<p>@minhoforever‌ haha okay. I was guessing either Choi Minho or Lee Minho. </p>

<p>Anyways, if you need a tutor to pinpoint your weak areas and motivate you, then that’s the best option for you. I think the SAT is a very study-able test. I went from a 1500ish on a real practice test my freshman year to a 2280 when I officially took it (aiming for a 2400 in October). </p>

<p>My only advice is that for writing, get Meltzer’s guide. The grammar section is full of studyable rules. e.g the double preposition-- “The assistant took orders and answered for the president” is wrong in the SAT world even though the sentence is fine in the normal world. it should say “The assistant took orders FROM and answered FOR the president.” I looked at College Panda’s writing guide and it seems like a copy of Meltzer’s. Idk which came first so i guess you can get either one. </p>

<p>For the math, if you keep doing practice problems, you start to feel the rhythm of the section in terms of timing and problem solving. You get used to approaching level 5 questions in a creative way to solve problems. In my opinion, the math score is easy to boost with practice also. </p>

<p>^^^Good advice. Meltzer also has a good website:</p>

<p>I improve from 2090 to 2280 without a tutor. Anything is possible. </p>

<p>I’ll check out Meltzer then, but there’s one thing confusing me.</p>

<p>When I took a practice test from the official college board sat book, I only got 1-3 wrong on my math sections and skipped none so that’s somewhere close to 800…maybe 750-760? But on the actual test, I got a 660. I rember skipping three but that made me think that collegeboard’s tests are easier than the real thing? I don’t know, should I really rely on that book. </p>

<p>@ETonly‌ how did you study? Just practice from the blue book?</p>

<p>@fcallicotte nice thanks! I just have one question. How long did you have to study? Developing better reading skills must take a while right? </p>

26

<p>@minhoforever About a month to be honest. It didn’t take too long, really only one Jane Austen novel should do the trick and some practice questions from CollegeBoard, other than that you should be good to go!</p>

27

<p>@fcallicotte only a month? Great! That’s good news for me haha </p>

<p>I just started studying again and I’m doing sections from practice tests. I also saw that Direst Hits is quite useful, is that true?</p>
