getting my sat score to a 1400-1500

Test Preparation
1

<p>im taking the sat this saturday. i haven't been studying much since i just started studying this monday. i really don't want to get the same score i did the last time i took it. i recieved a 1200. i got a 420 on critical reading, 380 on math, and a 400 on writing. </p>

<p>i really want to boost up my critical reading and math scores up to atleast 600 or above for critical reading, and 450 or above for math.</p>

<p>is it possible for me to get a 1500 on my sat. i heard that a 1500 sat is pretty average, and i also heard that its not so hard to get. </p>

<p>i have never study for an sat test until this week. i hope i can raise my score.</p>

<p>i will be taking the next sat coming up too.</p>

<p>If you are a junior, I would recommend waiting until you have studied. It is entirely possible to raise your score from a 1200 to a 1500, but not in one week.</p>

<p>@libanbolt SAT isn’t a test you can study in 1 week (and expect a “decent” score). You have to spend time on it. If you really work hard you can make 1200 to 1700+ in 3 Months. </p>

<p>I will make mini guide for the upcoming SAT:</p>

<p>Tip: If you want to achieve a 1500 (right now), you don’t have solve each problem. Focus on the easy and medium, and SKIP the Hard problems. Watch this video for more info. <a href=“How to Get 1500 or 1600 on the SAT - YouTube”>How to Get 1500 or 1600 on the SAT - YouTube;

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Wow. well first, take a couple of practice test and really practice. SAT really isn’t about your true knowledge unfortunately, its about understanding this specific test format and just becoming really familiar with the college board’s particular content. Study for math first as that’s probably the easiest. I recommend you study Barron’s and study the math concept first. Then do A LOT of practice tests. Just for math
Reading is pretty easy once you know what to look for. However, if you are not a good reader, the passages can seem ambiguous and subjective. Most you can do is get the vocab. Don’t just study the entire dictionary or those entire sat vocab list. collegeboard always recycles old vocab words. Words like quagmire, pragmatic, provincial, precocious and vernacular usually always show up.
If you want to raise your overall sat score, study writing instead.DOn’t directly do the practice test over and over again. Instead, learn the specific types of questions they always ask. Its usually always misplaced modifier, past/present tense, parallel sentence structure, not always… but, meaningless repetition, etc. YOu can probs find a self-help articles on these common mistakes they use. After you get all these problems, then do the practice test.
It really is all about practice because the SAT itself really isn’t that hard. Getting 1600+ should ne not problem at all. Good luck!</p>

<p>ok, just realized you’re taking it this Saturday. well, you probably can’t magically raise your score by 400 pts without studying. seriously. don’t ride much hope on it
Next time, take at least a 1-2 months to study. Go for nov sat instead</p>

<p>well i feel like i did better than i did the first time i took it. i feel more confident that i did better in the critical math section. same for the critical reading section too. overall i think i probaly got a score higher than a 1200</p>
