WOOOOOOOH 1500+ IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE (you can get that score trust me)

• Upvotes

Hey guys, IDK why I can't find the test score, but I started out at 1240... I thank god for the miracle he bestowed upon me to get a 1560. This is a page I've been stalking for a long time, and I kinda sorta have been dreaming of the day I'd get to make one of these posts too, but I am a bit busy right now, so I won't give out all my advice as I am typing this. If you guys want any tips, please feel free to ask; it's practically the only reason I posted this haha.

Do not base your SAT score entirely on the practice tests

Everyone kept saying that practice tests determine your score -50 points, but I only took 4 of them and got a 1510 with a perfect math on the first SAT try. This is your sign to not give up based on what you have on practice.

Took the test every month for eight times now and literally the most that I got was 1290 and I don’t know why because every time I tried so hard and I thought I did good. It was never enough like I was so confidence in the math sections all the time and it just worse and worse. Sometimes I even thought that they graded the wrong person. Can somebody please help me I tried everything everyone every strategies literally nothing works, bro.

Part of me feels a little bit bitter. I applied to mostly all safety schools and it's too late for many if I wanted to actually apply to some that are more suited to what I really like, given their scholarships. I didn't think my score would have been this good, given on the ACT I got a 25 with an exceptionally higher math 31. At least I'll still be able to hopefully get into the honors colleges I want. :D

Thank you, to this subreddit, for all of the resources I've gotten to really power through this. Sometimes it's not always about the destination. It's the chase. We're all working hard to do well and sometimes that includes getting into the top programs in the state.

If you guys need advice, I can give you some.

Is a month and 10 days of 4 hour study sessions everyday enough for a score above 1500?

Is it normal that practice test 11 felt less difficult than other practice tests for me?

• Upvotes

I was getting low to mid 1300s on other practice tests (4,5,6) and got a 1460 on practice test 11. Im not saying that test 11 was like easy, but the other practice tests felt much more difficult than test 11. Can someone please explain to me why I might feel this way 😭🙏

Should I retake?

• Upvotes

I am a junior and I’ve taken 3 SATs so far. I took August September and October back to back to back. I got 680 reading and 790 math in August 700 reading and 770 math in September and 710 reading and 790 math in October. I have a 1500 right now and I’m debating on whether to take November or stop. I feel a bit of SAT fatigue, but since I am a junior I feel like I have enough time to retake. Idk if I should or just keep a 1500 or do another attempt.

I'm in class 9th from India, hadn't done any practice whatsoever. Keep in mind that this was practice test 4, presumably the easiest one.

Whats the easiest of these topics to improve?

1 Upvotes

On the most recent bluebook test I took(PT-10) I got 1260, 630M,630 R&W. Honestly, I feel I could get atleast a 730 on math as I made alot of silly errors. The last PT I took, was PT-11 and i got a 1420 - 730M 690 R&W.
From the screenshot, which of these topics is the easiest to improve ( This is from the 1260 test)

Also, does 1500 look possible by november?

I have practiced easy and medium level of reading and writing section form the official college board question bank

Also I have checked and learned from my mistakes

But when I switched to hard level the questions feel impossible. Especially form information and ideas and craft and structure

I am still constantly scoring around 650 in reading and writing.

What should of do? Please help🥲
