Taking SAT in September, need a 200+ point increase, what to do?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey everyone. I am a senior. I took the SAT in june for the first time and I didn't prep (bad idea) and I scored a 1770 total (weak ik). I got a 530 m 650 cr 590 w. I know I can bring the reading up because It's my best, but I really need the math to go up and the writing. What is the best thing I could do for improvement? Tutor at my local learning center? Hire a local private tutor? Online guides? I will do anything to break a 1300 on my combined, but I only have a month -__- I should have started earlier, but I didn't think I was retaking it.</p>

<p>Additional info: I have extended timing (50% extra time per section) on the test due to documented learning disabilities, so time isn't a huge issue, but I usually need all the time given anyway.</p>

<p>200+ point increase in one month is really hard to achieve.
I suggest retaking in October or November.</p>

<p>Go over your score report and see what part is giving you trouble most.
For ex. is it algebra? Or statistics?</p>

<p>Do more practice tests and time yourself.
Afterwards go over the questions you got wrong and ask yourself why you got it wrong.
Is it because you were careless? Or did you not know a certain equation?</p>

<p>I didnt even know the SAT was administered in September…but the most important thing is to practice. So get the official College Board Blue Book and do all of those tests and go over the wrong answers (If you havent already). You can also get Barron’s for extra practice if you want.</p>
