<p>Creacher, if I were you, this is what I would do: you are pretty bright. You are in the top ten percent of your class. You have what it takes to get a better score on the SAT. I would say, you should probably take the SAT one more time. However, this time, you should switch up your study method. Be creative with the way you memorize words on your word lists. Get really amped and involved in the reading passages. Buy a College Board book and take practice test after practice test after practice test. The key of the SAT for Crit is to get inside the mind of the test-maker and once you have taken many practice tests, you can begin to feel what the right answer is. Overall, most importantly, just relax on test day, and believe in yourself. You can get whatever score you want if you study in the best way that suits your learning style and believe in yourself. You definitely can do better. Believe.</p>
