<p>Just wanted to see if there’s any correlation between money spent and test scores. Cost should include registration and all preparation materials.</p>
<p>My cost was roughly $200, which includes 3 SAT prep books (Reasoning, Math II and Physics), 2 SAT Reasoning tests and 1 SAT Subject test sitting (all have additional international fees V_V), plus one Question and Answer Service</p>
<p>Superscores:
Math: 800
Reading: 750
Writing: 730
Math II: 800
Physics: 780</p>
<p>What exactly is a superscore? How do you do that?</p>
<p>A superscore is the best score of each section. For example, my two testing results were 800M/690CR/670W and 770M/750CR/730W. Thus, my superscore combines the best results of these two tests, 800M/750CR/730W</p>
<p>Oh, okay. Thanks for helping me understand hoonose. Also, how do did you do so well on the SAT? Just general knowledge stored in your cerebrum or did you prep up for it?</p>
<p>SAT I:</p>
<p>CR: 790
Math: 730
Writing: 670
Money spent: 0$</p>
<p>SAT II
Physics: 760
World History: 780</p>
<p>Spent abut 60-70$. I bought three books, two for physics and one for world history.</p>
<p>superscored:
reading: 800
math: 690
writing: 700</p>
<p>german w/ listening: 670
us history: 720
math I: 660</p>
<p>my only cost was registration fees, which was 2 regular sat’s and 3 subject tests, so whatever that adds up to.</p>
<p>First time, SAT I:
CR: 760
M: 700
W: 790
Cost: ~$600 -.-;; (includes registration fee, review books, tutor for about 6 hours…)</p>
<p>Second Time, SAT I (about one year later):
CR: 800
M: 750
W: 800
Cost: ~$43 Registration Fee</p>
<p>SAT II/Subject:
Math II: 800
Lit: 800
U.S. History: 770
Cost: ~$40 Registration Fee</p>
<p>Blahhh…seems to be a negative correlation for me…
xP</p>
<p>My best was 2400 SATI, and 4800 SAT I+II, the cost was minimal - just a bunch of study books. probably topped out around 200 bucks for the sat i and subject tests. i don’t think you’ll find much correlation, because there are students getting great scores because they took classes that helped them, and students who could have gotten high scores with practically no preparation or perhaps with just a few days of study from a prep book.</p>
<p>Haha, patel, you should really be asking that question to these other people here. Anyways, the math tests came naturally to me, no real studying there. However, the reading and writing I practiced a fair bit, especially for the essay itself. I wrote about 5-10 essays during the week before the test and ended up getting an 11 on the essay. A high essay score really helps your writing score.</p>
<p>First Sat: 43$ to register
Second Sat: 43$ registration, 100$ math prep class (no help whatsoever-the guy couldnt teach to save his life), 300$ worth of books
Third Sat: 80$ registration plus late fee, 30$ for 3 additional score reports, 20$ princeton book
Cr-630
M-780
W-610</p>
<p>My score went up in each section each time however. I went from a 60th percentile to a 96th percentile.</p>
