Hi, all.
I took the December SAT and got a 1480 (Math: 790, R&W: 690)
I got the 790 after studying only math for 2 weeks (from when I got Nov SAT back to date of Dec SAT) and had a 110 increase from a 680 on the Nov SAT.
Should I try to do the same with R&W and get at least a 1500 or 1550 superscored?
The avg SAT for the honors program is a 1460.
All comments would be appreciated.
Okay moskert I think your sat score is above average already but in my opnion u should take the test in the summer so you have time to study and do khan academy to improve reading and writing. GL
Any advice @skieurope ?
Something that really helped my reading score:
I printed out practice exams and just dissected them. I took the reading portion in the allotted time, then I went back before looking at the answers and spent hours forcing myself to find the correct answer, until I went through the entire section and justified every single answer by rereading the text and looking for the most specific evidence, and eliminating every answer that wasn’t explicitly supported by the text. Then I checked my answers, and if any were still wrong, I spent even more time trying to understand why.
Reading is different than math, and to me this technique helped me improve my score from a 670 to a 780.
