[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS got a 1460 PSAT. He also just got a 1320 on the SAT in August. What do you think happened? Everything I see online shows a higher score/percentile on the SAT rather than the other way around. DS is taking relevant AP classes but I doubt 1 month of that would increase scores so much. Maybe just a bad SAT day? [/quote]

An anomaly.  August's SAT was challenging because of the Reading portion being particularly dense and leaving many students without enough time to complete it.  If this happened to your child, ask him how many questions he guessed on because he had no time.  Skipping/not having enough time to answer 3 or 4 questions can crush your score. Math Module 2 hit those with subpar geometry skills particularly hard.  Have him study and retake.  Practice his grammar, review vocab words and [b]ABOVE ALL master HOW to take the SAT.[/b]  [/quote]

Thank you. Can you say more about what you mean by this and what resources would be good to review? [/quote]
