I've run out of SAT practice material :( and I still haven't reached my goal

Test Preparation

<p>Please don't say I've hit a limit I feel so dismayed I just want to give up.</p>

<p>My first SAT practice tests I consistently scored 1850's but through rigorous work and vocab memorization I have finally brought it up to the 'just 2000's </p>

<p>i.e. 2020 </p>

<p>I'm on my 9th blue book practice test. I have finished Kaplan, I've done Princeton practice tests and reviewed all my incorrect answers.</p>

<p>My score ranges:</p>

<p>Math: 700-760
CR: 570-630
Writing 600-650 (essay 9)</p>

<p>I have one practice test left. I just keep making repeated mistakes especially on writing sections (the plural/singular noun verb agreement and idiom choices are the most difficult).</p>

<p>I know all the grammar rules so it's so frustrating.</p>

<p>What should I do? I take Jan 25 international test.</p>

<p>I have plenty of time, but limited resources. </p>

<p>Thanks :-)</p>

<p>Get the online course. There are a bunch more tests available there. Also, don’t do any more Kaplan or PR tests. Stick to the CB.</p>

<p>When you review the tests do you understand enough so you could get a perfect score if you took it again? If not, spend more time on reviews.</p>

<p>Focus on your weak areas and don’t do entire tests for a while. Kaplan has books for writing and CR specifically. Buy those, read them, and then do practice questions. Key to doing well in SAT is to review mistakes and practice more of those kind of questions. There is no value in doing entire tests if your scores are stuck. My S followed this approach and got a near perfect score.</p>

<p>^^There’s also little value in practicing questions that were not created by the CB. If you dig a little, you’ll see there’s a consensus on this site that practice problems should be limited to a single source - the CB.</p>

<p>I do agree with chuck on the focus part.</p>
