I got a 1780 (my first try , international student) and I really want a 2000+ (will probably settle for a 1900 - mid to high 1900s that is) . I need the best study plan there is to achieve this and I need people who are positive to help me with this to achieve this goal. Please help Also post links on things I can read to help boost my CR score it was the lowest (580) . Thanks in advance</p>

<p>i started off at around 1800 and in 1.5 months i ended up at a 1980 on the March 2010 SAT. Here is what i did:
I used Barrons: How to Prepare for the SAT 2007-2008 (old, i know), i memorized all the concepts and tips and tricks and practiced them on about 2 Barrons SAT practice tests. </p>

<p>Then i just went on and used the BB (College Board Book) and took a test, then learned from the mistakes i made and went over BARRONS AGAIN. I repeated this process for all 8 tests in there. For the essay, don’t use Barrons. i went online and i memorized an essay format that i used on all my essays. I think a CC guy made it too, its called “how to get a 12 on your SAT essay” or something. I ended up getting a 10 and i wrote 1.75 pages.</p>

<p>Ok so basically i used Barrons Complete Guide and BB. I used this and got a 1980 from a 1800. I memorized about 40 “SAT words” in total that were from the Barrons “most frequent list”</p>

<p>I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO DO THIS. I just want you to know this is what i did. Here are my individual score: CR 600, W 660, M 720
i could have gotten a 750 for math but i read a root(25) as a normal 25 . =(
nyways, GLUCK</p>
