<p>okay so im taking the SAT in may... I sort of know what i have to do on V+M. Now i just want to nail the writing section! i just cant seem to be able to do that!!!! im at 660 with an 8 on the essay. I need a 750+, but preferably an 800... I know mostly every thing about grammar. Its just that I tend to overlook some rules etc.(stupid mistakes). do you guys reccomend that I practice then just check my mistakes? or is there any other piece of advice a fellow CCer would like to contribute to my path to glory (lol)?</p>
<p>P.S hows the Princeton Review 2009 book for Writing?</p>
<p>stick with the BB for now. practice all of the writing sections in there and analyze your mistakes. i bet by the time you're done with the whole book you'll be at least 700+.</p>

Princeton Review: 11 SAT practice tests

Kaplan 2400 version
Barron's 2400 version</p>
<p>If you get a 660 and have an essay of 8, means you got 44 in rawscore out of 49 possible. I did exactly the same, I got 660 and 8 on the essay. In my case I got 45 correct and 4 wrong, which is about 92% correct. So these questions that I answered incorrectly were only once of hard difficulty, meaning that in the end it is worthwhile studying the 2400 versions of prep books because they prepare you for tougher questions.</p>
<p>I got a 660 and an 8 on the essay as well. But you know what I did wrong? I waited until my senior year to take the SAT, therefore only leaving me a small window of time to prepare! </p>
<p>Although I didn't use it at much as I should have, I purchased Barron's and it is the bomb</p>
