<p>I'm scoring 650 in math
500 CR
and 500 WR
How do I improve to a 750+? I have a BB, Barrons 2400, Grubers and sparknotes but haven't used them yet. What are the best CR or Writing books that I should get?</p>
<p>Writing: extremely easy to get into the 700s. Learn about comma splices, subject verb agreement, modifying clauses, parallelism, and take a few practice tests. Best book/resource: silverturtle’s PDF.</p>
<p>Critical reading: much more difficult to improve. Nevertheless, I think anyone can improve; read magazines to get a hang of how ideas are conveyed in written pieces, study vocabulary if that’s causing you any trouble - with enough practice you should be able to consistently get fewer than 3 vocab questions wrong per test; think objectively/be alert. Best book/resources: Direct Hits (apparently), Blue Book tests, real magazines and stuff.</p>

<p>Your score is amazing for a tenth grader!</p>
<p>Suggest practicing a bit (:</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend NOT using Barron’s… a lot of the time it’s inaccurate and awkwardly worded. Use the Official Collegeboard SAT Book.</p>
<p>You still have another year to boost your SAT scores and they probably will improve naturally with your harder coursework. You should try reading classics and writing under a time limit. Do more practice tests so you can become familiar with common grammar mistakes in parallelism, etc like kosig mentioned above.</p>
