<p>I an a senior and have taken the SAT three times
first: 1800 CR(590) M(590) W(620)
second: 1830 CR(560) M(650) W(620)
third: 1840 CR(620) M(610) W(610)
SAT subjects: world history (700) Math II (600)
i am a much better student than my sat scores
i have had or currently enrolled in 9 AP classes
never gotten a B except Physics Honors in junior year
lots of extracurricular activities including science fair competitions, math league, FBLA, NHS, lots of tutoring<br>
i can succeed but the sat is holding me back. there’s something about the sat that stumps me
I’m wondering if i should take it a fourth time
i want to go to upenn, cornell, or princeton but my sat scores are not good enough. so if i do not take it i won’t get in with my scores
i’m freaking out.
if i should take it again, how do you suggest i get out of the 1800s and into at least the 1900s or preferably the 2000s
i don’t know what to do i have tried every possible way of studying for the sat
i only have one more chance at the sat in December</p>
<p>don’t worry too much about your SATs there are some great schools that are SAT-optional eg Hamilton College in NY. so that’s always an option.</p>
<p>One piece of advice that has been invaluable to me in my SAT prep is that in order to change your SAT score you have to change the way you take the test. Apart from some admittedly college-level vocabulary, and reviewing some grammar and math you’ve already covered in school, there aren’t a whole lot of facts or formulas you need to know for the SAT. </p>
<p>So the only way to raise your SAT score is to change the way you take the test. And if you want to change your SAT score a lot, you have to change the way you take the test—a lot.</p>
