PLEASE HELP ME IMPROVE MY SCORE!!

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. I am new to College Confidential.</p>

<p>Anyways, I am a sophomore and I am taking the PSAT and SAT next year. My scores currently range between 189-207 in PSAT and 1890-1970. My math scores are always 72-76, but my reading and writing scores are ALWAYS between 59-65. Not to say that sometimes I do get a higher score, but I am never consistent. I am never able to pick the right answers in reading and I screw up in writing.</p>

<p>The problem I have is that in reading is that I can never pinpoint the answer. I read above and over the line reference, but I can't pick the right choice. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to SEE the answer. In writing, I forget to see the vague mistakes, so how do I see that when I am taking the test.</p>

<p>Overall, I am planning to increase my reading score to 65-73 and my writing score to 71-74. Can someone please guide me. I am a studious person and I am willing to do anything to get HERE!!!!</p>

<p>Obviously math isn’t your problem.
For writing: get Erica Meltzers SAT grammar book and read it cover to cover.
For reading: 1)read Krieger’s SAT book for critical reading 2) get a good vocab app like Knowji (levels 9&10) = 800 words and go through them a few times until you know them
The only other thing is to practice out of the Blue Book - do a writing and critical reading section at least weekly, and do an actual SAT each week during summer.</p>

<p>Keep in mind the new PSAT is this fall and new SAT is spring 2016 so above plan won’t apply when new formats kick in.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you for your recommendation. However, my vocabulary is really strong (I usually miss like 1 on the whole test) But what is your method for reading. I always understand the passage, but I can’t find the answer. Any recommendation?</p>
