Score Increases

Test Preparation
1

<p>What was the maximum score increase for those who scored at or around 2000 at their first sitting for the SAT Reasoning Test?</p>

2

<p>i took the kaplan course tests and scored 2000’s…supposedly they were the most accurate.</p>

<p>i got a 1870</p>

<p>I’ll tell you where they can stick their practice tests…</p>

<p>My friend got a 2200 the first time she took it in March with minimal studying.</p>

<p>She only increased by 10 points on the May SAT, and she studied A LOT MORE for that…</p>

4

<p>Went from 2090 to 2250
Studyed alot for first one with minimal studying for second…wierd how it worked out</p>

5

<p>March - 1950
May - 2100</p>

<p>150 point increase in Writing, 10 point increase in CR, 10 point decrease in Math</p>

<p>I really studied the grammar stuff.</p>

<p>I didn’t study at all for the first one and got 2030 in November, then studied for a few weeks and got 2210 in May so for me it was most def worth it.</p>

<p>Space Ranger, I agree, Kaplan is way too easy.</p>

<p>My first time:</p>

<p>660 verbal
690 math
630 writing</p>

<p>My second time:</p>

<p>780 verbal
750 math
730 writing</p>

<p>I took Kaplan, got 2110 as my highest score on the practice tests. The rest were 1870, 1940, and something in the low 2000’s.</p>

<p>I took the May SAT (1st time) and got a 2230. I regularly scored 12’s on essays in Kaplan and got an 11 on the actual exam. </p>

<p>Call me perfectionist but I think one of the essay graders is a bit stupid for not giving me a 6 since I wrote an amazing essay (Vanderbilt university and The Matrix used as examples for materialism essay).</p>

<p>If I got a 12 on the essay, I would have had 800 rather than 780 on writing. Oh well.</p>

<ol>
<li>Kaplan is not really worth the money</li>
<li>It is meant for lazy kids (whether they’re smart like me or not)</li>
<li>I didn’t really prepare for the SAT at all except for in-class prep with Kaplan (I never even did the Kaplan HW)</li>
<li>I think a prep class is a great motivational tool to study and practice if you have the money (like me)</li>

<p>I think the Kaplan’s BOOK isn’t even worth the money, much less the course.</p>
