<p>I would work on vocabulary because the rest is just concepts. Vocab is the only thing that you HAVE to have memorized in order to get all the questions right without relying on chance.</p>
<p>I think Vocab is by far the easiest section; if you read at a decent depth (not asking people to read like Summa Theologica or etc.), such as Pride and Prejudice, Ulysses, 1984, periodicals, and etc., you should have no problem getting every single vocab question right. I had no problems with vocab this time around or in Grade 7.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the specifics of the test are going to be DIFFERENT by your junior year. They are re-doing it starting next year. I would say study for the content (that won’t really change) but don’t get too engrained in strategy, most of it might be useless by the time you’d need it. 1500 is the nationwide average, top state schools are around a 1900-2100, and the ivies, top LACs, and second ivies and tech schools (Stanford, MIT, Caltech, UChicago, Duke) will demand at least 2100 plus, comfortably in the 2200-2300 range. You can absolutely study up from where you are, the SAT tests your ability to study a specific subset of content until you know it back, front, and upside-down. It has very little to do with actual academic success or intelligence. Best of luck!</p>
<p>I got 22 on the ACT in 7th grade, which is equal to about 1530 on the SAT.
I’m a high school junior now and I have a 2340.
Moral: You’re fine.</p>
