<p>I will be a sophomore this Sept. and I am looking for and grade to get me into an Ivy. When and How should i begin to prepare?</p>
<p>Go online to collegeboard and take the free practice test, and see what your strengths and weaknesses are. I don’t think you really need to start study intensively until the end of your sophomore year, but you could start studying vocab now and make sure you understand all the material up to and including Algebra 2. </p>
<p>The best resources are the practice tests in the CB Blue Book, and Direct Hits for the vocab. </p>
<p>If you’re aiming for Ivies, you should be aiming for a score of 2250+</p>
