<p>Im a rising junior in High school that needs to start studying for the SAT's. I took the PSAT last year for the 2nd time after taking it in 8th grade and my scroes were pretty Low.
CR: 490
MATH:510
Writing:470</p>

<p>I need to increse my total score to aroung the 2000's to insure me a spot into the colleges I want to got to. I was wondering what tips you guys have to increse my score by 600 points. The easiest subject to increse for me will be Math and writing. In those I mad simple mistakes and when I went back and went over most problems on line with ease I was able to ge them right. Any Books? any Tips on how to go about answering questions? Is the test really like a formula you have to learn to understand? Any topics I should study that are guarenteed to be on the test? Any help Is much needed? Thank You</p>

<p>@spellweaver04 shoud i buy a new copy of the BB or is a used copy just as good?</p>

<p>I think a new one will be better because a used one might have marks written in the practice tests. You need to the BB for the practice tests, so it’ll be useless if someone already wrote on them.</p>

<p>Here is a brief list of tips. Keep in mind that these worked for me and this list might not help everyone. But give it a shot.</p>

<p>CR:

  • memorize vocab from Direct Hits volume 1 and 2, Princeton Review’s Hit Parade, and Sparknotes’ free lists.
  • remember that ALL OF THE ANSWERS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE PASSAGE; don’t let your personal opinions get in the way!
  • instead of justifying why an answer is right, think about why is this answer wrong</p>

<p>Math:

  • PRACTICE PROMBLEMS
  • develop a list of typical SAT strategies, such as plugging in the answers </p>

<p>Writing:

  • know your grammar!
  • know the most common SAT writing errors and look for them every time
  • essay: try to fill both pages, pick two different and detailed examples, vary sentence structure, and always connect samples to thesis</p>
