<p>Hi, I know there are tons of questions like this on the site, but I feel like I want to have a personal answer considering that this is a big part of my life right now. I am going to be entering my junior year in September 2011 and I am planning on taking the SAT on October 1 2011. This is mainly due to the fact that I am taking a SAT course right now, so the things I am learning can stay fresh in my mind. I am currently only scoring 1990-2050 on practice SAT exams that I am taking. My goal, which is something that I MUST achieve is getting at least a 2300 by October. I know that the best way to achieve my goal by doing as much practice as possible and concentrating on areas where I am weak. The only trouble that I am having is getting near perfect scores on the reading and math sections, mainly due to the reading comprehension and pretty much the last hard questions on the reading and math sections respectively. I am trying several strategies, but none seem to be too effective. Basically my question is, is my goal possible to accomplish in 2 months and how can I do this as effectively as possible. Please help!</p>

<p>P.S. I have read Silverturtle's guide, I have the big blue book from cb, and I am awaiting for the arrival of the Direct Hits Vocab Book.</p>

<p>I went up 500-600 points this summer. Since your in the 2000-range, you’ll want to check out Barron’s 2400 or Kaplan 2400. </p>

<p>The questions in the books will be challenging. My advice? Never give up. Those two books are indispensable in the quest for a 2300-2400.</p>

<p>I have used the Barron’s 2400 book, but I don’t really like it. The questions are almost never on the actual practice tests. Instead, are there specific strategies that you or anyone else has that can help me with the hard math questions and getting more reading comprehension questions correct, especially the 2 passage ones. Thanks for the reassuring feedback though!</p>
