<p>Hey guys! This my first thread that I've created CC. I just took the SAT The first time this June as a sophomore and my results are as follows:
Cr 610 < awful
M 750
W 590 < so non Asian
Composite 1950
I just wanted to know how to improve my cr and w scores. Im gonna be a junior this fall and I want to take it one more Time. I'm aiming for 2350+. Will taking ap Lang help my scores.
Thanks for the feedback!</p>
<p>Practice. A lot. Memorize a lot of vocabulary for the reading sections (it helped me increase my score from the 500s to the 700s). Learn the grammar rules, and after that just practice practice practice. That’s the only way to get better. </p>
<p>If you’d like I could send you some links that might be helpful to your studying.</p>
<p>And I don’t know about AP lang, but I hope so. I’m taking AP lang this year LOL.</p>
<p>gomdorri- Thanks for the advice. For the SAT, I got 16/19 for the vocab. but I only had 36/48 for the passages. what would you suggest?</p>
<p>For passages, just lots and lots of practice. I always thought that people who got 800s on the CR were inherent geniuses. It’s not true though.</p>
<p>When people say “you can find the right answer in the text”, they do mean that you can find the right answer in the text. If you find yourself missing some passage-based questions because you can’t find a right answer, then you are most likely reading the passage to quickly and missing the important parts (a lot of the time you can find the answers to the questions word for word in the passage).</p>
<p>If you find more than one right answer, decide which answer is most INCORRECT, not correct. If you try to make excuses for why one /may/ be correct, you’ll end up getting it wrong. That is what I did a /lot/. If you try to disprove something, then the POE goes a lot more quickly. </p>
<p>Some people recommend reading in order to improve your score, but I personally improve most through taking several practice SAT CR sections.</p>
