<p>Hi, so I just got my SAT and PSAT results (I'm a junior in high school), and I was wondering what the best way is to boost my score?</p>
<p>On my SAT results from the last time I took them in December, I got a 1980.
640 in Critical Reading
670 in Math
and 670 in Writing</p>
<p>I actually did considerably better on the PSAT. I'm assuming this is because it was a shorter test and I got more sleep. When I was taking the SAT, I began to feel very nauseous towards the end of the test. Also, I forgot my calculator, which was really stupid, and caused me to omit a few questions on the actual SAT.
On my PSAT I got a 280.
67 in Critical Reading
70 in Math
and 71 in Writing</p>
<p>How can I boost my scores on the actual SAT? My ideal score range is 2200+, which I'm hoping is a feasible score. My worst section was passage based reading, which I found sort of odd because I always considered myself pretty good at that and I usually do really well on passage based reading on the AP Lang prep tests. I also have difficulty with those few random fill-in-the-blank questions that use very complicated vocabulary.
I don't really want to have to study hundreds of words if possible, nor can I invest endless hours of time in preparation. Of course, I know boosting my score by that much will require time, so I am willing to do a lot in prep. What's the best program that has worked for you guys? Should I work on my biggest problems with a tutor? Thanks!</p>
