Hi everyone,
I’m currently a freshman with big goals. I live in Cali so my dream school is UC Cali-Berkley (or Stanford). Consider that I’m a non-native student, I’ve been living here for almost a year but I’ve been learning English since I was 3, so all of my grades are high and I don’t have any problems with school work and etc.
I’m so much worried about the SAT and I’m mostly concerned about CR, vocab, writing and grammer. I would do anything to improve. I’m okay with 12 hours studying, I need to get at leat a 2000 AT LEAST!!! also I don’t have much time!! right?
Plzzzz help me and give me some tips! I have to achieve what I dream of and that is the only reason that I moved from my country! Helpp! Thanks
@asaltb You’re a freshman. Unless you are taking the SAT within the next 2 months or so, you should focus more on doing well in your HS courses first. Read lots of English-language books and articles.
PS: Other than the February makeup date, the new SAT is out of 1600, so a 2000 is technically impossible.
Start with reading, if you’re keen on prepping for the SAT’s. It is much more difficult to find a score increase here. It looks like you’re super motivated, so that helps. Start reading lots, and early, and do plenty of practice exams.
Good luck! Also, taking the ACT’s might be a good idea. Reading is a bit downweighted, and lower scores can be averaged out, if you’re looking to get on the upper spectrum of scores.
