<p>I have been taking practice tests and I usually get in the range of 1580. (This is all SAT I) I am taking the December S.A.T and am hoping for a 2100. Someone please give me a good SCHEDULE OR STUDY PLAN to follow to increase </p>
<p>CR 500 to 700
Writing 550 to 700
Math 520 to 700</p>
<p>I know it may seem hard to increase so much, but I have lots of hope and am willing to do an average of three hours of study a day.</p>
<p>while I hav way better Writing & Math scores than yours, i'm in the same boat as you. Anyone can help us?</p>
<p>Have you only been taking practice tests or are you also using a review book for strategy and practice questions? You need to know your math formulas, vocab and grammar rules too. Get a review book like Cracking the SAT if you want to pull out of the 500s.</p>
<p>now 1580? to 2100 in 2 weeks? sorry bro u shoulda start way earlier than now.
xiggi method+determination = way to go</p>
<p>I have the PR cracking the S.A.T, but I feel so overworked not knowing what to study first.</p>
<p>Take a step back and take a deep breath. Don't do any more practice tests. Just go thru the Cracking book from beginning to end and then start up again on testing.</p>
<p>^Sorry, but that's terrible advice. Start with the BB, and do the problems untimed. If you get one wrong, figure out why you got it wrong. After about 4 untimed tests, start timing yourself on each section. For the last 2 tests, do them in one sitting.</p>
<p>That isn't terrible advice...if you know how the test works and what techniques to use, you're just wasting practice tests. I started out without any review and wasn't doing too well until I grabbed a review guide and figured out what the traps were. Without having to beat my head against a wall or waste tests. So, it works.</p>
<p>^Nope, you're not wasting the practice tests as long as you analyze the tests afterwards.
@pink, learn the basic strategies, but don't look too much into it. Take practice tests and develop the strategies that work best for you.</p>
<p>The key to improving your score is really just taking practice tests. The SAT is basically the same regurgitated crap each time. Make sure you use the blue book and the tests you can dl from the collegeboard site.</p>
<p>@gummy</p>
<p>I, for one, found the Cracking book completely useless. Process of Elimination... god PR really does love to beat the dead horse, as they say. I think I've seen the same crap in every one of their AP study guides... </p>
<p>But really, there's no way you will know what to work on unless you take some practice tests untimed. You can go through PR all you want, but I doubt you will increase your score by much.</p>
<p>number 1.
don't panic.
studying 3 hours a day everyday isn't good. you'll just be more stressed out. maybe studying every other day would help. i suggest putting the hardest section for you in the middle. (ie 1st writing, 2nd CR, 3rd math)</p>
<p>number 2.
i can only suggest one thing about math section...(i dunno how to improve CR that much, only maybe actually studying the most common words and take as much CR practice questions as possible.) i personally think math is so easy, that it's scary...(and i'm not in precalc yet). some people check the answer over and over and over again because it seems a little TOO easy, and think there's a trick to it. so i recommend just to basically trust your 5th grade math knowledge and not to rush through the questions. (review formulas! would come in handy =) even+even...odd+even...etc) i heard that 2 wrong answers would bring you down from 800 to 720. (it's curved, or something)
how many questions did you get wrong on the math part on the last practice you've taken?</p>
<p>It was a few days ago and, out of twenty questions I tried 16 and got only 11 right</p>
