<p>I got a 1800 on October SAT i dont know *** happened. I need a 2000+. I think its possible. But wat should i do. I take a practice test every Saturday. I have 2 weeks left. I am taking it this December. Last chance i am a senior! How do i get the 200 points! help for vocab i am studying Word Smart. MATH i should get a 800 i have done freakin calculus 2 and SAT Math is a joke in front of that however i still got a 650 makes me one drown my self :(. </p>

<p>I really need help in writing! suggestions?</p>

<p>BUMP plz need advice from you guys out there!</p>

<p>First off, school math classes are nothing like SAT 1 Math. Learning the types of problems for the SAT 1 math is crucial. Just like you, I have gotten a 5 on the AP Calculus got 800 on math 2, but did poorly on the SAT 1 math at first. Be sure to try and do as many practice tests as possible to get yourself exposed to different types of problems.</p>

<p>Practice tests.</p>

<p>Azngamer54 for math the thing is i know how to do it. I dont know how i got a 650 on the Oct test. However on practice tests i make mistakes like i found x but they were asking for 2x etc.</p>

<p>I got the same problem. My practice tests cant cut the 680 baseline. And I am worried. December test as well (:</p>

<p>Same problem here. I DID practice and learn all the types of questions, and still got a 670 on the Oct. SAT.</p>

<p>My only advice is to move onto the ACT. I studied all summer for the sat and got 670 M, 640W and 700CR. I know, pathetic.</p>

<p>I then was like might as well give the ACT a try and i ended up with a 32Math, 34English, and 32 Reading</p>

<p>first time i took them in may i got 600M, 630CR, and 720W. in october i got 710M, 670CR, and 700W. so the combined for colleges went from 1950 to 2100.</p>

<p>i didn't study much over the summer, did a couple practice tests. in september and in the first week of october i made some vocab flash cards from the list of the most common 1,000 SAT words (just picked like 40 from the list). i didn't study at all for writing since i was happy w/ my 720, but i definitely studied for math. </p>

<p>for math i focused on the sections i did poorly on, mainly probability (HATE it) and instead of doing full practice tests i just did the math sections.</p>

<p>hope that helps</p>

<p>Thanks smr15. Yes i think i am better off with ACT. I got a 29, only did really bad on English w/ a score of 22. however i plan to retake ACT in Dec. But first is SAT.</p>

<p>My next question is for writing again. Is there a list out there that lists ALL possible errors on SAT. Cause they just repeat over and over.... i am kind of cathing on. Got a 700 on my last practice test, that cause my grader gave me a 6 on my essay. However i still need that list</p>
