<p>I took the SAT as a sophomore in June, without prep I might add, and got a 1900, specifically a 630CR, 610M, and 660W. Do you think I could get a 2100+ and if so are there any methods that you would suggest I use to study. Next year I’m taking AP CalcAB, AP English Lang, AP Env Sci, and a dual enrollment American History course, so I think that with those last 3 being a lot of reading and the like they should supplement my studying for CR throughout the year especially since they’re all about non-fiction readings. Also, do you think that I should just start studying now and take the SAT again asap or should I wait until June so a full year has passed since I took it. I, personally, feel like taking it again in October because otherwise it’d be around AP time to study and that’s something I’d rather not do. I have already purchased the Collegeboard SAT book and will begin using that to study.</p>
<p>I also get 1950 and can’t decide now whether I should retake.</p>
<p>I think I’m just gonna go for it and start studying now. I mean what’s really the point of waiting and I just feel like if I take it asap and get a better score I’ll be done with it so I can focus on school in general. </p>
<p>creamania: Look at the Xiggi Method and use that to study, that’s what I’m going to start doing around mid to late July so it’s closer to test time.</p>
<p>Seeing that you are taking AP Calc, you may want to consider taking the ACT because it is much more knowledge-based (vs SAT’s puzzles) and it tests trig which gives you an advantage because many test takers don’t know it well.</p>
<p>I used trig once on the PSAT - I used tan θ = m, where m = slope (as in y=mx+b) :D. </p>
<p>The problem involved finding the slope of a line that was 45° above the horizontal.</p>
<p>So tan θ = m </p>
<p>Therefore</p>
<p>tan 45° = 1 (use degree mode!) </p>
<p>In any case, sit down and study. I did for two weeks and my score has jumped quite a bit. </p>
