<p>Last year (sophomore year for me), I made a low psat score (156) because I didn't really focus at all, I mean I ended up cricling random answers because I wanted to rest for alittle while, I didn't check any math rob opens, and I for sure didn't even care about writing. In the blue book, I average 740 and 700-710 in critical reading and math respectively. For critical reading, I don't usually miss questions because I didn't understand the problem, or I didn't know what the answer was -critical reading wise I do well. I miss it because I don't know a word (vocab). I've been studying roots for words a lot lately, and I plan on getting the essential 300 or direct hits and tackling those. In regards to the math, I know atleast 95% of the concepts, if not all of it. I usually end up making one or two mistakes that I can usually catch early now that I've worked abit on my timing. I usually make around a 18-18-14 leaving usually the last two blank(or guess). I plan on going through my wrong answers and doing them. (Please keep in mind I did some of the blue book math sections in June but I half efforted it, didn't correct mistakes, or checked over my work). For sat grammar I have Erica meltzer's book "ultimate sat grammar guide" or something like that. I also have the college board sat course.my writing score hovers in the mid 500s to high 500s</p>
<p>Here's a quick summary (not that I need one as that's not long) of my study plan.
-Sat blue book, check all wrong problems via khan academy/college board
- Erica Meltzer's grammar book
- daily critical reading work, either on line or in blue book
- essential 300 vocab words, will remove ones I know and tackle the rest in groups that I'll rotate weekly
-offical college board online course, work all quizzes, lessons, and correct mistakes
-now, I'm considering Dr.chung's math 50tips, but I feel there's varying opinions out there. What is yours? </p>
<p>With these do you think I can bring my score from my psat sophomore year and 730-710-550 blue book score to a 74-74-74 psat score and a 2150+ sat score? </p>
<p>Please note* I plan on taking 20 full length practice sat tests over the course of the year. </p>
