<p>I am confused about the Math score. I assumed 770 was -1, 740 was -2. But Pramam0 posted he got a 790 on Math. Could that be right? Silverturtle, ideas?</p>
<p>Heās lying.</p>
<p>thanks, i wondered !!!</p>
<p>omg people need to stop crying when they get 2300ā¦ its so conceited</p>
<p>How is that in any way conceited?</p>
<p>congrats on the amazing SAT scores everyone!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For CR, my preparation consisted of the following:
[ul]
[<em>]Three Blue Book practice tests at reduced time (~13-15 time limit for each 25-minute CR section)
[</em>]Direct Hits Vocabulary
[/ul]</p>
<p>what was your CR method. How did you approach the passage questions?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry, I have to go to a Mock Trial event now (for which I am somewhat late). Iāll try to type up something later.</p>
<p>no problem.</p>
<p>1st time taking it as junior w/ expensive test prep and still did badā¦???</p>
<p>M: 740
W: 660 essay 10
CR: 560??
total: 1960?!?
any helpful tips on how to study/ improve?
apparently my test prep course didnāt help and when i took practice tests there, i got like 2140-2200 but on the real one 1960?!?!? please help if you have any ideas. thanks!
silverturtle any tips?</p>
<p>First time as a junior</p>
<p>CR: 600
M: 670
W: 690 with 11 essay
Total: 1960</p>
<p>I was hoping to break 2000 but I guess 1960 is ok for my first time =.</p>
<p>CR: 630
M: 660 lulz
W: 790 (75/11)
Total: 2080</p>
<p>First time as a junior with no prep. I donāt know, I expected more, but I guess I need to study next time -_-</p>
<p>OK so my score got delayed and i called collegeboard. the person told me that my answer sheet was going through some exceptional scoring system. the person did not have any detailed information but she thought that random tests were picked for this. Also if my test was somehow canceled by a proctor, I would have received an email right?</p>
<p>CR: 800
M: 800
W: 750 (fail!)
Total: 2350
wow, so many 2400s!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wouldnāt recommend this for the average person. I tried to do that too, only to find myself skimming and assuming, not thinking deeply about the questions and eliminating wrong answers. In the end, it just taught me how to do the test lazily and without effort, not necessarily faster, and definitely not better.</p>
<p>I am definitely not the fastest CritRead tester; I take my time. Yet I didnāt have a problem with running out of time on the test. On the contrary, I went even faster during the real SAT out of nerves. With the time remaining, I checked my work extremely well to the point that I donāt think I missed a single CritRead question on the January SAT.</p>
<p>I got a 2400, and so did silverturtle. It may sound scandalous to contradict silverturtle, but I think that that method of constricting yourself is not healthy, ESPECIALLY not by almost half the time.</p>
<p>this is late, but - </p>
<p>2360!
790 reading
770 math
800 writing</p>
<p>Iām thrilled! Itās not the 2400 that so many people here seem to aspire to, but itās pretty damn close! This was my first SAT, and Iām not retaking - so Iām happy.</p>
<p>I have the mirror image of your score, eldunari.</p>
<p>CR: 750
M: 800
W: 800 (Essay: 12)</p>
<p>I heard that several colleges donāt really care about writing scores, so I would have much preferred 800 on critical readingā¦ Somehow, I always do quite well with grammar and writing. (I have a tendency of inferring some weird things from the text <em>sigh</em>)</p>
<p>Apparently, a lot of colleges are adopting ātop scores on each sectionā policy on SAT. Should I take SAT again sometime?</p>
<p>In any case, congrats to several people with 2400!</p>
<p>Yeah, driftwood, Iām in the same boat (ha). This was my first time taking the SAT, although Iāve taken the PSATs twice, and Iām definitely going to stick with my 2360 and move on to the subject tests. I was worried at first that people who score-choiced a better score than me would get more ācreditā in the eyes of the adcoms, but after a little research I found that many of the top schools (including my current favorite, Yale) require all test scores. I would imagine that taking the SAT only once and getting a 2360 reads better than a score-choiced 2380, compiled from 2-3 different tests. At least, thatās my take on it.</p>
<p>I would think so as wellā¦and a 2360 is really good, not to toot my own horn or anything! I was expecting more like a 2200, because my math scores on practices had been significantly lower, so I was pleasantly surprised. Iām DEFINITELY sticking with it. Congrats!</p>
