Hey guys!

I recently took the SAT Practice Test #3 and got a 1510, with a 800 on math and 710 on RW, with mistakes spread throughout R and W, but leaning towards R. How can I get this to a 1550+ by March?

If you’re looking for a free option, try the Khan Academy SAT prep. Helped me raise my math score by 200 points. (But don’t freak out, a 1510 is still an amazing score!)

Thanks! However, I’m focusing on improving my RW.

For me personally, Reading is the section I have the biggest fluctuations in. Even if you’re really prepared, it might just be the text that you’re not comfortable with (that can make a difference of 40-50 points).

One of my friends got an 800 in reading, and he mainly prepped with PrepScholar. Maybe that’s something you want to look into. However, they charge you $400 for signing up…

Any other tips???

Then I would suggest you use the “SAT Reading and Writing practice” section of Khan and don’t use the “SAT Math practice” section.

If you want a better RW score you should just ruthlessly grind Khan Academy problems and go over old exams you’ve taken to review your weak points.

Honestly though, unless you’re going for a 1600 or bust (Which I don’t recommend doing) your scores are pretty much fine. FWIW, The highest I ever got on a practice test was a 1490, then shot up to a 1550+ on test day, so a 1510 on a practice test is great. Maybe me and practice tests just don’t get along but just keep studying at your normal pace and get plenty of sleep the night before and you’re easily looking at a 1500+ score. Just my 2 cents
