Looking to Improve SAT score

<p>So i just got my SAT score back on thursday and although it wasn't terrible it wasn't what i wanted - especially considering the schools i am weighing (duke, rice, emory, cornell)</p>

<p>this was by break down
2160 total
math - 700 (idk how i did this badly, i qualified for the aime and i routinely got 800s on practice tests)
reading - 730
writing - 730 67 grammar, 12 essay</p>

<p>If i were to buy the barron's sat workbooks for each of these subjects do you think i would be able to get up to 750+ on each section? I know the barron's books are more difficult than the actual SAT but i feel that would prepare me better. Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>bump? plz i would appreciate any response.</p>

<p>Just take more practice tests. You missed 750+ by just a question or two on each section.</p>

<p>You usually get 800s on Math so just pay close attention and don’ fall for the SATs tricks. You wrote an amazing essay so just brush up some of the grammar questions and the Writing Section should be an 800 also.</p>

<p>I can’t help you with Critical Reading because I got a 680 on that myself hehe.</p>
