<p>I am currently a junior in High School and plan on taking the SATs this upcoming June, and also October. I took the SATs in February, but my reading score was only a 420. I have taken SAT prep classes, tend to study vocab, and do practice passages. But nothing seems to be helping. Any suggestions on how I can get this score up to at least the 500s?</p>
<p>Thankyou!</p>
<p>Read. read some more. I know someone who went from 590 to 720 by simply reading the practice books that use SAT words in context. </p>
<p>just keep reading. Read narina, harry potter, ender’s game, anything. THe more you read, the bigger a vocabulary you get and the better you are at guessing the context of the words on the passage reading section. Remember, you only need like 30 of the 67 to get a 500. good luck :)</p>
