Is this feasible? Tips and help please (PSAT, ACT, SAT)

Test Preparation
1

<p>Ok so I know I should've started prepping a long time ago.
I'm a JUNIOR and getting ready to take the PSAT.</p>

<p>Although PSAT is easier (Math only...right?), my score can wildly differ.</p>

<p>Ok so I'm signed up to take the SAT May 1st.
My scores really differn, on the McGraw hill tests.
All excluding the essay.
The first practice test i had a 1625
CR: 480
Math: 580
Writing: 865</p>

<p>The second I made a 1850.
CR: 580
Math: 655
Writing: 620</p>

<p>My goal is 2000 at LEAST, preferably 2100 or even 2200. I want a 600-650 on each section (at least). Please evaluate these seperatly (Meaning: Yes it's possible to get at least a 2000 but your not going to raise you CR score past 600 consistently)</p>

<p>Is this possible (for SAT)? I practice 2 sections a night, and on the weekends I try to complete a test or two.</p>

<p>Let's be brutally honest, but in a not so moral-breaking way?</p>

<p>My scores (especially in CR) really fluctuate (usually between 450-600, but I've made 350 and 750), but it's usually towards the lower end. Which is where I want to address another problem: Has anyone had their scores really stay inconsistent, I'll get happy when I raise my score only to see it drop 100 points in the next section or test. </p>

<p>If I put the medal to the metal (assuming it is already, I'm busy enough as it is) can I be a NMS? </p>

<p>Lastly, any (personalized) tips to help raise my score?
In any section, besides don't panic and read some moderately heavy stuff to raise my CR score.
Or I guess really: Things that worked very well for YOU that you can't find in things like "Up Your Score".</p>

<p>Merci Beaucoup, Muchas Gracias, Domo Arigato, Xie Xie, Salamat, Mucho Grazie</p>

<p>Im not sure about what you mean by “Math only…right?” but the psat has 2 readings, 2 maths, and 1 writing section-wise.</p>

<p>I mean, that only the Math section of the PSAT is easier.
I know it IS, but I don’t think the CR section and the Writing section are any easier.
Right?
I know it has 2 of CR and Math and 1 of writing.
Sorry about that, hope this clears it up. :]</p>

<p>McGrawHill tests? *** are those. Take SAT’s only from the blue book for a more accurate score prediction.</p>

5

<p>it doesn’t matter cause I’m scoring pretty much the same on those too.</p>

<p>Yes. It is possible. Given you only have two weeks left, I recommend the following regiment.</p>

<p>Go straight home after school.<br>
Finish your homework.<br>
Turn off your cell phone and give it to mom and lock yourself in a room with no TV, no movies, no video games and no INTERNET.
Study the prep material and take practice tests until time to sleep.<br>
Take an exercise break at least once every hour.</p>

<p>Eat well and sleep early the night before the test.</p>

<p>p.s. I believe people tend to score higher on the actual test than the practice test.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
