How much can I raise my SAT score by?

<p>From previous PSATs and one SAT practice test I just took, I know that I can hit the mid-to-high 1800's range without much practice. (I hit around the 600's per section, my "best" section wold probably be the Critical Reading, but not by much.)</p>

<p>With reviewing some math/grammar concepts, do you think I could realistically raise each section score to the 700's? I'm willing to practice an SAT test every day if I have to, I'm just so disappointed that I learned of my capabilities (or lack of, in this case) so late in the game, as it is my junior year and my SAT test date is steadily approaching. (Of course, taking it again is an option I'm willing to take, but one I'd rather not.)</p>

<p>In your opinion, what math concepts on the SAT did you have the most difficult with?</p>

<p>You can raise it to a 2400, because the highest you can score is a 2400.</p>

<p>Best advice I can give you is:

  1. Learn the basic grammar rules; I think Sparknotes does a good job of covering them.
  2. Math is just practice and pacing; Do a lot of practice tests
  3. For reading, the most important thing that you do is ground yourself in the text. Don’t make any logical jumps. Most importantly though, you need to find a way to read the text that works for you. What worked for me was that I would read the entire passage, then answer the questions.</p>

<p>Last but not least, even if you don’t do as well as you want on the SAT, it is not the end of the world!</p>

<p>P.S. if it makes you feel better, I scored in the 1700s on my first practice SAT and got 2300+ on the real one in one sitting. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of luck.</p>

<p>Routine practice of practice after practice. Look at the plethora guides we have in CC.
I went from 1300~2100 in two years of practice</p>
