<p>Hey guys, in all my SAT training it seems I’ve reached a major hump. I’ve been taking a lot of practice tests and my scores are stuck between 2270-2290. These tests are official CB tests, but i’m aiming for 2350+ and I’m taking the Dec. 1 test next week O_o. Any suggestions? Do you believe that once you reach a certain point you can’t really improve, cause I’ve taken at least 16-17 CB tests and my score is not changing. I go through all the questions I get wrong and makes notes on why I got it wrong. Is there something wrong with my methodology or do you think this is the last indefatigable SAT hump that can not be conquered? </p>
<p>a 2290 is incredible I would just relax and realize the difference between 2290 and 2350 just “sounds” better. your “hump” is nothing to be upset about . I understand wanting to strive for better but I have a feeling you are going to be jussst fine in almost any admissions process . Best of luck to you and congrats on your amazing sat scores!</p>
<p>hey bcuse, thanks for the advice, but my ultimate aim was to surpass a 2350. I am in no way saying 2290 is a bad score, but I tried to set a personal goal at 2350. I would like to inquire whether such a goal is too idealistic, given where I am right now.</p>
<p>I think you’re at a great range right now, and I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure there’s not that great a difference between a 2290 and a 2300. It’s a matter of a couple of questions. You can probably still get into any university with a score like that. Don’t consider it hump; it’s more of a blessing because a lot of people would kill for a score like that.</p>
<p>The difference between a 2290 and a 2350 may frankly be the difference between having a good day vs having a decent day…(e.g: Your mom made you a better breakfast then usual). A score of 2290 indicates the potential to score around 2350+ on a given day, especially if one has a glaring weakness on a section (690, 800, 800).</p>
<p>hey guys thanks for the advice, I know a 2290 is good, i mean im fluctuating in that range t of 2260-2290, idk if at this stage improvement is possible. It seems im consistently missing 2 questions in WR, and 4-5 CR and 1 in math. @Loncria I suppose my weakness would be CR, im pretty strong in SC but get messed up on the passages. Like has anyone ever been stuck at a point like this before?</p>
My suggestion is that you should listen to bcuse911 *et al. *and stop fixating on 2350.</p>
<p>There is no college or university in the country at which you’d be uncompetitive with a 2290, or even a 2270. And the colleges and universities where you really need a very high SAT score won’t care about the difference between the scores you’re getting on practice tests and the score you want.</p>
<p>Take the SAT. Do well. Then move on. This 2350 thing is all in your head.</p>
