<p>Hi guys. Recently I got a 1960 comp. (CR, M,W)-(630,680,650) and I'm really aiming to get a 2150+ on my next SAT in January. I guess my major concern is the reading section and learning to improve to 700+. Any tips and/or advice? Thanks!</p>
<p><em>preferably, it would be nice to hear advice from high scorers but anyone is welcome to bring their opinions-esp. if you're really good at the reading section :)</em></p>
<p>this thread will help you with CR passages <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-act-tests-test-preparation/819046-ok-so-what-now.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-act-tests-test-preparation/819046-ok-so-what-now.html</a></p>
<p>i was in the same position as you… i had a 1980 (CR 590, M 700, W 690) superscore for SAT but i took it Oct 2009 and got a 2180 (CR 730, M 730, W 720) =]
i practiced each section like it was the REAL thing… [no cheating and giving yourself extra time]… i completed all the collegeboard official SAT tests in the 2010 edition [2nd ed] and worked out of the 11 practice tests for the SAT by princeton review
practicing SATs will help your pace and let you see more problems and hopefully answer all of them and guess on a few. Good luck!!!</p>
<p>Thanks! Any other helpful advice?

<p>One question i ask: do you run out of time? Or is it the questions themselves?</p>
<p>Ok maybe that was 2 questions</p>
<p>any advice for act english part ??? got a 16 english not first offical language</p>
<p>To King, It’s the questions. I usually find myself finishing a lil bit early or exactly on time.</p>
<p>any other helpful advice? :)</p>
<p>By far, the easiest section to improve is the writing (mc). Just go through barrons or gruber and read all of the grammar. I went up a gazillion pts that way.</p>
<p>oh, and go over what you missed. (the concepts, not just the answers)</p>
<p>how is your vocabulary? you can technically spend some time just to memorize several hundred words that they try to use extensively in those tests. [url=<a href=“http://mydynamicmemory.com%5Dmydynamicmemory.com%5B/url”>http://mydynamicmemory.com]mydynamicmemory.com[/url</a>] has a rather comprehensive list of words, you can even take a test.</p>
<p>these are so hard in writing mc, i need to nail these mistakes</p>
<p>as the only mc errors i made were idiom, plural-singular inconsistency, and improving paragraph like 2 stupid errors
a total of 5 errors </p>
<p>any way to avoid these errors in these categories for jan writing mc ahhhh need 2000 SAT 1 single sitting or superscoredddd</p>
