Helllo, I am going to take the New SAT again this October and I wish to increase my scores from a 1430 (720 M 710 R&W) to a 1550+. I was wondering how you all prepped before giving the New SAT. I didn’t take the essay last time either so have limited idea on how to approach it. Any advice would be great, thanks! I’ve also not been in the practice of writing essay for a year now so am a bit rusty there. Thanks again!
Hi, I’m also taking the New SAT in October. I’ve been using any New SAT practice books I could find at the library and taking a couple weeks to go through them. I have found that the Barron’s Reading Workbook for the New SAT helps my reading score. For the other sections, any book for the New SAT would help. For the essays, you could look online for sample essays and look over how they structured them. Good luck!
Thanks!
I took the June test and scored a 1510. To prepare I took a practice test the day before the actual test. I’m also planning on taking the October test, so I think I might take another practice test. Hopefully we can both get a 1550+. 
My best advice is to not stress out about it.
I’ve always been good at math, scoring perfects on both practice and real SAT for the old SAT so math wasn’t really a problem for me (though ironically I got a 790 on the new one). However reading/writing was terrible for me, never cracked 650 on the old one for either. The best way to study for reading is to do AP Language MC and ACT Writing practice. I kid you not, just by intesively studying both for about a week, 2 hours a day, my score jumped to 790 for Evidence reading for the new SAT. Good luck, hope you get the score you want.
What are some good books to practice the math?
@seokouji what material did you use and how did you study for language MC ?
I just searched up old tests online like http://www.anderson.k12.ky.us/Downloads/AP%20Lang%202007%20Released.pdf
didn’t need to buy anything. Same for the ACT. I didn’t really study for Language MC, just practiced it. Language MC was straight up brutal the first few tries, I think I got around 30-33 my first two times out of 52-54. But by the 5th test, I was getting in the lower 40s, which was more than enough to prepare me for SAT Reading, which is essentially a watered down version of the Langauge MC. If you take a look inside, you would find alot of similar questions, though the MC for language usually has much more ambigious answers in my opinion. Good luck!
Thanks a bunch everyone!
@seokouji I’m taking AP lang this year. Did you just take the practice tests, or did you revise them once you found out your mistakes. Also, I’m generally good in writing, but I just keep missing around 10 questions on the new test. usually, they’re the questions about “deleting the underlined part” or “where should sentence # be placed”… any tips…?
