Question

As a sophomore entering my junior year, what should I be getting on the SAT now, if I want a 2200/2300 later?

Answer 1

that's funny, i'm a senior and still haven't taken the SATs.

Answer 2

It should be fairly easy for you since you know it...I think. I made 1270 on it in the 7th grade. (By the way, I'm going to be a freshman next year.) Just try to do your best...Its not as hard as people make it out to be.

Answer 3

You don't take it unto you enter college.

Answer 4

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it if you haven't even taken the test yet.  Just do you absolute best and then see where you stand.  You shouldn't really expect too much change in your score, anyway.  Mine went up ~200points the second time I took it, and I thought that was a lot.  But for now, just roll with it.

Answer 5

Eh, ACT is all I am used to. But, I come from the highest performing highschool in the country for ACT scores. Ha I like 32 average.

Answer 6

Okay. For starter everyone who has answered this question thus far CLEARLY has NO IDEA what they are talking about. The SAT is a very difficult standardized test that requires meticulous preparation if you desire such a high score.

   If you're a sophomore then you still haven't taken the PSAT yet. My advice to you is to study for the SAT now, using either Kaplan or Princeton Review books and taking a lot of practice tests. I took the PSAT this year and I was disappointed with my score of 1630, but just from that testing experience alone I was able to improve my score to an 1850 when I took it again in May. The best preparation you could possibly do is every Saturday to take a full practice SAT at 9am, in order to get used to taking the test at that time. After you take each practice exam, use the week to go through the test and review any questions you got wrong.

   Again, you haven't even begun your junior year yet, so you have plenty of time. If you take a practice SAT at this point and score 1600+ you should be fine. The amount of time between now and May gives you ample amount of time to study and improve your score to the 2000+ range. Recently I scored as high as a 2310 on a practice SAT, and I hope to duplicate that on the October SAT. Trust me, put in the time and effort and by the time May rolls around you should have no problem improving an initial score of 1600 on a practice test to your desired score of 2200+.
