taking my practice tests. First time I got a 1690 the second time I got a 1950, and I have been doing practice tests for the upcoming SAT score and I am scoring at or just 10 higher of total my second sitting score of 1950 is it just me or is there really a point where you cannot improve anymore? My goal has been to break the 2000+ barrier but I haven’t been able to do so for the past couple months. I just have been doing practice tests and I haven’t been reading vocabulary, strategies etc. Could this be a reason why? </p>
<p>we are all facing the same problem, isnt it? someone starts from 1800 and gets stuck at 2000. someone starts at 1500 and after doing a certain number of p.tests gets stuck on 1800 mark. thats what makes SAT different from your usual physics test. </p>
<p>No, you have to identify your weaknesses and avoid making the same mistakes. If you avoid studying vocabulary then obviously there’s not much room for improvement in SC.</p>
<p>If you can possibly identify your specific weaknesses, I would greatly encourage that you do so. Inevitably, though, there will come a point at which your score essentially plateaus despite your greatest efforts. (This is usually evident after a certain number of practice tests.)</p>
<p>The only point in which you can’t improve anymore is when you consitently score 2400. </p>
<p>But in reality there is only so much time to study and practice, so you will hit a few sticking points. My main suggestion would be to identify you weakpoints as mifune and Mike just said, and take some time off to study the actual material being tested. Learn all the relevant grammar rules (punctuation, parallelism, modifiers, gerunds, etc.), study vocab, learn to apply mathematical principals to abstract problems, and be able to quickly read, comprehend, and summarize complex articles.</p>
<p>By learning everything the SAT tests, one should be able to score ~700 in each section. The rest should really come down to luck, timing, and general test-taking skills.</p>
