<p>Hi! I have an 1890 right now. I want a 2200 on the december 6th SAT reasoning test and this is pretty much my last chance.
My 1890 is 640 CR/720 Math/530(!!!) Writing with 8 Essay. I took this in June 2008 so maybe in the meantime I've gotten better(I wish).

<p>I am on thanksgiving break this week so I have some time, Please tell me what I should do? How I should study? What kind of mindset I should have? This is my last chance to improve my SAT scores for the UCs. Thank you!</p>
<p>Math: Do Lots and LOTS of Math Practice tests after reviewing the basics.
CR: Constantly Read, anytime anywhere you have the chance + study vocabulary + practice test
Writing: Keep doing practice tests after reviewing basics</p>
<p>After doing practice sections MAKE SURE you go over mistakes. The time it takes to go over your mistakes and truly understand the pattern to the problem you miss, should take more than 5 minutes, and is absolutely crucial to improving. </p>
<p>If you get all the sentence completion right, you'll get about 700. Math, I don't know. You'll just have to practice and learn to pace yourself. Don't waste time on a single problem. Learn to work fast, smart, and carefully with multiple questions. As for writing, you just have to memorize grammar rules. Practice writing essays. Always have at least 2 examples at the back of your head.<br>
For a week, sleep at the same time. Don't sleep early the day before if you haven't done that in the past. You'll only feel like crap on test day. Wake up earlier than you normally do and review some material to get your brain thinking. Listen to some music that'll wake you up. I listen to Yellowcard. Some listen to the song "8 miles [mile?]." =] Good luck!</p>
<p>Hello,
I know this is about the the SAT not the GMAT but i just took it and scored very very low, im thinking of retaking it in a month max (or ill miss universities deadlines). I was wondering what are my chances to get a higher score? I need at least 200 more points than what i got ? Besides, I heard that statisticaly no matter how many times u retake to GMAT your score is always gonna be more or less the same as the first one, i know it sounds illogical, but is that true ?
pls advice,</p>
