Is it possible to break 2000 by October?

<p>Well..I just got my second SAT score back, while I was hoping to at least break 1900, i got a 1890-___- My scores are as follows:</p>

<p>1st try, Dec 4: (really stunned me...as normally i'm an A student)
510 Reading
660 Math
440 Writing</p>

<p>2nd try, June 4: (still not where I want it to be)
610 Reading
680 Math
600 Writing</p>

<p>My first SAT, i should've cancelled. As i misbubbled on writing section...only got a 440. and 1610 overall. Plus I did not really study. Second one, I only needed 10 more point to get a 1300 on reading+math...ugh</p>

<p>I don't know what to concentrate on atm, i want to make the early action deadlines for colleges, so i must take it by October. </p>

<p>I sort of know my weak spots, on math, it's just mainly stupid mistakes from not reading carefully, or punching the calculator wrong.(hating myself for that)
On Reading, well, IDK, i just felt like i'm mentally challenged for that part xD Doing practice over and over did improve it to an extent, but i don't think it's going to go much further.
On writing, I'm ok with the essay, although not great. I got a 8 for both times. But the grammar..UGH...I'm not a native speaker, and grammar is getting me EVERYTIME..I tried memorizing the rules, i tried doing practice, none seemed to have helped...</p>

<p>I really need your advises here,I really wanted to at least break 2000. I took the ACT first time in June and got a 29.25 composite, which rounded down to a 29(FML)...I will be retaking both of them. ACT in september, SAT in october. Should I combine study the two? Or should I separate? I'm also taking AP government and AP economics classes over the summer..so my schedule does not leave much spaces. </p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I think it’s best that you focus on EITHER the SAT or the ACT, not both. If you channel your time and effort into preparing for both tests, your score will no-doubt be lower than if you channel all your time and effort into just one of the two tests. Figure out which test you want to take and then prepare for just that one, and then you should be able to reach your goal if you’re preparing the right way.</p>

<p>Agreed with above^</p>

<p>Considering your short on time, spend a couple weeks seeing what test you’re ultimately more comfortable with and hyperfocus on it. I’ve heard of people taking your scores and going 2000+ in the amount of time you have.</p>
