<p>Ppl help me out.....i gave the sat in Dec 07 nd got 1730....</p>

<p>CR 530
WR 560
M 640</p>

<p>Help me out.....i will be giving the SAT in Nov 08 or Dec 08.....so i have a lot ov time for prep.....plz tell me which books should I use to get a 2000+ score.....cuz thats what I desperately need to get into a good college!!</p>

<p>P.S: I prepared for only abt 2-3 weeks and didnt do lot ov 'timed' practiced tests so the major problem with me was time management (i skipped a LOT OV questions on the exam day!!) otherwise i mostly got 1900-2200 in the practice tests i did....</p>

<p>Use the Blue Book, and more importantly...take timed tests! And lots of them!</p>

3

<p>BB is a must. I also recommend Rocket Review for strategy.</p>

4

<p>do you seriously not know how to spell "of"?</p>

5

<p>hahahahaha</p>

6

<p>lmao, just noticed that</p>

<p>My SAT score jumped from a 1690 to a 1990 when I used the Gruber book. On my ACT, I then got a 32, which is roughly a 2130. It helped me....A LOT. That's a little over a 400 point increase!</p>

8

<p>Went from 1610 to 2100.</p>

<p>Studied during the summer. I think I could have done even better.</p>

9

<p>Barron's SAT 2400 book!
I got a 2170 the first time so I don't know what to compare it to.
But I do remember on the PSAT I scored a 63 on the Critical Reading section (so my projected score was about a 630) and I ended up scoring an 800. It had great strategies in there for that section, and the other sections as well.</p>

10

<p>162 to 2120</p>

<p>I managed to get my CR score and Math score to my expectation, but the writing score killed me.</p>

<p>You know what, there are hundreds of strat books from various companies, such as PR, Barron's, Kaplan, etc, but I would not completely rely on them. They each have different strats offered. Best way is to develop your own strat while solving numerous practice problems / tests.</p>

11

<p>I went from a 1680 to a 2150.
Its important to do a lot of timed practice tests, and I highly recommend the strategies in the PR book.</p>

12

<p>164 -> 2150</p>

<p>Just take a million practice tests, and see what you miss, and don't make the same mistake next time.</p>

13

<p>How about the Kaplan SAT 2400?....has anyone used that?....</p>

14

<p>Yup i've heard a lot abt the Barron's SAT 2400.....any praises for that book??</p>

15

<p>164 -> 1980. And as you've seen, you can do even better than how I did.</p>

16

<p>yea get the barrons 2400, I raised my score from a 1170 to a 2350.
Studied like 4.5 hours a day for a year.</p>

17

<p>are u serious thats a little too much (4.5 hours a day for a year)</p>

18

<p>lol, if you have a lot of time i'd recommend Gruber's. i've heard from ppl that it's useful for long-term studying.</p>

yeah that's a lot, but it's a big difference, and if it changed his/her life (ie got her into a good school), and he/she's happy, it should be worth it?</p>
