  180. I don't know if I could justify prepwork if getting every question right wasn't a goal from the get-go. It's difficult but I think it all depends on 1) time, 2) commitment and 3) strategy. I don't have much time (June) but I am committed and am already here, right?

  Obviously, give it your best shot, so aspire for a 180. If it helps, set incremental goals, i.e. 160,165,170 etc..

  i mean yeah you would definitely want to aim for a 180. but set your goals by what the schools you are applying to require (admissions and scholarships). but to answer your question my dream score is 180, i want a 167 but the minimum score i need is a 161.

  Yes, depending on the school one is trying to reach, a particular score is needed. But even in such a case, don't settle for a score that guarantees admission; a better score can always garner scholarships.

  ^ Thumbs up. I probably came off a little too strong, but what I meant is that I'm always looking to improve - whether I've achieved a 'good' score or not.

  Ya, I think one has to be committed to correcting any mistake. No one would say: "well, since my goal is a 168, I don't really care why I got those few wrong."
