<p>I have always been a B+ to A+ student. I am doing my SAT's this January on the 28th.</p>
<p>I have been using sparksnotes, Grubers Complete SAT guide, and the Blue Book / Sat Online course. I left studying for the test till only a month before it, I thought it would be less work. Which was stupid.</p>
<p>These are my latest practise SAT (in the Blue Book) scores.</p>
<p>Critical Reading - 650
Writing - 650 (10 Essay, it gets scored online on the SATonlinecourse)
Math - 500</p>
<p>Total of 1800.</p>
<p>The average of my last 3 practise tests is 1750. Would this be a good indication of what I will achieve in the real SAT?</p>
<p>I only need 1650 for the degree I want to do at my local college, but I want to aim for a low 1900's so I can keep my options open.</p>
<p>How can I improve my current scores the most, considering I only have 2 weeks left? I would appreciate any advice.</p>
<p>^ I agree with JimboSteve. At this point, practice tests are your best option. Take as many as you can, and understand perfectly why you missed the ones that you missed… When the time comes, don’t cram the day before the test, but rather relax, do some leisurely reading, go to bed early, maybe go through your vocabulary… good luck!</p>
<p>Alright, I will keep doing more practise tests. Thank you for the advice. I also just finished all of Grubers Strategies, I reckon it should help improve my score.</p>
<p>Strategies won’t really help as much as you think.</p>
<p>I’ve been preparing since december and had pretty much the same results. In my opinion you should emphasize on practice. Do a full test every day , review ALL your mistakes and then do some “theoritical” studying (like studying strategies or vocabulary) .</p>
<p>Don’t expect to gain a sudden score boost. If you’re industrious and motivated , results will SLOWLY start to improve after the 3rd practice test .</p>
<p>After a long ,tedious journey of pratice you’ll start to subconsciously recognize the solving methods. You even might end up making strategies of your own.</p>
<p>If you don’t have time for every day practice tests, I suggest buying workbooks just to improve your skills. Princeton review, Barron’s and Gruber’s are amongst the decent ones.</p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure about the relaxing the day before thing. I found it helpful to work through a practice test to get in the mood, but I suppose it depends on your preferences. </p>
<p>By the way, I recommend bringing a Nalgene of coffee diluted with milk and ice. Every time a break is called, take a chug. It’ll keep you focused and alert the whole time, and as long as you keep consumption constant and paced, it [has</a> been shown to increase test scores](<a href=“Home - helpingpsychology.com”>Home - helpingpsychology.com).</p>
<p>I feel super screwed… I usually stress out before an exam, then once I start doing it. I am fine. Would I most probably score around the average of my practice tests?</p>
<p>I am hitting 1950 - 2000 consistently now on practise tests. I pretty much studied from 6 - 8 at night though sine I posted. But I got it done. Wish me luck for this Saturdays SAT!!</p>
