<p>I got a 1710 on a practice exam and I need a 2000+. I'm pretty good at writing, decent with reading and poor with math. 5 days. Can it be done? If so, how? Thanks.</p>
<p>how much decent?
i think for math you need to know why you lost those points. were the mistakes caused by carelessness or something. just make sure you never make stupid mistakes. it might help!</p>
<p>Get to work pronto. As MulanFa said, you need to understand WHY you got the questions wrong that you did, and then you need to work on fixing those mistakes. What kind of problems are you struggling with? If you can identify a pattern in your mistakes, you can focus your prep and possibly see a big improvement.</p>
<p>That said, 5 days really isn’t much time, so don’t bet your life on it. Luckily, you’ll have more opportunities than just the May exam, so you have time to hone your skills.</p>
<p>First, keep taking practice exams throughout the week, analyze what you got wrong and why. </p>
<p>Second, plan a way to relax the day of the exam. Stress will kill your score. After a 2000 practice test score (keeping in mind that I was hoping to get 2300+), I began to stress and my new practice scores plummeted. The day of the exam, I wore a shirt that I wear for all my big tests. It helps give me a mental boost and a little bit of confidence. I ended up with a 2400. If you relax a bit and stay calm, your score will jump at least 100 points.</p>
