Is 1200 to 1400 Realistic?

Absolutely. A 200-point improvement is completely achievable in 3 months if you study consistently and strategically. At DSAT School, we've helped dozens of Bangladeshi students make this exact jump.

Step 1: Diagnose Your Current Position (Week 1)

Take a full official practice test from College Board's Bluebook app under timed conditions. Analyze your results:

  • Which section is lower — Math or RW?
  • Which question types did you miss most?
  • Were your mistakes careless errors or conceptual gaps?

Month 1: Fix Your Foundations (Weeks 1–4)

Math: Focus on linear equations, systems of equations, and percentages. These three categories account for roughly 30% of all Math questions.

RW: Master Standard English Conventions (grammar). This is the easiest category to improve quickly because the rules are finite and learnable.

Daily target: 1 hour of focused practice. Do 10 questions, review all errors, note the pattern.

Month 2: Build Speed and Accuracy (Weeks 5–8)

Start taking timed section-level practice. Work on the most common question types in the Craft & Structure and Expression of Ideas categories for RW.

For Math, add quadratics, functions, and statistics. Use Desmos fluently on every problem — don't avoid the calculator.

Weekly target: One full timed section practice + 30 minutes of error review.

Month 3: Full Tests and Refinement (Weeks 9–12)

  • Take one full practice test per week under real conditions
  • Focus your review on "almost right" mistakes — questions where you narrowed to 2 choices
  • Work on your weakest remaining topic area each day
  • Week 11: Simulate test day fully (wake time, breakfast, timing)
  • Week 12: Light review only — no new material
