How can I increase my SAT score from 2000 to 2300?

Test Preparation

<p>Hey,
Right now I am around 700-750 math, 550-600 critical reading, and 700-750 writing.
How can I increase my scores before the Jan. 22 SAT.</p>

<p>I have break until January 3rd, so I plan to do most of my studying until then. I can dedicate around 6 or 7 hours a day for SAT. </p>

<p>I was thinking about studying: </p>

<p>-Barrons writing, critical reading, and math practice books.
-Barrons 2400
-Blue Book w/ 10 Practice tests
-Online Course for the SAT (college board)
-Silverturtle's SAT Guide and Academic Hacker's Guide to a 12 essay. </p>

<p>Do you think I can do it? I would love advice and comments!</p>

<p>Yea probably, but it will be hard. 6-7 hours a day is brutal.</p>

<p>If I were you I would just take practice test and review your answers immediately after. Take sections one at a time - obviously you really just need to focus on CR, so don’t waste much time with math and writing. Just do a lot of CR sections and you are golden. </p>

<p>P.S. Are you a Junior?</p>

<p>Yeah I am a Junior. I just want to get a good score first time, in one sitting.</p>

<p>^Don’t stress out too much. If I were you, I would just use Silverturtle’s guide for the writing section, and use DH1 and DH2 for CR. If you do that and master each one, I would expect you should get -assuming no stupid mistakes- 760-800 math, 770-800 writing, and 730-750 reading.</p>

<p>What are DH1 and DH2?</p>

<p>^Direct Hits 1 and 2.
I actually bought DH1 a week ago, am I seeing how it is. I will probably order DH2 sometime this week. </p>

<p>Thanks for the comments. Now to the real test to actually do it. :D</p>

<p>Ohh we dun have dh books in our country. A bad thing</p>

<p>Hey Raichu, I know this was from a while ago, but how did you end up improving? Just practice tests and stuff?</p>
