[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently working with a tutor, summer before 11th. Started at 1280 and last practice was 1470. Hoping for more gains before summer ended. [/quote] Exact same [/quote] Pls don’t base your prediction on the practice tests.[/quote] My kid started at 1330 with true practice test. 4 hours of targeted individual tutoring. Next "real practice test" (ie a real SAT from 1-2 years before) put them at 1500. They did 3 more practice tests with 1 hour of tutoring in between to go over tricks and identify areas of mistakes. Every practices test (4) after tutoring started was around 1500. first Real SAT was 1490. 2nd and final Real SAT was 1500. Key is the practice tests and baseline were started at 8/9am. You need to simulate real test situations (which was key for my kid as they are a go to bed at 3am and sleep until 1pm as their natural sleep cycle). But for us, the practice tests were spot on.
