<p>Hi, I'm a Sophomore and I took the Dec. 5 SAT..wondering if these are OK scores..I feel I could have done a LOT better, but quite a bit of the math I haven't learned yet, since the highest math I have received is Honors Algebra 2. Also, what do you think I should work on in terms of boosting scores for my next go around?</p>
<p>CR: 580
Math: 480
Writing:480</p>
<p>1540 is probably an average score in the nation, but the average on this forum is like… way higher. But don’t worry, because you’re still a sophomore, and you can still raise it a lot. If you’re IN Algebra 2 right now, then once you finish second semester, you have more knowledge. But I think the best way to prepare is to get a Prep Book for the SAT, and do a bunch of practice tests. That’s what I’m gonna do, anyways. Haha</p>
<p>Sounds good 
I kind of figured I wouldn’t know some of the stuff on the math portion of the SAT just because it is higher level math…as for writing…I think I should just practice speedwriting a half decent essay with a higher level English teacher.</p>
<p>Writing isn’t just about the essay. Study grammar patterns; that’s what will really raise your writing score.</p>
