<p>I'm really worried and stressed about my sat score.
I study so much and I still get around 1400. I am desperately needing new advice on how to study for the sat.</p>
<p>Please help</p>
<p>The way I boosted my score from a 1600 to a 2000 was primarily practice. I must have taken at least 10 full-length SATs over one year. Most of the questions aren’t actually that hard IMO. The difficult part about the SAT is how little time you are given. If you practice a ton you will get really fast at doing questions. In my case I had time to double check all my sections.</p>
<p>Other tips:
Math: after you’ve taken a few tests, look at which types of questions (ie. trig, factoring) are giving you the most trouble. Then try to master those concepts.</p>
<p>Writing: The SAT reviewers actually do a pretty good job at this. Look at the samples the the booklets present. Again, practice writing a lot.</p>
<p>Reading: Try reading up on a lot of random articles and decoding them. </p>
<p>Vocab: Those SAT vocab lists are good. Don’t try to cram, just master 5 a day.</p>
<p>Also, the big blue book and other such reviewers are really not helpful (except the writing section). Practice is much more effective than the big blue book.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Like the poster above said, practice. Buy one of the books made up completely of practice questions (Either the Princeton Review or the College Board has one, maybe both do). Subscribe to the SAT question of the day, those will give you good practice and explanation of the right answers. For the vocab, you can also start reading literature more difficult than you’re used to.</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone for giving me tips.</p>
<p>My weakest areas are math and critical reading. I don’t miss that much on the sentence completion around -1-2 per selection but for the passages i miss about 10. Is there any ways to improve passage reading? Geometry is my weakest area in math, is there ways to improve it?</p>
