<p>I’m a junior who is signed up for SAT I in March. I’ve taken PSATs twice, done one practice SAT on my own, and done one practice SAT with the Princeton Review at a community location (which was scored by real test scoring people). I was wondering if you could look at my scores, and tell me what you think is an attainable score for my SAT reasoning in March and why you think so? I plan on doing about 3-7 more practice test before the real thing, depending on how much time I have. </p>
<p>2009 PSAT
-math 610
-reading 540
-writing 610</p>
<p>2010 PSAT
-math 670
-reading 630
-writing 670</p>
<p>2011 practice test at home
-math 630
-reading 710
-writing 710</p>
<p>2011 official Princeton Review practice test
-math 610
-reading 680
-writing 700 (730 without the essay, which was terrible)</p>
<p>I think my math scores have been getting lower because I am taking AP Calculus AB this year, and the farther into it I get, the farther away I get from simple algebra and geometry. Does this sound like a reasonable interpretation do you think?</p>
<p>When trying to determine where you are, stick with real tests, which in your case means the 2010 PSAT, and the test you took at home, if it was an actual SAT (for example, one of the first three tests in the blue book).</p>
<p>I think it would be pretty reasonable for you to score close to 700 for all three sections. Review the basic math topics that the SAT loves but which you may not get a lot of in calculus (integer properties etc).</p>
<p>Dude, I don’t think, you’ve signed up for March, it’s not possible.</p>
<p>I Don’t think you’ve signed up*</p>

Sorry, but this sounds very dubious. By “real test scoring people” do you mean the ETS? The people who handle scantron machines? eh…</p>

<p>I highly recommend using Collegeboard tests only. No Princeton Review, as it will definitely not predict your score as accurately.</p>
<p>If I assume you learn about the same pace as I do, and steadily practice every day (following the Xiggi method), by March your score should be in the 2200-2300 range. (I studied for ~2 months before October SAT and scored 2210). </p>
<p>Then again, you could be a better/worse learner than I, so I can’t actually “project” your score.</p>
<p>It was a practice test sponsored by the Princeton Review that was offered at my local library to high schoolers. We had to sign up for it in advance. I had assumed it was going to be Collegeboard, but learned when I got there it wasn’t. Today (1 week later) we got our scores and had to go to a 2 hour session with a person from Princeton Review, who gave us tips on interpreting our scores and how to do better.</p>
<p>And yes, I mean ETS.</p>
<p>And my at-home test was a 2010 Collegeboard practice test.</p>
<p>“Dude, I don’t think, you’ve signed up for March, it’s not possible.”</p>
<p>what do you mean by that?</p>
<p>If you take 10 - 15 math sections you could probably raise your math to the 680 - 720 range. </p>
<p>I predict you can probably get around a 2200 if you study 2-3 hours during the week and 2-3 hours on the weekends.</p>
