<p>As a sophomore, I got a 660CR, 640M and 710W. I want to bring them up by around 100 pts. I have the Official Guide, and I'm taking it again in the May. How can I achieve this?</p>
<p>practice, practice, practice… take a SAT test every Sat between now and May.
Its called the Xiggi method…from a CC thread circa 2005-</p>
<p>"I’ve talked with Xiggi a great deal about his ideas on how to prepare for the SATs. Indeed, it is the method that my daughter used with her tutor. It’s quite simple: buy the real SAT book put out by the college board (there’s one for the new SAT). Do not use any other prep book as they do not use “real” questions. Only the College Board’s own book does.</p>
<p>Break the tests in the book down into separate sections. Take each section one at a time. Do not worry too much about time in the beginning. After you have finished each test, review the answers and the explanations carefully for each problem, even the ones you got right. This last is VERY important as you want to make sure you know WHY you got each problem right so you can start to recognize patterns and similar questions.</p>
<p>Repeat the process with each section and every part of the book. Then retake the tests again, and do the same."</p>
<p>This may sound stupid, but if your only a sophomore, then one way to bring your score up is actually just waiting. The amount that you’ll improve in your writing, math skills, and reading comprehension just by going to school is actually surprising. </p>
<p>But if you do want to be studying, google “Ultimate SAT Verbal”. Its a blog written by a woman that brought me up 130 points in verbal in a few months.</p>
