<p>I am a junior, and I really want a 2400.
On my PSAT I received a 227 (minus 1 in each section). I've done all the Blue Book practice tests, and I'm currently studying off of Barron's SAT. For each section I get 700+ but it fluctuates. For math I usually make some type of stupid error and end up missing 1-3 questions. For CR I usually miss about 4 or 5 of the passage-based questions and occasionally 1 sentence completion question. For writing I usually get 1-3 of the questions wrong, although once I got a perfect MC score. </p>
<p>I have until November of next year (about 7 months). What can I do to raise my SAT score 150-100 points? Are there any books that will help me?</p>
<p>If all the mistakes you’re making are out of carelessness, then you have to concentrate and be lucky enough to be one of the few to get a 2400. If you’re making mistakes on level 4-5 math questions, then you need to review your material adequately and practice with higher level math questions; consider Dr.Chung’s. Generally though, if you got a 227 by getting 1-2 questions wrong in each subject, then it’s probably luck: in which case, you need to simply keep practicing and on the day of the exam, concentrate as much as humanly possible and home that the scales of luck tip in your favor. ;)</p>
<p>In my opinion you have reached the point where it comes down to luck. If your only getting -1 each section and you think its because of simple mistakes, then you just have to work more carefully.</p>
<p>But you can try chungs for math and essential 300 for vocab. But really isnt necessary if your already scoring that high.</p>
<p>I would focus and practice your weakest subject like CR. Try to get perfect score at home and if you can do that on a few tests than you should be ok in real situation. Do you have Barron’s 2400?</p>
<p>Okay I’ll buy Dr. Chungs! I occasionally miss level 4 or 5. And I’ll definitely keep practicing</p>
<p>I actually do not have Barron’s 2400. Maybe I should get it? Do you happen to know any helpful critical reading books? I’ve already gone through college board’s blue book and Barron’s SAT. Can I raise my CR score by constantly practicing or there a better method to raising my score?</p>
<p>How’s your vocabulary? Do you need improvement there? D2 also used Rocket Review, but I think it’s out of print.</p>
<p>it’s pretty good. for sentence completion i mostly get minus 0 and occassionally I get 1 or 2 wrong. Will memorizing more vocab help me on the passages?</p>
<p>do NOT get the Dr.Chung’s math book. It will NOT help you on the SAT. The explanations are very vague ad nebulous, and the questions are nowhere near similar to the questions on the SAT. I strongly advise you to not buy the book, it is atrocious…ghost</p>
<p>
Here’s the CR section from RocketReview [The</a> SAT Reading Comprehension: Basic Principles - FamilyEducation.com](<a href=“SAT Critical Reading Tips”>SAT Critical Reading Tips)</p>
<p>thank you for the link. I will try to use that strategy. it seems very helpful</p>
<p>Okay. I have Barron’s SAT and Gruber’s SAT. do you recommend I go through the math sections on those?</p>
<p>Here is my recommendation:
A) Take as many practice tests as you can
B) Write down every problem you get wrong and determine whether a mistake was careless or conceptual
C) Write down every TYPE of problem you get wrong in an excel file and study these intensely</p>
<p>To get a 2400 you need a combination of intelligence and luck. One careless mistake in math and it is all over. Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>i’m willing to take more practice tests, but I’m hesitant on which practice tests to take. I’ve done all the blue book questions and the college board’s practice tests. I’m currently working through Barron’s. I also have Kaplan’s 12 practice tests, McGraw Hill’s 12 Practice Tests, and Princeton Review’s SAT (not 11 practice tests).</p>
<p>The Kaplan, McGraw Hill, and Princeton tests seem different than the real test. The Barron’s one is different too, but it seems more similar to the real test. Do you recommend I go through all of those?</p>
<p>practice, practice, practice.
try BB 1st edition practice tests. It’s a shame that you’ve exhausted BB 2nd edition, though.
I really liked BB and Princeton and Kaplan was useful for days I was tired and would waste BB tests.</p>
<p>Haha. After a certain extent, no book will help you get a 2400.
(If there was a secret “2400 Book”, it would be flying off the shelves…)</p>
