SAT I (suggestions for raising scores)

<p>I didn't do as well as i had hoped. For those of you that got a 2100 or higher, how did you study for the test?</p>

<p>The first time I took the SAT, I got a 1920 (620 cr, 630 math, 670 writing). I retook during this October session and I got a 2220 (680 cr, 800 math, 740 writing) for a 300 point score increase. I am being completely honest with you when I say that the only studying that I did for this test was reviewing the math section out of the PR SAT book the night before the test. When I took the test, I treated it as sort of a joke because I thought I had done better on the ACT. Ultimately, what I think made me do much better was that I wasn't stressed out at all for the test. I would recommend that you prepare for a couple of weeks before your test on the sections that you are shaky on and then just relax for the few days before the test. Maybe review a tiny bit on one section the night before. But the whole week before the test just convince yourself that you are going to pwn the SAT. In my opinion, doing well on the SAT is all about your state of mind. I know that sounds really cliche but it worked for me, so maybe it will work for you :)</p>
