<p>ok...so here's the deal. i am a junior and i've taken 2 SAT I's so far, with one more coming this march... </p>

<p>first score (soph)
CR-780, M-780, W-690 (10 writing)</p>

<p>in between was PSAT, which I ended up doing quite well with 237 (80 for M and Writing, with 77 for CR)</p>

<p>thus i thought i had writing portion in the bag for coming SAT on december, but....</p>

<p>second score (december of junior)
CR-800, M-800, W-680 (8 writing)</p>

<p>i don't know WHAT i can do to prepare...formula writing is so hard to get into in such short time...</p>

<p>argh...it's so discouraging. moreover, i don't know how this multiple-test-taking thing is going to affect my college application... :(</p>

<p>All I need to do is bring up my essay score (MC is around 750-760 so with good essay, i have a good score)...</p>

<p>ADVICES?</p>

<p>Here's an exciting news!</p>

<p>Writing section is very easy to prepare. BUT it's really easy to do poorly as well. For instance, I got 53 on Writing on my PSAT WITH prep this year. But on my SAT, I had 71 on my raw score. So, what did I do differently?</p>

<p>A. I made sure I answer every question
B. I focused on my best sections first (Improving Paragraph, Improving Sentences).
C. I did all the easy ones in Identifying Sentence Error and guessed the "unsure" ones.</p>

<p>Simply..Find your weakness in the section and learn all you can about it. Then just practice perfection on other two and hope to do well.</p>
