<p>I need loys of practice. I got score of 2080 in my first attempt. Would like to 2200 or 2200+ what practice books would you suggest. I finished blue book :(</p>
<p>Bump. I just bought Princeton review cracking the SAT. Hope it will be helpful</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t think self-studying will help you improve much. Get a tutor if you really want that score. Best of luck! :)</p>
<p>It depends on the student. Each person has a different studying style. Nevertheless, doing practice test is essential. Just do as many as possible till you reach a plateau.</p>
<p>Oh thank you! I had tutor for first SAT. But I am the only one with 2000+ among her students. And she is the only SAT tutor in our city. (I’m international student). My major problem is with writing section. Anything for impriving that section specifically? Please suggest some online resources. It costs me almost triple to order hard copies.</p>
<p>Improving that section*</p>

<p>More practice tests to print out. You could also search for SAT writing prompts to practice the writing section.</p>
<p>Other than the above link to the additional tests, another option is to subscribe to the 10 ten tests that collegeboard offers on their site as part of their online course.</p>
<p>Do the Princeton review ones (there’s a book with 11 practice tests and no lessons)
And try to find the ultimate sat guide download for the online cb tests</p>
<p>Have you gone through the answers to every blue book question? They provide detailed explanations online at the College Board website – you should understand exactly why each incorrect answer is wrong. If you need help with understanding on Writing/Grammar, get Meltzer’s book and review the concepts and then use the practice tests provided – they are the closest to the real thing out there.</p>
<p>My D went through 5 prep books including the blue book before her first SAT.</p>
<p>Studying as well. My strategy is doing a section of a practice test eah day, and then completing a different practice test at the end of finishing each section (4 day cycles). I addition, I’m taking the six week veritas prep course in NY. It’s supposed to be pretty helpful. Even if you can’t get to one of the courses, you can order the workbook (look up veritas sat on Amazon and the title should go along the lines of “cracking the sat in just seven steps”. It’s different b/c it doesn’t give explanations on what the test is on but rather lots od tips and strategies to help get a better score (realllly helps for the essay/writing section).</p>
<p>Try to buy QAS tests.</p>
<p>Why are people recommending doing Princeton Review tests? I thought it’s established long ago that one shouldn’t be doing practice tests from Prep Companies?</p>
<p>I went through 11 PR tests before my first attempt. They are really helpful. CR sections are great. I would solve only one section every day. It has very useful vocabulary questions. It’s harder than actual SAT But it’s good.</p>
<p>I suppose practice always helps. I’d love to hear it from perhaps xiggi’s perspective he seems really knowledgable in this area.</p>
