I need SAT Writing and Reading help.

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>i decided not to do prep classes because i heard they're a waste of money.
i got a 680 on the reading
i got a 640 on the writing :(
that killed my overall score. i expected higher on the writing. as for reading i wasn't surprised to see a 680.
my math is fine. i got a 760 on that.
i'm a junior and i just recieved this. i 'm going to retake it in fall.
but i need a 2250 or above. and i know doing that is really difficult. but i know that the writing is a lot easier to improve than the reading. so please help me!! i just want a 700-750 on the reading. and a 750 or above the writing.
please reply! thanks.</p>

<p>well my essay was pretty bad. i got an 8 out of 12 :( but i don't know why that happened. i take AP english. and i get like 8 and 9s all the time on my essays.
so i need suggestions for my essay.
as for the multiple choice. i don't know what happened,. when i took the practice test i got like 750s and above. and i always gave my essays 4 out 6 on the practice ones just in case i do bad.
and i have noticed that on the practice tests i always miss questions from the improving sentences questions.
and usually one from improving paragraphs.</p>

<p>i kind of zoned out in the middle of the reading sections.... i tend to do that a lot. i did that on the PSAT but i got a 70.... then i just start skimming then everything gets confusing... then i just yeah....</p>

<p>Do you have a sample essay I could read? I could then point out specific areas to work on for the essay section. If you have trouble with improving sentences, then take some time to do extra review of [SAT</a> grammar rules](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/w/grammar-rules"]SAT”>http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/w/grammar-rules), then do some focused practice. You can also read this and rethink how you approach improving sentences questions: [SAT</a> Writing | Improving Sentences - The Approach - ■■■■■■■■](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/w/improving-sentences/approach]SAT”>http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/w/improving-sentences/approach)</p>

<p>For critical reading, it sounds like your main problem is losing focus. First, I would suggest you make it a mental point to carefully read the first and last sentences of each paragraph. Second, I would recommend writing down on your test the main idea of each passage. This will help keep you engaged with the passage.</p>

<p>PM me if you have any questions…I hope this helped!</p>

<p>sat essays are way different than ap essays…</p>

<p>ppl have told me repeatedly that there are 3 things you need to do to get a decent score on the essay</p>

<ol>
<li>fill both pages … with nonsense…with anything, you can even write big!</li>
<li>use some “big” words… just words that may seem impressive to the grader</li>
<li>come up with several “universal” examples from literature, history, personal experience, etc… that can be applied to anything</li>
</ol>

<p>well and then just write a decent essay and you should do fine! i get 10s or better consistently if i do this… thank jebus for standardized testing!!! :D</p>
