Increasing my SAT score? Impossible?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I took my first SAT in June 2010 without studying and received:</p>

<p>Critical Reading: 430
Math: 400
Writing: 500 (essay: 8)
Total: 1330</p>

<p>I was highly disappointed.</p>

<p>After studying more on my critical reading and math, I took it a second time in October 2010 and received :</p>

<p>Critical Reading: 470
Math: 410
Writing: 500 (essay: 7)
Total: 1380</p>

<p>I was still highly disappointed. I wanted to reach a 1500 or higher and I was very hopeful. Everyone was comparing their scores and saying they got a 16 this or 17 that or 15 that. It seemed that I had the lowest score ever. I felt dumb.</p>

<p>Now, I plan on taking the December SAT for the last time and I want to score at least an 1800. When, I told my friend that I planned to study all this month and my goal and how I wanted to try harder, she deemed it as impossible to drastically improve my score THAT much. She said I should try to get about 500's in each. I've also talked to my AP teacher and she recommended the ACT saying that I might do better in that. </p>

<p>I want to study at least 5 hours a day, after homework, except Saturday afternoons.
I also want to focus on one every 2-3 days and do a full on practice test on Sunday mornings. So far I've been studying my math, with breaks, since 4 (It's now 8:30).</p>

<p>Do you think it's possible? I think it is if I tried...
Also, do you happen to have any advice for me or websites I can go to to for help?</p>

<p>Hahaha…wait…why are you laughing?</p>

<p>Keep studying, and make sure you study RIGHT. (How to study can be found on the SAT forum)</p>

<p>Also PLEASE try the ACT. Some kids do drastically better on it.</p>

<p>Btw, I increased 600 points and am still increasing… and in a single month I increased 400 points (learned my grammars)</p>

<p>Thank you and I plan on taking the ACT a week after :)</p>

<p>Forget about the SAT and take the ACT.</p>

<p>No. Try an ACT practice test NOW because you are potentially wasting a ton of time on the SAT</p>
