<p>Ok so I got a 147 psat which completely sucked. I am a spphomore and I plan to take the sat next spring. I am a 4.0 student taking ap classes in all my main classes. I have began preparing, and I do 1 exercise on the weekdays and 2 exercises on the weekends for critcal reading. I also need suggestions on sat writing books. I am strong in math im 2 grades ahead pre calc which im not worried about math. Im worried for critical reading and writing. What are good tips for writing and reading. I read about 2 hours a week and my teachers say im pretty good at writing essays. Another thing is how much time should I be working on sat practice? Sorry for grammar my annoying phone</p>
<p>Hi there, I’m a sophomore also and I got a PSAT score of 164(64M 50CR 50W), which to me seems unsatisfactory.
Instead of my saying of how I resented my score, let me help you out.</p>
<p>I suck at CR so I can’t really give you any advise but read novels; this is what I’m doing as of now. </p>
<p>For writing, one of my favorite sections as of right now, I suggest that you get the McGraw Hill’s SAT. My score of 50 has improved into the 60s range after practicing with this book. Last 2 weeks before over the Christmas break, I had taken a practice exam on College Board’s website, of which I did only the writing section, and I got a 630(64MC and 8 Essay).</p>
<p>For math, as you can see from my PSAT result is my strongest area, I suggest that you go to your local library and get the Barron’s Algebra and Geometry Review books and self-study them.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I studied for the ACT reading and my SAT reading improved from 640 - 730:P ACT is so much harder</p>
<p>learn the grammar rules and take a crap load of tests</p>
