<p>Ok, I have about a 650 in both math and CR and am having trouble breaking into the 700 region for both. I need some clear-cut advice or a study guide that I can follow to make that leap. I'm taking the SAT in May and really want to break into the 700s, but don't know how to get their. A study plan would help me map out exactly what I need to do or need to hit in order to get my desired score. Thank you</p>
<p>Study the SAT Math bible. I was in da same situation and this book really helped me.
For CR, keep practicing and try different approaches to the passages like reading the questions first.</p>

<p>is that the one with the red cover?</p>
<p>For CR, i’m not exactly sure how to improve because I like the method i’m using. I’d think that if anything using a new strategy would do more harm than good.</p>
<p>No. Math bible with the blue cover</p>
<p>OP are you sure you can do better on the SAT than the ACT? Some schools require SAT subject testing, and often accept the translation score between SAT/ACT.</p>
<p>Are you a HS junior?</p>
<p>Good luck focusing your energies in the right direction.</p>
<p>Yeah im a junior, and no I really didn’t think about taking subject tests or ACT</p>
<p>Loper619 be sure to properly evaluate the schools you want to apply to (including in state safeties) and plan for the subject SAT testing you might need and make sure about the deadlines. Do not focus so much effort of getting better on one test (SAT), that you overlook taking at least once the ACT - and planning the school application and scholarship process. </p>
<p>Automatic scholarships are great, and some states have Hope Scholarships - look for those requirements.</p>
<p>My DD had a critical need to get her ACT score up - she had her major decided and in-state school decided - all paperwork in and admitted early. So her first sem of senior year was tutoring for getting the score she needed. She was successful and it meant a big jump in her scholarship level. </p>
<p>Try to focus your efforts so you do not miss the boat for your goal (which may be) to get to the school you want studying what you want in the most cost effective way. Your true cost constraints may be try to get to best school on your list.</p>
