<p>Tell us your strategies/tips please!</p>
<p>( don't say practice,practice,practice! give me the actual tips! thank you!)</p>
<p>first of all I didn’t get a full 800, but I still got 760 which is not bad,… right? 
Okay no.1, go into sparknotes and peruse the wmc part for the sats.
2. take notes on the principles of grammar you didn’t know with the examples.
3. if you have a prep book(recommended) read the contents of the grammar part in that book too, it will appear similar to those you THOROUGHLY read on sparknotes, but still read it and take notes you’re not sure of, again with the examples.
4. this is the part where practice advents. By the way, when people say ‘practice’, they don’t mean just “practice”. What they are actually trying to say is this, solve wmc questions and look over the ones you got wrong and study why you got it wrong. Again, it’s important that you keep your notes on this as well. it’s 2 in the morning now (where i live, smwhr. in asia) so it looks kinda messy,but the content is not.
BTW, i raised my score from 510 to 760 in just(?) one and a half month.
GOOD LUCK, and I hope you the sat score you’re striving for.
p.s. never give up!!!(i am stupid, but PRACTICE raised my score, so don’t think u can’t!)</p>
<p>thanks for your tips!
I hope I raise my scores like you did!</p>
<p>I hope I can raise that much in one and a hlaf month! I’m geting around 510 while my math is wandering around 70s and CR about 60s.</p>
<p>uhh taco, same here…i need to raise A LOT in one month 
Collegeplease, if you did well on CR, can u give us cr strategies too ?</p>
<p>Unwavering tenacity.</p>
<p>i m really sorry for replying late. Anyway, i ll go right into the point.
First of all, MEMORIZE VOCABS! vocabs are extremely important, not only does it help you for cr but also for wmc(diction problems) and essays+ it will make you look more erudite too:).
I recommend the word smart series from the princeton reviews, even though it will take time, it’s worth it, trust me. You have to go over and over again, never take a break for a day or two, if you do you’ll forget the words. 50~100 will be apt. Also, read articles from newspapers, magazines, etc. I recommend reading from [The</a> Economist - World News, Politics, Economics, Business & Finance](<a href=“http://www.economist.com%5DThe”>http://www.economist.com) , it has sat vocabs and lengths. When you read and find words you’re not familiar with, first conjecture(guess) the word’s meaning, and then look it up, next, write it on a flashcard or something and memorize when you’re pooping, showering(stick on the wall where it’s dry), or drying your hair (those are the times when your head is empty 
).
When you’re tackling the cr part on sat practice tests, first go over the question and before you mark it, find the line and underline it with a pen that hints you the answer. AND THEN go to the answer, mark, and see if the lines you underlined match the lines mentioned on the answer sheet. If not, underline it with a different coloured pen and investigate why you got it wrong. Sat questions tend to have a pattern by the way, you’ll notice it when you do these steps over and over again, if you don’t, the pattern might have been entered in your brain which is much better, so don’t panic.
Keep practicing and you’ll get better. High SAT scores don’t just come along, and don’t trust articles about “THE SHORTCUT TO A HIGH SAT SCORE”, and kids who get high scores without studying actually study more at home when other students are watching TV and partying, they’re the ones who go to good colleges and succeed because they know how to use their time effectively. NEVER BE LENIENT TO YOURSELF, and imagine the position you’ll be in ten years(this made me study) ;).</p>
<p>I’m getting like 71 out of 80 in grammer of the BB practice tests (( I can’t tell you the whole Writing score because I have no one to accuratelly score my essay )) .
I took PR prep SAT course (( only writing )) , and then went through the Barron’s grammer section (( which is not long but useful )) , and took about 12 practice tests so far . And that’s it . </p>
<p>I know wasn’t that useful but just wanted to share what I did .</p>
<p>also, i forgot to mention a point. when you think you’re doing really good, that’s the time to study even harder! if you don’t… the results are going to be depressing. :(</p>
<p>Honestly man, there are no shattering strategies that give you the edge or propel your performance to score a couple hundred points higher than you currently do. Conventional tactics include pacing yourself throughout the exam, never getting bogged down on one question, concentrating and staying focused even if you feel you’ve made a lot of mistakes. </p>
<p>There’s also specific advice regarding the various questions of the section. In regards to Identifying error multiple choice questions, justify whether each underlined part of a sentence is true or false. Treat each underlined portion as a true or false question of its own.</p>
<p>Coming down to the modifying sentence multiple choice questions, usually it’s always the clearest(shortest in most cases) sentence that conveys the main idea. Never choose an answer here that seems the slightest bit ambiguous. You have to be able to read it ONCE, and be able to understand the conveyed image/idea immediately. That’s how you spot the correct answer.</p>
<p>Paragraph questions. Well, here, I can’t really tell you any related advice. You just have to go with your ear. Determine what gives a precise and straight-forward answer when you’re asked to modify, delete, or rearrange a sentence/paragraph. Your ear goes a long way here.</p>
<p>And the most important part of all, practice. You don’t want to hear it, but it’s true. Practice, make mistakes, identify the mistakes and why you made them, learn from them, and don’t make them again. </p>
<p>Last but not least, try not to complicate things too much. It’s really a very simple formula: Studying + Practicing + Learning from mistakes + Concentration + Dedication = High SAT score. Couldn’t be any simpler.</p>
<p>Where/What is the best way to learn idioms? Is there some kind of “master list” available?</p>
