How to improve a 2010

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>So, I'm a Jr. My GPA is like 3.3, so I wanna own my SATs so I can make a pretty good college.</p>

<p>My PSATs were 176 / 175.</p>

<p>I got worse my jr year haha</p>

<p>By just doing the question of the day for 4 months, reviewing by myself for like a total of 3 hours, and going to a tutor for a total of six hours (he was really good), I somehow got a 2010! and i never took a full length practice SAT. haha Which I was super surprised and happy about for my first time.</p>

<p>Would it be worth taking it a second time? How much work over the summer and what exactly would be the best way for me to prep to boost it up 50-100 points or something?</p>

<p>M-710
CR-690
W-610 (10 Essay never taking a practice essay before)</p>

<p>So, what would be the best tactic over the summer to improve it at least 50-100 points?</p>

<p>I'm thinking:</p>

<p>-1 Hour private tutoring with same tutor a week
-CB Question of the day
-Go through 30 minutes of the Big Blue CB book a day</p>

<p>I think I'm smart, and SATs are good for me, and I wanna do good to make-up for my subpar GPA.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?? Thanks!!</p>

<p>The SAT grades essays based on a certain format. If you get the format down you can prbly boost your writing score.</p>

<p>Man the WR is the easiest to improve.Trust me ! You can easily make it 700-720 and with some luck even 750.If u become WR expect,why note 750++ .Luck is very important.During practice tests,I hardly made 1 improving paragraphs error ,now I found out about 2 errors on my June testing …</p>

<p>Studying that alone should jump your writing section 50 points. Writing is ridiculously easy to study for. Get the blue book and practice writing sections individually in the week or 2 preceding the test.</p>

<p>Math is also quite easy to improve. Just go over the questions that you got wrong, and learn what you didn’t know beforehand. The same with writing. You got a good score on the essay, so you must have had trouble with the multiple-choice. Which sections did you get the most mistakes on? What grammar issues did you struggle with? Learn what you got wrong, figure out the correct answers and why they are correct, and then keep practicing so that you can get them right on the actual SAT. Study your mistakes. Don’t just keep taking practice tests and making the same mistakes over and over. As for whether to retake, I think it depends on which schools you want to apply to. Find out the average SAT scores of the colleges you’re applying to. Try to get above the average.</p>
