<p>Yeah, I was going over my answers and it broke down to this:</p>

<p>Reading:
Prose- 6/10
Social- 8/10
Humanities- 8/10
Natural- 9/10</p>

<p>I guess I’ll try doing the test in reverse order and hope for the best</p>

<p>I got my April results:
English:35
Math: 33
Reading: 28
Science: 31
So I keep scoring 33 on math and I always think that I’ve aced the section (I’m in Calc BC). Any suggestions on improving? Also my reading score got to a point where I feel like I can actually get a 30+ now that its close to my lowest english score (which is now a 35). Any ideas on how to get your best score in one sitting? My super score is just shy of a 34.</p>

<p>Composite: 32</p>

<p>I am just where you are, except i have 1 point higher in math and switch my reading and science scores around with yours. I am trying to improve reading as well but dont know how :(</p>

<p>How did you manage to raise your science score so quick, OP?</p>

<p>It is really hard (at least for me) to do the reading section because its almost like you have to force yourself to read it by the time you get there. So I usually read the most interesting or shortest passage first to get my mind warmed up, and then I go for the harder (and longer) ones. I also do not necessarily answer the questions one passage at a time, which helps me get more right (I think). The only problem with this is that you have to pay really close attention to the question # you are answering so you do not screw up the answer sheet. This is not a problem for me, but I can see how it might be for some people.</p>

<p>Also, I always read the questions first, since they are not in order of the passage like they are on the SAT. That way, while I am reading I can bracket a section I know pertains to the reading. Saves some time so you don’t have to go searching when you read the questions again.</p>

<p>And the real time saver for me, though, is that I circle all my answers in the book and then transfer them to the answer sheet. This is also not for everyone, but instead of looking back and forth from the answer sheet to the test booklet constantly, I memorize for or five answers at a time and just put them on the answer sheet all at once, instead of glancing back and forth in between.</p>
