<p>yeah, took the test ten times and my highest score is only 1900 LOL.
But I NEED another 100 pts by the next SAT.
Bt I can't even bring myself to sit down and do a damn test. I haven't done anything in 4 weeks.
P.S. I Hate math and despise that I have to study it over and over and over agan.</p>
<p>Well,keep your hair on!Like you,I'm a bit ***** at CR,never exceed 600. No need to do a lot of tests, just do 2,3 tests and then review them carefully.Ask urself why A is the answer and why not B,C,D??Try to understand the root of the problems.Even when u do 100 test but not review them,a result will be unchanged.</p>
<p>ten times! OMG! I would not be able to go through that</p>
<p>agree with tee8tee on the solution</p>
<p>^It not as badas it sounds lol.</p>
<p>okay. but no matter how many practice tests I do ( and correct afterwards) my scores remain buoyant at their current level.</p>
<p>You haven't taken 10 actual, official SAT tests, right? You mean 10 practice tests, right?</p>
<p>If you take the SAT 10 times the schools are going to think there is something seriously wrong with you. At some point, you need to accept your scores and just move on.</p>
<p>lol. It wasn't my free will that led me to taking the SAT ten times. My school "advised" me, as well as the rest of the school, to do that. I was plaining to explain that to whatever place was crazy enough to consider me.</p>
<p>Oh, my. 10 times?!?!</p>
<p>come on. It's not THAT bad! </p>
<p>maybe this isn't the best time to mention that I'm taking it again in may and june lol.</p>
<p>You're probably not studying effectively. If your math skills really suck, then don't bother with a prep book's math review -- get a math text and go through that.</p>
<p>math text? is that a typo ( as in: teSt). (or text book) lol!
am I missing something?</p>
<p>honestly, taking it every month is not going to look good for you (assuming you're a junior?). taking it in may and june means you signed up for one barely knowing the scores of the previous one, if at all. most schools won't even look past your first 3 or 4 attempts... work on the rest of your application and make yourself a well-rounded candidate. </p>
<p>plus, if you struggle to get the SAT score you want to get into whatever school you're aiming for, think about how much stress you're going to face if you get in there and have to work for hours and hours, while other students (who got your goal score on their first shot) can breeze through the work in an hour or two. don't overextend yourself... be reasonable.</p>
<p>I never really had a goal score, to be honest. I did what my school told me and took it every month, not really thinking of what score was good enough. But during the past two years, I've gotten an idea of what score I should aim for (2000).
Why so low? Well, maybe because that's what everyone else I know is aiming for. Plus, we all speak English as a second language, so an 800 on CR isn't exactly a realistic goal. And because, as I mentioned before, math has never been my strong point.</p>
<p>I'm a senior, btw.</p>
<p>How are your writing scores? If they're low, you can get major improvements rather quickly. Oh, yeah, and math is pretty straightforward to prep for too.</p>

<hr>
<p>What do you mean by major improvements rather quickly? How? I need to improve myself in Writing and I read that one standard english manual thing online and did A LOT of practice questions. What do you suggest?</p>
<p>Well, skateboard0924, I didn't prep at all for the writing section (I was surprised by the format and had to read the directions when I saw it on test day :P), and ended up with a 650 because I relied on my "ear" for most of the sentence error ones (which, as we've seen, doesn't work too well). </p>
<p>After I got to prepping for the May SAT, the first thing I did was open up to the writing section of all my (unused) prep-books and tried to learn all the grammar rules. More importantly, however, I learned what stuff the test makers are looking for. The SAT really tests a limited range of stuff, so as long as you know what to study and what to practice, then you should be set.</p>
<p>I've been doing practice sets from my Kaplan workbook and I'm finding myself having a much better time with the writing...I actually know exactly what I'm doing most of the time :) </p>
<p>So yeah, get a prep book, learn the material, then begin a lovely relationship with a workbook.</p>
<p>Hey stuck-on-1700, I would just screw the SAT and go onto the ACT. I think you have reached a plateau on the SAT, and I have a feeling you'll do better on the ACT--yes, a little green person told me so ;)</p>
<p>wait, so you're a senior and you're taking may and june? haven't you already applied to colleges by now? lol</p>
<p>I think the OP is a junior</p>
<p>actually, I'm a senior. lol
And I'm applying locally. Why? because local college education is free. And college education elsewhere isn't. The local deadlines are in mid August so...</p>
<p>Anyway, I got 660 in writing. But on the practice tests I usually get 750 and sometimes more
my highest essay score is 9 (which I got only once. I usually get 8).</p>
