I have gotten 800s on math before, though not consistently. I haven't gotten anywhere close to a 780 on reading. That being said, I have the resources (probably) to perform well. Also my parents said that if I got a 1600 I would get to go to Singapore. Which sounds really hype and I would love that.

Looking at the scoring, I think a 780 in reading is quite difficult but maybe manageable if I work hard enough. Maybe.

The last test I took similar to this was the Upper ISEE in October 2021. I fell asleep halfway through and got 98s for math and 96s for reading (there are four sections graded indivudally but somehow I got the same scores for both tests in each category).

My thought is that when the test comes around (this October), hopefully I will have prepared enough + get lucky enough to not mess up on math at all and will have read through all the books I have thoroughly enough to not mess up on reading that much (I think it's much harder to silly on the reading section).

I genuinely don't expect to get a 1600 but it is definitely my goal.
