I’m a high 80 avg student. I was wondering if it is possible for me to get an 1800 without taking Kaplan/Princeton etc. SAT prep courses. Is it possible for me to get around an 1700-1800 studying with only SAT books at home?
Well as of today ( 8/26 ) I’m a junior in high school which is a important time for making the grade. In my 10th grade year I had a major fall out with all my classes during the second semester, and now my family believes that I’m incapable of getting a B or better In my US History Honors class. I do plan on attending college after High School and believe that if I pull it together and get a B or better in this course I will still have a chance of getting into a 4-year university. ( Of course I have done tremendous amount of community service, and participate in competitions, as well as take on a leadership roll in my black student union) And with all the prep courses I’m taking for SAT’s I’m hoping that my scores will be outstanding. So when It comes down to it should I back out of a class that will prepare me for what’s next, even though my G.P.A is not in the best condition?
I am taking the SAT in 3 weeks and I want to know some tips for studying without the prep courses.
How do I get really good at essays?
I got a 1700 on my psat with no preperation and not much effort when I actually took the test. I am a sophomore now and I’m taking my SAT’s next year. If I take SAT prep courses twice a week and do some practice tests, what do you think my SAT score will most likely be if I take it 2 or 3 times?
I plan on taking both the ACT and SAT but I am trying to decide which one to take a prep course on. Prep courses are expensive so I am trying to figure out what would be the most worthwhile to prep for. Any tips/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
please provide some reasons on why you think I should prep for the act or sat
I’m in 11th grade. I wish to take the SAT and two SAT subject tests. Correct me if im wrong but I wish to take the PSAT soon in october, then begin to take SAT prep courses that will finish by the end of october, so then i’ll take the SAT in the following November or maybe even June. I’ll also take the two SAT II subject tests in June.
am i on the right track? please correct me if im wrong.
I haven’t taken any prep courses or even opened the practice booklet. I didn’t take the PSAT because earlier in the year I was not doing my best and I thought I was just going to go to community college and I was kinda like "F" this. But now I am taking the SAT and I haven’t been taking it seriously. I’m just so unsure of what I’m doing after high school and I wasn’t thinking about SAT scores. I’m just scared that I will be overwhelmed. I do care about it, but it’s kinda too late huh?
Ok, im in tenth grade and am taking the SAT in about 2-3 weeks. Besides sat prep courses what should I do? Especially for critical reading.
Okay, I took a practice test and my scores were (the test was timed strictly and I took exactly 2 breaks)
Reading: 580
Math: 560
Writing: 610
Essay: 10 out of 12
(I took the free one from collegeboard).
I would certainly love to get an 1800 or above on the SAT this Saturday. Possibly a 600 or above on math and reading (I have done so on past practice tests).
Here are my questions
1. What can I do between now and Saturday to give my scores the final boost? (I have done a lot of work over the summer, took no prep courses and did not hire a tutor, I made a 1470 on my March SAT)
2. Should I just relax and keep calm the coming days or should I aggressively review SAT material?
