<p>I took the SAT for the first time (I'm a junior) in January. I received a 1990 with no preparation whatsoever; 630 M, 670 W, 690 CR.</p>
<p>A month or so passed, and I was motivated by my parents to pursue a tutor for math. After working with him, I've realized that I know almost everything that I need to for math, and that it was petty mistakes and a bit of panicking that made my score a 630. With him, and weekly practice tests, I've managed to consistently receive 760; at that stage, an 800 is entirely feasible.</p>
<p>So, as of late, I've realized that I have almost entirely neglected CR / W for the past 4 months. With that being said, CR / W come the most naturally to me; I am definitely better in the humanities than I am the sciences or mathematics...</p>
<p>I am aiming as high as possible with colleges, because I feel confident in my abilities. My dream school is Princeton... and the realities of applying there have made themselves quite apparent. A 1990, quite frankly, is not good enough.</p>
<p>So- I am retaking the SATs on June 1st, and most likely again in October.</p>
<p>My question to all of you; what are some coherent, comprehensive plans to study for CR / W? I have no idea what kind of goal to set. In the back of my mind I know that I should only expect marginal improvements (at best), but once again- I'm shooting for the stars here. A 2100 seems almost definitely possible, but when scores are in the 700s, even minor improvements can increase your score dramatically. So, I said, to hell with it- why not look for a 2200-2300?</p>
<p>In the few practice tests I've taken since, my scores have been consistent with my January scores. I have looked over what I've gotten wrong, and found that the answers are obvious- I feel angry when I find this. In short; I am definitely capable of improvement....</p>
<p>...but how? I have two weeks to improve, and I am entirely motivated to do whatever it takes to get there.</p>
<p>Thank you for reading / possibly posting!</p>
<p>PS- I have the Official SAT Study Guide from College Board, as well as the Princeton Review SAT Review book.</p>
