<p>1570 to 2000+ is a huge jump. You made good gains in math and writing, so it appears that reading is where you need to focus. Use the search feature to read what others wrote about CR, and learn from that. Blue Book is the only book you really need. Do the problems, and dissect the tests. Try to understand exactly WHY you missed a question, as well as why you got it RIGHT. That’ll help you a lot.</p>
<p>Any 1 else … who could give me time line … tht i shud follow … 2 months only !</p>
<p>You should try to do as many practice tests as possible, closely simulating the real test with time and everything.</p>
<p>Even though you don’t want to, I would definitely take the ACT. Whatever your situation, THINK ABOUT IT! If you do badly, don’t submit it. If you do well, your anxiety about the low SATs will diminish. The SAT isn’t the right test for everyone. A 1570 -> 2000 will be incredibly difficult, but here’s what I would do:</p>
<p>1) Go to the library/bookstore at least 3 times a week and study their flashcards
2) For writing, going through all of the practice problems should help you get to at least a 550, if you truly try to teach yourself the grammar. Practice the essay as well using sample prompts, and you can post the essays you write on CC if you really want some idea of scoring.
3) For math, you seem to be at a pretty good level, but I would suggest trying to speed up so that you have more time to check. Use the rest of your practice tests, or again, go to the bookstore/library and use other ones (just record your answers on another paper) You don’t need to buy books to be able to use them.</p>
<p>Good Luck, and try to have some fun this summer. Having low SAT scores isn’t the worst thing in the world. Don’t let your parents stress you out, because you seem like the type of person who puts a lot of pressure on himself anyway.</p>
<p>BUMP … . .</p>
<p>Any more suggestions on how i can use my resources efficiently ?</p>
