<p>Hi! I got 1970 in the October SAT (international) and I was wondering what would be the best study plan to increase to at least 2200, even 2400. I got 590 in Critical Writing (my January 2010 was 610, and this one went pretty well..), 690 in Maths and Writing (10 in the essay).</p>
<p>I'm planning on reading silverturtle's guide, for one, and solve more official tests.</p>
<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I’d like to know too, although I already have an approach. You’re an international so I think the standards can be a bit lower for you. I personally got a 650 in CR, but I got every single sentence completion question right, so you might want to study: [SAT:</a> Improve SAT Score with SparkNotes: The Top 250 Most Difficult SAT Words](<a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides)</p>
<p>For math, I think practice tests are the way to go. There really isn’t anything too difficult about math, you just have to approach it with a straight and pragmatic attitude.</p>
<p>As for writing, practice! The essay is harder, however. If you like a topic, you might do better. For example, I got an 11 on the essay up from my previous 8, but I really liked my topic. Look around for the “How to get a 12” on the SAT essay guide, because despite getting almost the same amount of questions right, the change from an 8 to 11 brought mine up to 790.</p>
<p>And by the way, do SAT Questions of the Day. Although they don’t help with Passage-based questions, these will take care of all the other types of questions. I found this, which can be used to do old SAT questions of the day: [SAT</a> Question of the Day Browser](<a href=“http://globetheater.110mb.com/SAT_Practice.html]SAT”>http://globetheater.110mb.com/SAT_Practice.html)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I have an inbox of SAT Questions of the Day that I haven’t solved yet. There are around 400 of them.</p>
<p>I used to get like 2100-2200 from the Practice Tests, so it really surprised me when I got 1970… I always used to get 700 and the test went well for me.</p>
<p>I think I have the essay in the bag, honestly, but a 12 can’t hurt.</p>
<p>I was thinking of buying Direct Hits.</p>
<p>Bump… I’m still open to advice.</p>
<p>Do a lot of practice tests. I didn’t use any books, but instead went to my local test prep center (Elite) and took about 50 tests. </p>
<p>Enough for a 2400.</p>
