October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>740 reading, 660 math, 730 writing (76 m/c, 8 essay)</p>

<p>2130 overall which is ok for my first time taking it, but I really need to get my math score up and write a better essay!! I’m taking the November SAT & my goal is a 2250 so fingers crossed!! xx</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>lol I know, right? It’s brutal.</p>

<p>March: 600 CR, 550 M, 570 W (-8, 6E) -> 1720
October: 650 CR, 610 M, 770 W (-2, 10E) -> 2030</p>

<p>I’m super happy about my increased score, but annoyed with my math score. In March, I misplaced my grid-in answers. In October, all my math sections were toward the end of the test, by which time I had developed a headache (and probably a fever, as I had one the night before) and thus I knew right after the test I had messed math up. Thing is, I know I can do better on Math (I got 680 on a practice test, and March would have been in that range but for my misplaced answers), but I don’t know if that’s enough reason to retake it. </p>

<p>Since I’m too indecisive to make up my mind, I want to hear some of your opinions. To give some other information, I’m not applying to any Ivys. For most school I’m looking at, my second score is on par or above their data. However, I’ve also always been a top math student, so I don’t know if 550 and 610 scores would be perceived poorly, and if they would significantly affect my ability to get math scholarships. </p>

<p>TIA.</p>

<p>That’s an amazing jump, dude! Be proud.</p>

<p>Hey just curious. I got 76 MC out of 80, and I was wondering how many questions I missed if I got a 760 with a 9 essay? Thanks!</p>

<p>@ Darth, you missed ~ 2 MC questions. -2 with 9E usually lands around 750-770.</p>

<p>Okay cool thank you!</p>

<p>i took a mock SAt without knowing what it really was and got 16XX
in otober i only got 2050 :frowning:
it is not good enough because of no preparation for writing…
hope i can got 22XX next time.</p>

<p>I was happy to break 2100 first time until I saw this thread lol</p>

<p>@xariel yeah i think you should retake it. are you a senior? a lot of colleges like to look at your math score depending on your major… since math is like application of concepts. i even read that some schools dont even take into accohnt your writing score, which for you and me (i got 800 but my other subjects were lacking), could be really detrimental. math is not that difficult to raise if you do a lot of practice and get a strategy going! we’re in the same boat- our writing scores are significantly higher than the other subjects’. i’m definitely taking it again to hopefully get 750+ in math. i know im capable of it and you know you are capable of a better score too so i say why not :)</p>

<p>How many MC on writing did I miss if I got 71 MC / 10 essay with a 730?</p>

<p>@heyhihello Yeah, I’m a senior. I was also thinking about the major aspect too, since I’d like to major in exercise science and/or neuroscience. Another alternative I’m considering is taking the SAT II Math II test, since I’m currently in AP Calc AB and it would require less of a time commitment to study for than another SAT test. But would that really matter or make my SAT I Math less significant? Additionally, I’ve already sent the above scores, and a 690 Chemistry SAT II, to three colleges, so they would see that I’ve taken the SAT three times if I send another report in December.</p>

<p>2050 - 690cr 710m 650w</p>

<p>Anyone else excited about the full score report’s release tomorrow? I look forward to reading the essay I wrote on test day.</p>

<p>I almost screamed when I saw my score. Holy. Crap.
800 CR 800 M 730 W :O</p>

<p>And my superscore is 800 CR 800 M 780 W. And CC had my confidence way down, I was suspecting I wouldn’t even cross 2300 on my superscore!</p>

<p>2100; 800 cr/680 m/620 w (8 essay) - first time, no studying</p>

<p>eh. going to retake in december. subject tests in four days. my writing score really stings - everyone i know says that i’m a good writer, but my score here really didn’t reflect that (though i’m not saying that the sat is a good indicator of writing skills). i was also stubborn and answered everything. congrats to everyone for the great scores!</p>

<p>2400 somehow lol
got a 10 on the essay, missed 0 MC.</p>

<p>HEYY GUYS. I’m new here and I really like this website, it’s awesome. Okay, my worries are Trig. I have no help in Trig and I need it. Proof? I got a 42 out of 100 on my test. Do you guys know any free Trig prep that is offered in any programss??</p>

<p>@imabelieva
you just posted in the oct <em>SAT</em> discussion thread asking for trig advice. I’m not sure if that’s the right place to do so.</p>
