SAT and ACT Prep! Help!

<p>I'm a senior this year, and I did the SATs last may and got 1790, CR630, W540, M620, which is not a good score.</p>

<p>I did them again October, without much preparation though i did a few practice tests.
I got 1840, with CR620, W580 and M630. </p>

<p>I have them again December and I also have ACTs a week later. But this week I have my school IB mock exams which are mega important as well which leaves me with one week worth of studying SATs and 2 weeks for ACT. What do you guys recommend as the best prep for me to get my score until at least 2000+? I know its too much to ask but I really need these scores!!</p>

<p>Get a Blue Book for the SAT. You can probably get one from your local library, or order one online. Do those tests.For math, I suggest looking up videos on YouTube to see how they solve it and see if you understand, and do it by yourself. Then move onto the next question. Do this for every problem. For Critical Reading, look at SilverTurtle’s guide on College Confidential. (Search for it in the search bar.) As for writing, I believe, there are many resources online, and thankfully for you, it is the easiest one to bring up because you can catch onto the rules very easily. I suggest looking writing guides up on College Confidential, YouTube, or Google in general. Try to remember those rules that they teach you! </p>

<p>The ACTs should be easy for you if you are a somewhat fast worker. They will pretty much incorporate whatever you learn for the SATs, but in a different format, so I suggest just studying for the SAT, and then doing the ACT.</p>

<p>Also, remember to do a lot of practice tests, and only do SAT practice tests only from CollegeBoard, and only do actual ACT practice tests made by the ACT company.</p>

<p>If you really want to achieve those targets, then you should pull up your socks and start your preparations now. SAT is not easy, almost all undergraduates take the tests and therefore the competition level is too high. You need good preparation.</p>

<p>Firstly, enrol in a trustworthy coaching classes. Since you appear to be a average in studies student, it is very important to have a strong guidance. Coaching centre is exactly for this. But make sure you go to someone who has both, the experience and knowledge. Where are you from? I can suggest you some centres. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>@IAmTheGoat thank you so much! i’m doing the blue book right now hopefully i’ll be able to boost my scores :slight_smile: and i’ll check out silver turtles! </p>
