<p>Hey guys, I'm just really curious on this topic. I see people with scores above 2100's and all and I'm really curious as to how you all have such scores. Like which way is the best to improve your scores? I personally prefer to constantly do sections and learn from my mistakes but some say that isn't as productive. I have the Barron's math and I hate doing the sections. What do you guys suggest? I can constantly take practice tests and people have told me that helps a lot but idk which is best. This would help a lot as I am a senior and don't have that much time left.</p>
<p>Well I can’t say much because I only got a 2160, but I can say that it improved like 600ish from the first time I took it haha. Practice actually does make perfect because they use the same format and topics (trust my, I’ve done loads of practice tests). I also went to take practice tests at some institute because it prepares you for what test day would feel like; the long hours, shuffling of fellow test-takers and timing will throw you off. </p>
<p>For essay, fill up the page. Can be full of ■■■■■■■■ idioms and beautiful sentences, but just fill up the entire space. Strong intro statement. Body paragraph (1 or 2, 3 is overrated) with strong imagery gets me through. Some philosophical conclusion. I usually get 10s and 11s on practice. Got an 11 on the real thing. </p>
<p>Writing - mostly comma misplace. Again, they use the same kind of format/questions/errors so practice practice. Double check those ‘no errors.’ More than 4ish should ring alarm bells. </p>
<p>Math - practice. I liked Dr. Chungs 800 on sat math book (its called something like that). I didn’t really do the practices so much as memorize the tips, so maybe sneakily take pictures or visit bookstore often.</p>
<p>CR - can’t help you there -__- bombed it. But my 800 friend told me that she plays ‘devil’s advocate’ while filling the MC. So basically think of every possible reason why choice C is wrong, instead of right and things are suppose to fall in place. </p>
<p>Not a teacher or anything, but this is all from experience, so from kindred spirit to another, good luck!</p>
