<p>I want to raise my score from mid 1600's to a 2,000 in about 4-5 weeks. Is it possible? I have three weeks of break time to prep. Please help me. I'm in dire need of assistance. I'm willing to put in the time and effort for good advice.</p>
<p>Get the OFFICIAL STUDY GUIDE and start to work through it diligently. Take time out and do 2 practice tests a week with test conditions and the timer on. Go through every problem you miss, the book has a website you can go to that has the explanations to each question. Understand what you got wrong and be sure to review things you are weak in. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. </p>
<p>Thoughtless ways to improve your score…(400 points to 2000 is gonna be tough, so be ready for an uphill battle)</p>
<p>-Find frequent hit word lists and memorize them (or get Direct Hits 1 and 2)
-Practice Geometry like a fool
-Make your essay as long as possible on the writing section—Longer=More points</p>
<p>Identify your weak area and work on it:
Did worst in math? Do LOTS of practice in each subject.
Did worst in critical reading? Memorize vocab words. It is also good to memorize prefizes and suffixes just in case you stumble upon a word that you do not know the meaning of?
Did worst in writing? Brush up on your grammar. Identify common mistakes you are making and polish them. As for the essay, (as drac313 said), make it loooong. Sound like you know what you are talking about. The prompts are pretty vague, so just explain as much as possible.
My suggestion: First take a practice test from a prep book (CollegeBoard’s is the best) in one sitting. Identify weak areas, and point out common mistakes. You can finish this in three-four days. Make a list of things you are missing, and remind yourself not to do them. Continue with this schedule for the rest of the time. On the last week, look over your list, and you are ready.
This is not impossible but it takes dedication.
Good luck!!
