<p>Hello everyone.I'm international student.I live in baku and I plan to enroll US university after 2 years.I have already registered for SAT for 9 october.I plan to get 1500.My straight in SAT is math.I can solve 80% of problems.I have Math Workbook, SAT(blue book) +official course.On last practice test I got 1200 points.My weakness is CR.I can't do nothing.Essay is straight.I get 10 points from 12 at least.What can I do to impove my score to 1500?
Thanks.
Suleyman.</p>
<p>Are you sure you can capture at least a 10 on the essay portion? You make dubious claim because your syntax, diction and grammar require a lot of improvement. Are you sure that your goal is a 1500? To which brand are you referring for Math Workbook?
Start reading a lot, if you want to improve in CR. Read with a dictionary to build your vocab at the same time.
Lastly, you seem to be rushing. There is ample time for a rising sophomore, a grade level I think you are in. :)</p>
<p>Yes.I know a lot of interesting facts about different topics. I have printed 700 pages of Jane Austen “Emma”.I have read 10 pages and 200 new words from it.But I still can’t do CR.I plan to buy “Direction Hit” but I cannot do it now.I have got BARRON’S Math Workbook. And I have got 3500 Basic Words (BARRON’S) High frequency and Hot words from Barron’s 2005.I plan to get 1500 at 9 of october, and in january 1900 and then SAT 2.I’m 15 years old and I’m 10-th grade.We have got only 11-th grade then Bachalaur(4 year).So, this is my situation.I’m bad with rembering words, but my staight is math, it’s my ace.As, I said, I read 10 pages and learned 200 words from it, and was very dissapointed with my CR results in Blue Book.And I lost encorage.=( Do you suggest continue reading “Emma” by Jane Austen?
Thanks.</p>
<p>For Writing: You can learn the common grammar errors and practice on them until you get familiar with the different errors.

<p>I think you shold you should aim for more than 1500 because you have the time to make major improvement especially that your initial score is low and you have a huge margin for improvement.</p>
<p>Don’t just solve the practice tests but also analyze all of your answers and discover the reason of getting wrong answers. This will help you avoid falling in the same mistakes and become more familiar with the SAT.</p>
<p>Just a small question: Where is Baku 
?</p>
<p>Zosilo,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Baku is in Qaukasus.Near the Turkey.On the Caspian Sea.You can see in Google Earth/Map.I hate it, that’s why I plan to enroll to US University.I plan to get 1800-1900 score and pass SAT 2( Math, Physics, Chemistry) and go to Montana State University.And my education will be free, because my parents cannot pay for my education.</p>
<hr>
<p>I have been preparing for SAT only for 3 weeks.And my first attempt in Official Course was 1060, then 1200.Now I want to impove my CR and WR.But what I try everything fails=( I don’t know what I should do.What I can do well it’s Math.Now I can get high score.About month ago I passed TOEFL ibt.And get 55 score.Now I made a progress, but no as much as I should be to pass SAT 1500.My general aim is 1800-1900 in January.
What you suggest to do to impove CR from 200 to 400 at least? I have got all tips of vocabulary and 700 pages of Jane Austen writings.</p>
<p>Zosilo,</p>
<p>What makes you prefer Sparknotes over my guide for grammar? (That is a sincere question. :))</p>
<p>silverturtle,
What you have?about grammar?</p>
<p>^ My guide (linked to above) has a grammar guide within in.</p>
<p>silverturltle; I have posted the link of your guide; however I haven’t still reached the grammar part. I’ve just finished the CR part. It is simply magnificent.THANK YOU :o</p>
<p>Oh, thanks. Well let me know what you think of the grammar part.</p>

<p>^ Suleyman, you can use this link if you want a PDF version of siverturtle’s guide.
I think you can achieve 1900 as long as you have the desire.</p>
<p>Good Luck :)</p>
<p>^ I should note that the grammar section is a bit hard to use with the PDF version because the example sentences don’t indent properly.</p>
<p>Zosilo, thanks. what can you suggest for CR?</p>
<p>One more question, you created this book by yourself?</p>
<p>^ The guide? Yes, I wrote it myself (except for the quoted portions), but I had it reviewed by several other CCers.</p>
<p>Others may disagree, but for now I think you should focus on mastering the English language. I think that if you can do that, your scores on the CR and Writing sections will improve as well. Perhaps you should read more books?</p>
<p>What can you advice to me for improving CR to 400 from 200?</p>
<p>hahalolk,
Problem is loosing of encorage.I read 10 pages and learned 250 words from it and no effect.The same situation.</p>
<p>are you scoring 200 in CR :eek: ?
that means doing nothing!!</p>
<p>If you are seeing no improvement in CR, I recommend you to bring tutor or take a teaching SAT course.</p>
