<p>I am taking the SAT in October and I was wondering what techniques I can do to raise it because my SAT score is a 1650 but the most on the most recent test I got an 1810. I have gotten a score like that before but when I take the test I get in the 1600s????</p>
<p>May I suggest reading the thread on how the person raised their score 700+ points

<p>You question is a bit confusing and vague, but i’ll just give you a general answer.
Are you timing yourself? Time yourself for each section you practice and you don’t have to do all sections in a day. Review the ones you got wrong in those sections, why you got them wrong, and if you see a repeated pattern, ex: your math is lowest in the algebra section of math, then put more time and effort into those. You can use khanacadamy.com or buy a separate book if you want to raise a compartment of the SAT alot. For ex: if your grammar’s pretty low and you have the time to read it, you can buy The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar. I raised my Math score 110 points just by doing timed practice questions and reviewing. When you feel you have improved in the sections, you can take a whole timed test with 5 minute breaks. I forgot when you got to have the breaks, but I remember I got about 4 breaks when I was taking the SAT’s. Also keep your goal in mind. What I do is I have an actual goal I think I can reach and another goal that is higher than my actual goal. So when I start getting scores of my higher goal, I know I can take stop studying as hard because I have already reached my actual goal and i’m more likely to get that goal than I would have if I had just stopped when I got what I was okay with. Does that make sense? I don’t know, but motivation is everything, so that’s why i’m explaining that goal thing to you. I don’t know if this is a problem for you, but I remember studying while my friends were putting it off and relaxing. Don’t put off studying, even if your friends are. You don’t want to regret something that takes a major part in your future. So just study. Practice makes perfect, honestly. If you reach a stalemate, you have to search up topics in CC and try different approaches. Good luck!</p>
<p>My kid raised her scores a lot doing timed practice tests and reviewing the errirs. Also she discovered during a practice test that for her, if she did the Math section in reverse order, she went faster. I don’t know why - maybe doing the harder questions first while her brain was fresh made her go faster?</p>
