Dat Sat Doe

Tomorrow is the SAT. This is the second and final time I'll be taking it. I got around a 1800 first time I took it and since then have done nothing to study.
Is it possible for me to get at least a 2100? I'm excellent at cramming stuff (memorized about 500 vocab words in about 2 hours last SAT which helped tremendously)
I'll probably study for about 3 hours today.

[quote=hyperfire7]I'll be the cynical realist: No, it's very unlikely you'll jump 300 points by cramming in one night.
I'll give you tips though (in priority):
-Continue cramming in vocabs, this is the best way to economize what little time you have left.
-Read 5~10 current event articles on CNN/WashingtonPost/other credible news sites so you're better prepared for the essay section.
-Google & memorize common methods the SAT does to 'trick' you in the math section.
-Memorize basic grammar techniques commonly tested on SAT, again Google is your friend.

This should help probably boost your score by 100~150. Unfortunately 300 is too far of a stretch imo.

Good luck nevertheless.[/quote]

I will most definitely read the event articles (my writing section was the weakest; high 400's )
I got about a 600 on the reading and around a 700 on the Math so I most likely will put all my efforts into the writing section. (I'm terrible at them essays)

It's possible if you try.

Or if you're a genius, whichever one is you.

it's totally possible and good luck!

I took the ACT when I was in HS but the score change in SAT terms I got was a 1800ish to a 2100ish too
