<p>I took the test January cold (except taking the psat twice) and got a 2190 (cr:790 m:770 w:630 9 essay) and I also plan on taking it again June. Assuming I don't study until school gets out (early June I think) what kind of score increases can I expect? I think I can get a perfect math, but it just depends on if I misinterpret a question or not again. I was surprised by both my CR and w scores, I basically expected them switched. I doubt I'll do as well CR next time but I'll superscore and I was just wondering how anyone else improved their writing score, the essay or MC portion because, on paper, this should be the easiest 800, and even a 730 would make me happy. Is this feasible and how much studying do you think it would take?</p>
<p>The writing portion of the SAT is basically your ability to 1.) know every rule about grammar and sentence structure 2.) be able to recognize grammar errors with limited time and 3.) write a good persuasive essay… If you know don’t know all the grammar rules, learn them. If you know all the grammar rules, practice recognizing them quickly. Also, learn the tricks that the SAT uses to lead you into choosing the wrong answer. As for the essay, you should just be able to create an interesting intro, develop 2 strong examples, refute the opposing argument, and make a short but powerful conclusion. Good luck!!</p>
