I am taking SAT tutoring, but they gave me a practice SAT test to see where I am at. Before any tutoring, I received a 1450. Is that okay for how much time I have to improve and get tutoring? (test is in May)

I registered to take two sat subject tests: biology and math level 1 on june 6th. I am a junior in high school. SOme of the colleges I am interested in require 3 sat subject tests so i will take another in october or november. One of the colleges I am interested in doesn’t accept math level 1 so I was thinking of switching to math level 2. Online at collegeboard it says that changing the test type will require a fee of . But i have read that you can change the test you take on the say of the test and you don’t have to pay the fee since they give you a booklet with all the SAT II’s in it and you just pick the ones you want? Does it matter which one’s I registered for? I am definitely taking the one for bio in june?

I’ll be taking the SAT soon in around 4 months from now. I was wondering what is better? Should i enroll in courses or just study by the book. The price for the courses or books doesnt matter. If the course is better than studying by the book, then would it be Kaplan or Princeton? The same question also goes for the books as well.

There are 4 types available to me; basic, scientific, graphic and CAS (Computer algebra system). I usually use a graphics calculator and while running through a couple of practice SAT tests, I found that my calculator could do half the questions without me having to think and waste time. So I thought there must be a restriction on types of calculators you can use. Can anyone verify this?

I’m going to buy a book to study the SAT and I don’t know which one to buy.
It’s between:
The Official SAT Study Guide by The College Board

Cracking the SAT, 2009 Edition (College Test Prep) by Princeton Review

and

Barron’s SAT 2400: Aiming for the Perfect Score by Linda Carnevale M.A. and Roselyn Teukolsky M.S.

Have you had bought any of these? Did they help? How much did it improve your SAT score?

I would greatly appreciate your response.

i scored a 1590 on the SAT the first time i took it. Im taking it again in OCT and i plan on studying my butt off for it so that i can get into my dream school. I want to improve my score by 350-400 points. Is it likely that i can increase it because my score was so low to begin with?? i took a practice sat test a while ago and made somewhere in the 1400’s and i didnt study for that. The last SAT i took i studied only a little and gained like 100+ points. I’m seriously going to study HARD for this next SAT so i can get a MUCH better score! Do you think it’s possible?

I am currently living in Canada.
I have decent grades (91% average in the first term of 11th grade).
Should I work through all the US preparations (SAT’s) or just go to a Canadian school, a much cheaper and easier process?
Is the prestige of American schools really worth the price and effort?
Maybe I should just finish undergraduate studies here in Canada, then transfer to a prestigious institution?
I need to decide on this soon.
Please provide any advice or useful websites or other information sources. Thank you!

I understand it’s out of 1600. Math and English are the two main sections. Should I be doing research on American history, geography etc?

Ok so earlier today i took a practice SAT test online, and my scores were
Write- 540
Critical Reading- 480
Mathematics- 400

Bringing my total score to- 1420

I was wondering if those scores were good or not?…. Are they good, bad, average. I took it without studying, cause i don’t have any study material yet, and i’m planning on taking the real one in a few months. I know that if i study i can bring the score up, but i still don’t know if my score now is ok, i’m just wondering.

If anyone knows i would appreciate it Thanks!!

I took the SAT test this October and I felt horrible. I searched online and found that if I cancel my SAT score, there will be a notice that I took the October test and then canceled my score. Since many ivy league colleges not recommend students to take SAT more than three times. Do you think colleges will count my October test as once even if I canceled my score?
