SAT 1700, how to get 2100+ in 4 months?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>CR 450 (Vocab Problems + Needs about 5 minutes more to finish a 25min section)
Math 700 (Mostly Silly mistakes and 1 or 2 not familiar math definitions)
WR 550 (Sometimes does not understand the sentence and cannot concentrate on the test)</p>

<p>I will take one on October (in 2 and a half months)
and another one in December (4 months and a week I guess)</p>

<p>My goal is CR 650 Math 800 WR 700</p>

<p>I keep making silly mistakes on Math and really,
I cannot concentrate on the entire test and that is why I got 1700... wish I could concentrate.</p>

<p>Right now I'm reading Silverturtle's guide.
And yeah, read 10 pages and got distracted again.</p>

<p>First of all, is my goal enough to reach in 4 months?
How should I schedule for my SAT on October and for December?
Also, does anybody have a great tip to concentrate?
I study for 20 minutes and get distracted A LOT! I HATE myself</p>

<p>if you get distracted every 20 mins, sorry bro, you have to set a more reachable goal.</p>

<p>To answer your Q, yes it is possible, but it depends on how well you study and how much time you’re willing to put in to achieve that goal.</p>

3

<p>Yup, I actually get lower score since even in the actual test I get distracted.
It is good to know that my goal isn’t that impossible…</p>

4

<p>I have the same problem. but i got better at CR by practicing. It all comes to practicing and setting yourself up one day to study constantly for a certain amount of time.</p>

5

<p>NO probs dude. You can reach it. Even I am working on it. All you have to do is keep focus, strive on. Know where you are getting wrong, redo the wrong ones again and again.
And keep yourself in a schedule.</p>

<p>Getting to an 800 in anything probably requires a little luck as well as skill. Getting your math to or close to 800 and your writing score to 700 is certainly possible since four months of intensive practice should significantly improve both your math and writing skills. Increasing your CR score from 450 to 650 in four months is another matter. Reading and understanding a difficult written passage and them correctly answering subtle and ambiguous questions on it is a skill that is probably at least partly innate and is definitely developed over a lifetime of experience doing it and it is unlikely it can be changed much in four months. You may improve your score in CR but do not be disapointed if the increase is nowhere 200 points.</p>

<p>I increased my CR from 540 in Jan 09 to 680 in Nov 09 so it is possible.
It is is much easier to increase from mid 400s to mid 600s than from mid 500s to high 600s.
I believe if I was lucky enough I could of scored low 700s .I scored several times in the range 690-730 on my practice tests from the BB just before the real test.</p>

<p>I’m seeing these replies and I’m just glad most of you are doing well. With me, when I tried doing the PSAT’s, I took it three times and got the same scores. I even tried taking the SAT and got a low score. It’s been three years since I have taken it in, I’ve been in community college, doing year rounds. I’m going to be studying it starting in two weeks. My question is, how do you figure out the pattern? Is there a pattern to these tests?</p>

9

<p>There is indeed a pattern. Try to identify the mistakes you are doing. FOr example my mistake is that I guess too much in CR, which is costing me a lot of points. And I see that if I had not got so many wrong I could have manages to go into the 600 range. Thus I am working on it, improving my vocab and all. Any decent practice book or tutorial book like Barron will clearly give you the pattern and the tactics of doing well…however it is up to you to implement those.</p>
