<p>So I am in dire need of help (again). I have been doing so many SAT practices, but my score is not improvising much. I am stuck between the 1700-1850 area. I am kind of (very) desperate, so can anyone please explain what's going on?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Try changing your approach. I was trying a critical reading method published here on CC and found myself still stuck between 550-600. I kept practicing this method, hoping that with practice a higher score will come; however, with hours and hours spent, my reading score didn’t go up and I decided to try another method – my own. I tried attacking the passage not as people have said works best but in a way that feels most natural - I started getting 600-650 a modest improvement, but an improvement nonetheless. Now what’s keeping me from breaking 700 is vocab - I get 5-8 Sentence completions wrong out of 19 (I think its out of 19, correct me if I’m wrong). </p>
<p>If changing your approach doesn’t work - or you know that your method best suites you already, try taking a practice test completely un-timed. Give yourself an unlimited amount of time to answer the question. This will show you whether timing or technique is the problem. </p>
<p>If all else fails - you should know that 1700-1850 is a respectable score and can get you far.</p>
<p>@Jimmmmmmmmmmmm I hav the same prob too! I’m stuck in the 2000 area and my CR is a huge prob! 
I’m changing the way I attack the psg by the methods in 2400 in 7 steps by Shann Patel. I scored 140 higher in the nxt diag test i tried but still remain the same scores with other prac tests. (like the ones in PR 11) help!</p>
<p>Bump 10 char</p>
<p>Never give up. Every high sat achiever including me ( 2100) at some time we didnot improve. When i scored 2000 in practice tests i couldnot improve it for at least 1 month and i got desperate many times but i got back up and fought once again until
I scored 2100 in my sat exam. Learn your mistakes and learn why you did it and how to avoid them in the future and i promise in time you will improve</p>
