Improving my SAT score?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello </p>

<p>I took the SAT in December and got a 1720 (520 M 540 CR 660 W E: 8). </p>

<p>Turns out, if I wrote a better essay I could've had a maximum writing score of 730, as I scored 43/49 on the MC. But I know I can score even higher than that, because I consistently score 47/49 MC on the Blue Book practice tests, giving me a 760 with a 10 essay. Moreover, I know (and have proven) that I can get a CR score of 730, ...but without the time constraints. The timing is what kills me for CR because I'm a slow reader. I've taken practice tests out of the CB Blue Book, and what I've noticed is that timed, I get around a 540 on CR; untimed, I score around a 730. I've been practicing the math section and now consistently score around 570, but am aiming for at least a 600. The only thing that's preventing me from getting a 600 on math is Geometry and the questions that involve graphed functions. </p>

<p>My goal is to score at least a 2090 (600 M 730 CR 760 W E: 10) by May. Does this sound plausible? Seeing as timing is the only thing preventing me from scoring in the 700's on CR and W and the lack of knowledge in Geometry and graphed functions is the only thing keeping me from a 600 in Math, what should I do? What prep book do you suggest for improvement in Geometry/graphs? Any tips for time management on the CR? </p>

<p>Thank you for your advice.</p>

<p>300 point increase is definitely possible. I went from 1500 to 2000 and I did it with about a month of regular studying. I would say that you should just time yourself for 30 minutes for the first practice session in the blue book. Then go to 29, 28 and so on until you can complete sections within 20 minutes time while getting the correct answers.</p>

<p>Make sure you look over the wrong answers each time and find where you found the answer. Over time you’ll be able to spot it right away. Good luck and hopefully this helps, it sure helped me.</p>
