<p>I'll be in 10th grade in september and was wondering how much can I improve until my SAT. On practice tests, i usually get in the 2050-2100 range....how much can I improve if I practice for a year or so..? I really want to get in the 2300+ range. I practice for 1 hour on average with barrons 2400 and the bb. I might get a tutor if I can't get in the targeted range by march.</p>
<p>1.5 years is more then enough to improve to your best. In your case 2300+</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick response! Do you think it’s too early for me to use the BB? I have 6 test left that I havent touched but I want to make sure I’m studying “correctly”. Should I use a PR or Barrons book now and next year(summer b4 Jumior year) use the BB?</p>
<p>Don’t really use the practice tests from PR/Barron. If you are going to use them, I suggest only reading their strategies and things. Their practice tests aren’t too reliable, so after studying/reading the strategies, then test them on the Blue book. </p>
<p>But you can test your knowledge on the Practice tests from Barrons/PR, but just don’t put too much trust in them. </p>
<p>Also, if you are going to use Barrons, I suggest Barrons 2400. Maybe the best book from Barrons. I don’t know about PR though, never used PR.</p>
<p>yeah I am using the barrons 2400. But am I using the BB too early? Im a rising 10th grader.</p>
<p>I am a rising 10th grader as well. Also, yeah, don’t exhaust your BB too early. Buy previous administered PSAT’s/SAT’s, and always use all the practice tests released by CB ever year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do you think they are too easy or too hard?</p>
<p>Anyways…MegaFund, if you study consistently for 1 and a half years, you will be well above your goal, and like nothingto said, don’t go through all of your BB tests so early, started doing those in the month or two before your test.</p>
<p>Thanks!! Do you have any tips on how to increase my CR score? Its a high 600 but I’m pretty bad at the sentence completion.</p>
<p>DirectHits for vocabulary.</p>
<p>Also, I mostly use POE. I cross the ones I KNOW are wrong. Then if I have to decide between 2 or 3 more options, I use roots/context to choose. I usually don’t get too much sentence completions wrong.</p>
<p>@ Brainiac, Thanks!
Is the BB and Barrons 2400 enough? Is a class or tutor needed…?I REALLY want that 2300 but Im worried im not making good progress.</p>
<p>@NothingTo, is there a place where I can get that book or word list for free?</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think tutors are necessary especially since you’re already in the 2000-2100 range. Just go through your prep books thoroughly and you should be fine.</p>
<p>BB is fine for practice tests, if you need more, get the released exams or take the online course. Barron’s 2400 has good advice but if you want to go a little more in depth and have a lot of practice, you can try their workbooks which are pretty good.</p>
<p>honestly, with that much dedication you can definitely get a 2400.</p>
<p>How much do the released exams ost and where can I find them at?</p>
