<p>I'm taking the SAT in March...I already took it before. I had a 2080</p>
<p>My dream college calls for 2200+, so I would really like at least 2200 on my second try. </p>
<p>How do I go about improving my scores? I had 750 math, but how do I get 800? I don't really know my weaknesses there, every practice test is a little different. however, i usually get the level 4's and 5's wrong. should i practice only those, or should i practice everything just in case i'm thrown off by an easy question?</p>
<p>and how do i go about improving my essay score and my critical reading? i really want 700+ on both subjects, as that is the only way for a 2200+ IF I can get 800 math.</p>
<p>please help me :( i have only a little more than 2 months left!</p>
<p>i have:
barron's 2400 and math
PR 11 practice tests
college board old and new edition
gruber's reading and writing</p>
<p>i already completed most of the 11 tests in pr, and about 2 or 3 in the old blue book and new blue book. i also read over barron's 2400 and did most of the barron's math book...
what should i do to go about improving my score?</p>
<p>i haven’t been practicing for about 2 months, so i’m not too sure, but i might have gotten worse.
but before i’ve only been getting high 2000’s and 2100+…i haven’t gotten past 2200.</p>
<p>I can’t help you much on the math, as I only got a 690 there. But I got a 800 on both the reading and the writing, and my biggest tip there is to read read read! If you can get your hands on a book of either Winston Churchill’s or Abraham Lincoln’s letters or anything by Oscar Wilde( Important of Being Earnest, Dorian Gray, …) or Alexandre Dumas( Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo)- both all are very powerful, evocative writers. By reading your vocab score skyrockets, you get more accustomed to the antiquated style of excerpts that pop up frequently on the test, and your own innate sense of how to fit words together and write better increases.
I had put together a study sheet on the writing and sentence error sections about a year ago for some of my likewise really smart but math-minded friends. If you’d like a copy PM me and I can send you one.
