Proven SAT study methods?

<p>Hello everyone. I have taken two SATs already, and I haven't really studied for either. I did a practice test and got familar with the format, but that is it. This probably seems stupid to a lot of you, but I was going through a bad time and didn't have the intiative to study.</p>

<p>So here are my scores:
March 2008
CR: 580 M: 610 W: 540</p>

<p>June 2008
CR: 620 M:560 W: 610</p>

<p>Anyway, I am in the top 10% of my class with a 3.6 GPA. I am not stupid so I know I can do a lot better! What I need from you guys is a very good book and plan that will help me break a 2000. I know I can do it despite the grades above. </p>

<p>I need a book that has been proven to increase your score, personal recommendations are very much appreciated! I would love a study plan or something to help me improve over the summer. I am looking for things that you guys yourselves have done that have improved your score. </p>

<p>Math is my worst subject in school and on the SAT, and I read outside of school all the time.</p>

<p>THANK YOU so much for any help!</p>

<p>Practice practice practice, especially for math. Know to “take pains”.</p>

<p>Get the CollegeBoard Blue Book and use those tests. I’m not exactly sure what’s good for math but for CR and WR, RocketReview is excellent.</p>

<p>It’s $13 at Overstock.com if anyone else needs it. I’m not even in my senior year yet and I’ve spent tons on review books for APs, Regents, SATs, etc. -_-</p>

<p>yes, entrancestone, that is the correct book.</p>

<p>Grammatix is very good for CR. Do alot of reading for CR too. </p>

<p>Math is practice but i dont know much about this, sorry. there was some amazing review book for math someone mentioned… but I forgot.</p>

<p>Writing is a very easy section to improve. Just review your grammar skills, and rules, and practice writing essays.</p>

<p>For all the sections, practice practice practice.</p>

<p>it doesnt matter what book you get…just take as many practice tests as you can (timing yourself obviously), and correct them, do it again</p>
