<p>I got my results today and it is amazingly abysmal. I had a much harder time doing the Math II and I got even higher scores than the SAT I Math.</p>
<p>I got CR 540, Math 590 and Writing 500.</p>
<p>I've only got about 4 test dates to go and I have to take subject tests, so I really need to know how to improve my scores to at least 2000-2100.
This was my first time taking the SAT and I used the blue book and Barron's 2400, but is there a way to improve them? (Granted I did just start studying about 10 days before but now I'm trying to go long term and see how May is going to be like.)</p>
<p>(Didn't help that we had a bad proctor who never gave toilet breaks, kept going outta the room and worst thing was his phone kept ringing, dear Lord.)</p>
<p>It's hard to answer your question, because it's like asking "I did poorly. I need to get at least this score. Tell me how to do it."</p>
<p>It depends. You should look at your scores and what questions you got wrong and right and think about why you answered the question wrong. Then take measures so that it won't happen again. If you don't have a copy of the test, use one of the practice tests you took.</p>
<p>Try to look at every question you got wrong until you know what you did wrong, why the correct answer is correct, why the incorrect answers are incorrect, and how you will use this to your advantage next time. Try not to make the same mistakes again.</p>
<p>That's generally a good idea. More specifically, read the newspaper. This helps you with reading skills and it's a good skill to have. Learn whatever grammar you're not understanding. Learn the math you're not understanding. Learn the vocabulary you're not understanding. Most importantly, go over an old test until you know exactly what you did wrong and fix what you did wrong.</p>
<p>I pretty much agree with everything said above. I also follow the same method, that is, doing practice problems and looking back at the ones I got wrong and figure it out. Speed is one of the most important factor. The more practice you do, especially on math and grammars part, you will see that problems are really similar. By the way, I started with about the same score as you do, but I was able to raise my score to 2100 by doing countless practices and building speed. </p>
