Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I am currently a junior and I live in the Middle East so obviously i would be an international applicant for colleges. I am an asian which only makes life harder... anyway
I just saw my scores online and they are </p>

<p>CR 680 (93 percentile)
Math 790 (99- but i'm really mad about this one...I thought for sure i would get a 800)
Writing 750- multiple choice 70 essay 12 (99 percentile.. ***? don't get it...)</p>

<p>Apparently I really need to work on CR...
I would like to know
1. if I would have to take the test again to apply for Ivy League schools
2. How can I improve my CR score (other than read a whole lotta books. I am in HL english and i do fine...I guess i would just have to be experienced with a lot of problems.)
3. What are some books that are GREAT for CR?</p>

<p>Honestly I wouldn't retake. Since you're an international your CR-Score is good, the two others are almost perfect. I don't think your score is worth retaking.
However if you do, I can recommend you Barrons. It overprepares you though.</p>
