How to raise these mediocre SAT scores?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I know there are a lot of 2000ers out here so please give me your advice because I only have a 1720. I'm a rising junior and I urgently need to boost my SAT score. I'm not anywhere close to the 2000s! I want at LEAST a combined score of 1300+ in my Math and CR.</p>

<p>Current score from SAT prep class I took:
Math:560-620
CR:530-560
Writing:530-560
Avg score (Took 4 times): 1720</p>

<p>Math weakness: Haven't taken Alg 2 yet, only geometry.
CR weakness: Vocabulary is very low..</p>

<p>I read a topic that recommended books, will Gruber's math help me improve my math? I need books that aren't insanely difficult, I need books that fit my score and will help me get my Math and CR up to the mid-high 600s. I already have the Collegeboard Official SAT book and I'm going to start learning the top 200 SAT words.</p>

<p>The best way to raise your score is practice. Just keep practicing and your score will increase. Another idea is to look over learn some algebra II notes or textbooks because that will help you a lot. You wont be able to do all of the problems if you havent learned the concepts. So just practice and study and your score should go up.</p>

<p>Vocab: buy the two volumes of Direct Hits and make flashcards.</p>

<p>Practice really does make perfect. Just keeping reviewing old questions - you’ll find they’re all very similar, and on the same topics. They can only ask the same question in a certain number of ways.</p>
