<p>I recently took the June SAT for the first time and scored 2120. Quite frankly, I'm disappointed with my score.(Math: 740 Writing: 700 Reading: 680 essay: 8)</p>
<p>Can anyone out who consistently scored 2300+ tell me what i can do to improve my scores, especially reading and the essay portion???</p>
<p>I took the test once, and got a 2350, but I can’t tell you much about the essay because I got a 9 on it (I expected as much). All I’ll say is that time goes by a LOT faster than you expect, so prepare accordingly by giving yourself less time when you practice.</p>
<p>For CR, remember that every single answer will have support within the text. Keep a clear mind and remember not to assume anything unless the text explicitly states it. And above all, don’t be afraid to go with your gut feeling; the bane of many SAT test takers is overthinking the questions and ultimately choosing the wrong answer.</p>
