I need ure opinion on the SAt’s pleez?

Your grades in school don’t have a really strong correlation to your SAT score.

The College Board will tell you that the SAT measures your reasoning and analytical ability. Test prep places such as Princeton Review and Kaplan will tell you that the SAT measures your ability to take the SAT. The truth is somewhere in between.

If you do well in school because you understand the material and you are able to read and write well, you should do okay. You can improve your score by practicing taking the SAT. The College Board site (www.collegeboard.com) offers a lot of free resources to help you prepare. Use them! Applying good test-taking skills can make a noticeable difference. Being familiar with the types of questions you will see will also make a difference.

As much as anything else, the SAT is an endurance test. Counting the time it takes you to complete the info section at the beginning, you could be sitting at a desk for nearly five hours with very little break time. A lot of people who take the SAT’s for the first time are not prepared for the physical part of it and they begin to fade in the later sections.

No, the SATs are not purely a matter of studying- it’s mostly based on your innate ability to take the test, and from there, with studying and practicing, you can improve your score. Being a straight-A student does not mean you can rock the SAT and get a 2400- a 2400 is an almost impossible score to attain. All I can say is practice as much as possible, make your way through a good CollegeBoard SAT book, and if you can afford it, try and sign up for an SAT tutor/class that isn’t unreasonably expensive. If you improve by 50-100 points or more from your starting score, that’s terrific- don’t have your heart set on a 2400. Good luck!

Since Ant above already told you the difficulty of getting a perfect score (and it really is that hard). There is a big difference between a 2400 and a 2200, though a 2200 is still exceptional. You can still miss 4 or 5 questions per section and get a 2200 which equals about 12 to 15 total which is a lot easier than missing 0 to 1 to get a perfect score.

2400s are extremely rare. Even 2200s are rare (I think less than 1% or 2% would get a score that high). I know plenty of people who got straight A’s in school who didn’t even make 2100s on the SATs, but I also know a person who got into the 2300s even though he wasn’t a straight A student.

People used to get 1600s occasionally on the old SAT, so I imagine that it is remotely possible. But it hasn’t happened yet.

But 2200, that’s easy. I have a 2270.

If you’d like my big long spiel about doing well, knowing the test, and my tips for it, I’ll give you that too.

If you want some help (I don’t claim to be wonderful or anything, but I do have experience with the test) you can read my answer to that one. The other answerers gave some good advice, too.

Good luck!

2400 is an extremely hard score to get. the validictorian at my school who got excepted to harvard, full ride, didn’t even get that score. It’s not a matter of how well you study, its more of a matter of how much you’ve paid attention your entire life, and how good you are at figuring out problems, and reading.
