<p>I constantly get between 730 - 750 on the writing section. Do you have any suggestions to help improve my score to an 800?</p>
<p>Ditto here... apparently no one has an answer =-</p>
<p>Me too: I was stuck on 760, and never improved. But I'm done with the SATs anyway.</p>
<p>hmm, I guess it is harder to improve from 750 to 800 than it is to improve from 700 to 750...</p>
<p>thanks a lot, people :confused:</p>
<p>Is the essay your problem?</p>
<p>B/c I have no advice for MC.</p>
<p>it is the MC that is the problem</p>
<p>I don't know how good of a tip this is, but I guess one could have others write gramatically incorrect sentences, and so on, and then you correct them. Not exactly the greatest method, but at least its pratice.</p>
<p>I guess that would work...</p>
<p>Aight yall, I'm a senior who scored perfect on the writing section and I'll open up a few tips since yall aren't getting many responses. The first and foremost way is to go out to Barnes & Noble in a metropolitan city (more variety and breadth of books) and buy every single SAT grammar book with rules and examples. Sit down, and honestly study the book in and out every night so you can score perfect on the MC. Make lists of the examples you get wrong and review them daily.</p>
<p>As for the essay, believe it or not, the way is to memorize as many as you can. Seriously, I guarantee it. First go out and find a book with tons of actual SAT prompts and essay examples. Actually hand write the 12 out of 12 essays on the actual SAT lined paper (make tons of copies and just write again and again until the essay is imprinted in your brain). Believe me, on test day you will run into a topic that you have written over and over, and all you need to do is simply transfer it to the actual SAT!</p>
<p>Taadaaaa! You have just earned an 800 on the SAT Writing!</p>
<p>Did you ACTUALLY do that?!</p>
<p>No way? That can't work.</p>
<p>I really want a 800 on writing... but even if you were to find the net work I've done throughout my entire life, I have a feeling it would turn out to be less than that. That's simply incomprehensible.</p>
<p>I used College Board's Blue Book and scored a 780 (12 essay). I dunno...focus on learning to spot errors, read challenging books, and perhaps most importantly, correct yourself and others :D when you notice a grammatical mistake. It'll stick with you for a long time. I can't guarantee obviously that this process will raise your score 40-50 points, but it worked well for me.</p>
<p>do you think reading Elements of Style will help? I flipped through and it seemed like I knew everything from that book so...</p>
<p>thanks brand, that seems entirely plausible</p>
<p>Elements of Style for anyone who wants it:</p>
<p>ye i'm constantly in the 3-4 wrong range for writing....I always get those tricky ones wrong on the setnence imporvement sections</p>
<p>prick,,,,,,,,,,,,</p>
<p>^ thanks, that helps a lot :confused:</p>
