<p>The first time I took the test in January I had very minimal preparation. I took a single practice test the week before. Ended up with a 730CR/690M/710W</p>
<p>After that I spent a decent, but not massive, amount of time studying during the Summer. I took about ten practice tests and read some stuff (but mostly just practice tests). In November I got 710CR/740M/800W</p>
<p>The 710 was kind of disappointing because I usually either missed 1 or 0 passage based reading questions and 1 or 2 sentence completion questions on practice tests. In November I think I missed 3 SC questions and apparently like 4 MC questions. Somehow slipped up big-time.</p>
<p>Math is just difficult for me. It's not really the problem difficulty, but rather the fact that I'm easily tricked. 10 practice tests helped me to get over this a bit, but I really wanted a 770+. My intended major is Computer Science, so yeah.</p>
<p>Writing I've always considered my greatest strength. Last time I got -3 MC and a 9 essay (for a 710, ridiculous lol) and this time I got -0 MC and a 10 essay for an 800. I've become very used to the collegeboard's formula for this section and I'm almost undefeatable on practice tests (sometimes I get a sentence completion idiom one wrong on practice tests, but typically I get them all right). Can't really improve an 800 and I doubt It can go down much.</p>
<p>So even though I've taken ten practice tests and exhausted my supply of them, can I improve? How?</p>
<p>Where can I find more practice tests? What books will help me overcome my difficulties in math?</p>
<p>And I've no clue how I went down on reading after so much studying, I'm going to consider that a fluke and assume that I'll score better next time.</p>
<p>And one more question: colleges that ask you to send all of your scores, does this mean that you have to send them new scores you get? If I take the test again I'm not going to put any schools on my recipient list, is it ok to not send the the scores in at all if I don't like them?</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
