<p>So the December date for SAT is coming up and I'm wondering is it really feasible to break 2000 in a month's practice.</p>
<p>Currently I have taken the SAT two times, both times scoring 1910</p>
<p>CR: 640
W:600
Math: 670</p>
<p>I'm planning to do hardcore studying over this month, but is it really possible to raise like 100 points to get break 2000?</p>
<p>You bet. I went from a 1930 to 2170 (2220 super score) with a bit of preparation. I bought an official CB study guide and thoroughly worked through 5 of the tests. Since each test takes 3-4 hours to take, grade, and research, it would take you 15-20 hours to take 5 and possibly achieve similar success. Make sure you also read all the awesome guides written on the SAT in the prep forum. I spent at an hour everyday reading through that forum.</p>
<p>so what was your study plan regarding the three sections (reading, writing, and math)?</p>
<p>the thing is I’m on a time restraint so I don’t necessarily have time to study Vocab Words</p>
<p>I was too lazy to study vocab. In hindsight that was a terrible idea because vocab questions accounted for 5 of the 6 I ended up missing in CR. Of course, you have even less time that I did but if you are really going to study hardcore, you can buy a Direct Hits book and study that whenever you have time. A lot of CCers say this book helped the most. Trust me, you have more time that you think you do. Carry it around and study it on bus/car rides, during lunch, ect. This is what I would have done at least.</p>
<p>Since my math was also my strongest suit (my math score was 160 higher than both sections my first time), I only worked the hard questions to save time. Other than that, I just took the test as if it were test day but I didn’t time myself and might have only done one section a day.</p>
<p>Definitely get Direct Hits. You could easily cover those words within a day or two. Put all the words you don’t know onto flash cards and then study them until you’ve memorized them. </p>
<p>If you haven’t already, get through as much of the Blue Book as you can. Keep practicing (every day, if you’re serious about breaking 2000); perhaps do 2 Writing sections a day, 1 CR, and 1 Math. Read some of the guides on this site, especially consider silverturtle’s guide on the writing section. None of these are going to work miracles, of course, but you should gain a better understanding of the test.</p>
