<p>A little about me before I took the test- high school drop out got my GED, IQs in the 130 range on a full nights sleep, took a semester at a community college (will be going to USM next semester though yay), only studied the day before the test, studied algebra 2 material for the the math section (no geometry or algebra 1), slept for 3 hours before the test</p>
<p>I was completely at a loss for most of the math section as it was material I had covered back in 03/04</p>
<p>Thought I had 50 minutes to do the essay section… I had my 5 paragraphs all planned out… As I was getting done with the second I heard the teacher say (5 minutes left) I was like “oh ****” and scribbled in a third paragraph that didn’t reach the second page… got a 6 out of 12 (So I lost roughly 120 points on that as opposed to a 12 out of 12)</p>
<p>I got a 660 on the reading (what I thought before the test I would bomb)</p>
<p>480 on the math</p>
<p>550 on the writing</p>
<p>Think if I actually studied I could get my score into the 2000 range for the next test? Keep in mind I’ll have a full college semester of general education courses under my belt</p>
<p>lol nevermind… I forgot what kind of stigma dropping out is… I don’t know why I’m being self conscious anyway, I know I’ll be able to</p>
<p>A straight deviation conversion from IQ 135 -> SAT would suggest a baseline score of around 2000. Of course, as you seem to have realized, the SAT isn’t an IQ test (though it does help a lot to have a nice fat one). You need to study the test and it’s good to have at least a faint idea of where you are and what’s happening on test day.</p>
<p>If the 1690, which you got, is in fact what you are capable of as a baseline (if the three hours of sleep, etc didn’t really make an impact, which they probably did) it would be very tough, but very possible to get 2000+</p>
<p>If we assume your baseline to be around 1800 (after you get some shuteye and right a decent essay) then you’d probably be able to expect a 2000+ if you studied a lot.</p>
<p>yeaahhh… Idk writing is my strongest area academically I feel if I actually executed the entire essay I would have gotten a 12 out of 12 </p>
<p>then with the sleep thing that hurts comprehension, but with me in particular it hurts it drastically</p>
<p>so on a good day I probably would be around 1800-1850 just because a 12 on the essay alone would have put me at 1810</p>
<p>did no relative studying (studied quadratic functions and polynomials and all that) and math this the only subject that takes real studying… so I figure if I could jack the math score up to like 650-700 I’d be good</p>
