1550 SAT score not improving :(

<p>I took the SAT in like May. I tried to prep for it all these months. However the more pratice test I took, the confuser I got. My score is always going up and down. It is not improving at all. I'm retaking at October. What little things can I do to improve? I already have the Gruber's Math book and the Direct Hits 2011 vocabulary book. I just don't really know how to use the Gruber's book. Do I seriously have to go through all those concepts? Because I went through the book a little and the concepts seems so basic (adding fractions?). I'm just wondering if the SAT is really going to ask these really basic questions...or is the Gruber's book not accurate. I only have 15 days to get my 460 CR scores up. :/ What can I do...I'm so helpless right now. Also, please recommend me a good writing book please. I'm going to cram real bad this few weeks.</p>

<p>This might be because you don’t review your tests.
It should take at least 10 minutes to review all of the wrong and correct answers of a 25 minute section.
Reviewing the correct answers makes you more confident, while reviewing the wrong answers will either show you that you don’t know the rules well or you simply weren’t focusing enough</p>

<p>^ Thanks! I did go over the answers :slight_smile: However, the more I go over them, the more confused I am. I think I am the weakest at grammar. Can someone recommend me a good grammar book?</p>
