<p>Hey guys, this is my first post on CC long time lurker though. </p>

<p>So at first I was pawned into taking one of those princeton review classes and I was never really motivated I kind of just went and then occasionally zoned out, anyways the week after my PR class ended I took the March SATs and got a 1740, then I did some self studying for the May SATs and got an 1850 (1870 with SS), </p>

<p>These are my splits:</p>

<p>03/2010, 05/2010 SAT Test
540 Reading --> 620 Reading
600 Math --> 580 Math
600 Writing (7 Essay) --> 650 Writing (8 Essay)</p>

<p>I am planning on buying the BB from a borders tomorrow, but what do you guys think my main areas of focus should be? And how should I study ex. doing one problem at a time on practice tests and then checking solution or doing entire sections at a time? </p>

<p>Here are super specific splits if this helps haha </p>

<p>CRITICAL READING: (TOTAL QUESTIONS, CORRECT ANSWERS, INCORRECT ANSWERS, OMITTED ANSWERS)</p>

<p>SENTENCE COMPLETION 19 14 2 3

TOTAL 67 52 10 5</p>

DATA ANALYSIS, STATISTICS, & PROBABILITY 7 5 1 1
TOTAL 54 36 10 8</p>

<p>WRITING: </p>

<p>IMPROVING SENTENCES 25 22 3 0

<p>By the way i'm really sorry if this is an annoying post I just really want to get a great SAT score because I have a really weak GPA and a high SAT score would kind of detract from the GPA issue, thank you so much again.</p>

<p>It’s very possible. I got an 1850 on my March SAT and now I’m getting high 1900s and low 2000s on practice SATs. The key is simply to practice, study difficult questions/questions you got wrong, read silverturtle’s (and others’) guides, etc. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Very possible. I scored an 1840 on my first SAT in Oct 2009 (with no studying, which looking back on it was a horrible mistake) and in May 2010 took it again after some prep (mainly just for math) got a 2080. I recommend just taking practice tests and reviewing your answers.</p>

<p>Yes, it is very very possible.</p>

<p>yes, dont stress it, really.
I went from a 1700 to a 2050 in a matter of months
