How to improve writing score?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>My writing score is around 60-65. And I need to bring it up to 80, or perfect.</p>

<p>I have already gone through the entire barron writing book, read silver turtle's guide. Now what? :(</p>

<p>What is troubling you? The multiple choice, or the essay? For the multiple choice read sparknotes 7 deadly errors. That’s helped me a lot for the mc portion of writing. I went from a 600 on practice tests to a 760-800 in a few days. I’m fine with the writing portion. I need help on math and cr lol.</p>

3

<p>Me too. I suck on CR. But I’d gladly help you with the math if you want. (:</p>

<p>Cool, I’ll read sparknotes! Thanks</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m around a 610-640 in CR. :frowning:
Were you always good at the math portion of the SAT? I’ve gone through Gruber’s and I understand the concepts, but I cannot recall them while taking a practice test.</p>

<p>Yeah I got a 540 on writing and a 590 on critical reading with a close to 700 on math last year. </p>

<p>And come on guys, math just takes some formulas and tips to remember (like if a problem looks like this, do this) and you can always check your answers. :slight_smile: I think math is the easiest score to bring up since its so practical and you can always check if your wrong. </p>

<p>Sorry Im no real help to you guys though, Im in the same boat.</p>

<p>I’ve been always god on the math portion. In the beginning I sucked because I rarely read the question (yeah. seriously), but now after doing the right thing and rereading the question, it helped a lot.</p>

<p>And I’d be glad to help if you have a math question! :)</p>

<p>@kimmylouie: Were you always good at the math section or did it take in-depth practice to get the score you wanted?</p>

8

<p>I’ve always been good. In the beginning I got around high 600s, and that was because I never read the question… hehe</p>

9

<p>No the math sections are easy for me, I just procrastinate…a lot on them. Just the CR and the writing. The CR gives me the most problem though.</p>

<p>This was really helpful for me: <a href=“http://www.jcatalfano.com/jcatalfano/studentlink_files/SAT%20Essential%20Grammar.pdf[/url]”>http://www.jcatalfano.com/jcatalfano/studentlink_files/SAT%20Essential%20Grammar.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Sparknotes is also great as mentioned before. And Barron’s 2400 goes in depth if you have more time.</p>
