May SAT Scores

<p>@mindreader101 (why can’t I tag anyone? O.o ) First Of all whether you can improve or not depends on whether you have mastered the specific strategies of question answering. So i can’t tell if 2 weeks are enough . So if you are a grade 12 student . the only thing you can improve this fast is your writng MC . So how is your writing MC ? If there’s room for improvement , get the Ultimate Guide To SAT Grammar by Erica (PM and ill tell you where to find it ) and the grammar section in silverturtles guide ( Found online) . If you are in G11 however you still got time . Id recommend to take it again in october or something . Then ill have a lot to recommend to you. It doesnt mean that you shouldnt take it in june since it doesnt matter in Egypt on how many times you take it .(So June is up to you)
I felt the curve for may was just lovely cz I wasn’t expecting a 700 in cr .( we’ll not know if it was until the score reports are out) .From my 2 times i took the SAT i realised that one section is a bit harder than the others(this time math i guess ) , if you perfect that section the curve wouldnt be a problem :smiley: Feel free to message me ya 3am . :smiley: </p>

<p>@Micc I got a 2380, with 800 CR. Honestly, I’d say that your seventh-grader probably already knows the questions in this section, or will by the time he’s a sophomore/junior. It’s a matter of reading the passage and the questions really carefully, then leaving enough time at the end to double-check (triple, if you can) every question. This really helped me cut down on stupid mistakes.
I made sure to read each answer choice and know exactly what it was saying. For questions I wasn’t sure about, I used the POE method. I’d say that the most important thing is to never, ever make assumptions. I had to force myself to think about each question and answer choice linearly and only use the information I was given in the passage.
I’ve found that unlike math, you can’t really study for CR, except review some terms and vocab. This might just be me, but I think that it’s a culmination of everything one’s learned in English class. Most of the questions are based on logic and picking out relevant info from the passage, which cramming doesn’t help. I’d say to read a lot while he still can and build English and reading skills now, because he definitely will not have nearly as much time to do so when he’s in high school, especially when he actually needs those skills junior year.
To be completely honest, I didn’t really study for this portion of the SAT (math is my weak spot, so I focussed on that). I did some practice problems the night before the exam to remind myself of testing procedure and to practice my stupid-mistake-elimination method. I followed all the normal advice Saturday morning, and everything turned out fine.
Sorry if this is a bit long-winded. Hope it helps! Good luck to your kid. :)</p>
