<p>I need to raise my score up from a 27 to a 29 in less than a month...possible? </p>
<p>Lopsided subscores:
R: 33
W: 30 (12/12 on the essay)
M: 24
S: 21 </p>
<p>..so I was one point of one section away from getting a 28. </p>
<p>I figured I needed to raise 4 points on my science and 2 on my math..is this possible/worth it?
From 27 to 29...yea or nay?</p>
<p>definitely possible. if you study for a month, you should be able to raise your score more than 2 points. by the way, any tips on how you got a 33 on the reading section?</p>
<p>of course you can do it 
I went from a 27 to 33 on reading, 21 to 28 on science, and 29-34 on english. Just get to know the science test like the back of your hand.</p>
<p>Reading…heh. Well, to be honest, and I hate to say it, I thought the section was a breeze. I had a 5 in AP Lang and English is my gig. </p>
<pre><code> HOWEVER when I was starting to read things analytically I used the underlining technique. Underline every few sentences to sum up what you’ve read in your mind so you don’t fall asleep. Also a valid thing to do was reading a passage of literary merit [say, an article from the New Yorker] and MAKING MC questions for it. It really puts you in the mind of the testmaker.
I read all of the passage…didn’t skim or whatnot…and didn’t have any particular technique but underlining. It worked well for me and I attribute my 5 to it. The only ones I found a bit difficult were the paragraph/sentence reorganizing bits. Those I had to read more than once.
