<p>Currently I have a 1790 on the SAT I would like to get it up to a 2200 and I plan to spend a lot of time studying for the June test date. What books for each subject would you guys recommend. I do well in math with a 700 and I struggle in the other 2.</p>
<p>The Official SAT Study Guide and, given your goals, perhaps some personal tutoring</p>
<p>I already went through that book. Do you think I would be fine if I got Barron’s reading an Barron’s 2400? Or would Barron’s 240" be enough? I am getting private tutoring as well</p>
<p>Would barrons 2400 be good for me</p>
<p>I’m studying for the SAT in June</p>
<p>Depends. What have you already done to study. If you haven’t learned the blue book front to back, then I would say just work from that. You could also probably get a big boost just by learning a ton of vocab words and the grammar rules that collegeboard tests on if you’re struggling with those 2 sections.</p>
<p>Ok I’m going to start going through the blue book. What do you recommend for vocab sorry for so many questions</p>
<p>You don’t have that long, so you’re not going to be able to get a massive list under your belt (you must be reasonable with yourself if you’re going to use your time effectively). I would recommend using Direct Hits Core + Tough and plan on finishing it before your test date.</p>
<p>You really have to make a plan that you force yourself to follow without sidetracking</p>
<p>Your math seems pretty solid, but to make it tighter, I’d recommend using practice questions in 320 SAT Math Problems Arranged By Topic And Difficulty Level.</p>
<p>From what I understand, the best way to increase your overall SAT score is to improve on your math…</p>
<p>Kyle,</p>
<p>If you haven’t done the tests in the blue book - definitely the right place to start. Do tests out of there and focus in on timing yourself well on the passages - timing is not EVERYthing, but it’s important.</p>
<p>For a 12 or 13 question passage, try to spend about FIFTEEN minutes reading and answering the questions.</p>
<p>For the short passage sets, try to spend about FIVE minutes on the page.</p>
<p>Any other passage shorter than 12 questions give yourself one more minute than the number of questions. So for a passage with 7 questions give yourself approximately 8 minutes. </p>
<p>For the vocab, if you have an iPhone or iPod touch, try The Daily Word. It has lots of practice questions, funny sentences, and buzzes you with a high-frequency word of the day. It has a notecard builder you can use to study the words you need to learn.</p>
<p>If not, grab any review book, go through its word list, and start building notecards. Also, take any word you don’t know in the blue book, look it up and make a notecard. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
