<p>Can you guys help me and give me some tips about improving my score on the SAT overall??? </p>
<p>My reading score is about 500, but i want above 700...its frustrating
my math is about 750, but i want 800...lol
my writing section: 600, but i want close to 750</p>
<p>i have until december 2nd to improve...any suggestions??? thanks</p>
<p>With math, you're already up there, so you probably just need to get lucky and not make stupid mistakes. Reading is hard to improve, especially if you have less than a month... I find that the only reason I'm good at the reading section is because of all my cumulative reading over years and years. Otherwise, I guess all you can do is....cram? Try to be realistic with your score improvements.</p>

<p>writing is an easy improvement, just do a bunch of practice problems and keep track of your mistakes...</p>
<p>CR is harder, i increased my score 50-70 points from memorizing vocab and concentrating more on the reading passages</p>
<p>math, just dont make any stupid mistakes. work fast+efficiently and check your work if you have extra time</p>
<p>Study your mistakes! Especially for writing. If you <em>really</em> study the sentence correction stuff, you can ace it.</p>
<p>I had a super hard time with reading. Just make sure you do the scan of the passage (the first blurb part, first sentence of each paragraph and last sentence of passage) and make sure you have a good idea of what the passage is about from this scan. You should be able to answer most of the questions because you'll have a general idea of the passage, and then for the more specific questions, you're given line references that take you right where you need to (but make sure to read 5 lines above and below that line reference).</p>
<p>Just keep practicing--especially CR, it will pay off! (I just did TONS of passage reading and questions practice before).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I want your math score!</p>
<p>I've always approached the reading sort of intuitively. When in doubt, go with your gut instinct. I end up reading each passage several times-- once before reading the questions, once after, and again sort of piecemeal while I'm hunting for support to answer the questions. If you finish early, just keep reading the passages and verifying your support or... looking for more support? Haha, I'm not sure this will actually help, score-wise, but it puts me in a much better state of mind.</p>
<p>Barrons 2400. The so-called 'over-preparation' by many cc'ers is somewhat of a misnomer. As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as over-preparation for the SAT (as long as you don't pull an all-nighter studying right before). The strategies in Barrons prepare one better than anything else can, so its in everyone's best interest to pick up a copy a month or two before hand and a blue book to try out the techniques. </p>
<p>Worked for me. Before Barrons -> 2130. Post Barrons -> 2300.</p>
<p>thanks everyone.</p>
<p>400 points in 4 weeks? Ah.</p>
