<p>On the most recent practice test, I got:</p>
<p>Math: 800
Reading: 450
Writing: 470 / 7 (ran out of time for the improving paragraphs and only finished 3 paragraphs out of 5.. lol [graded from this SAT class I'm taking])
=1720.</p>
<p>I'm a freshman and I really want to increase each of the verbal to 600+ because I'm willing to apply to a magnet school (called TJHSST) for my sophomore year only if I increase my scores. I took a practice PSAT and I got a 62 on that one..so I'm not really sure where my writing score stands.
Anyways, I have the Barron's SAT 26th Edition and I happened to have Kaplan Critical reading (4th edition) and Peterson's Critical reading & writing (2nd edition). I'm currently working on Kaplan. What other books should I work on afterwards? I'm looking forward to practicing more problems (but also receive explanations). I also have lots of word lists to study from so I'm working on that too.</p>
<p>How should I improve reading comprehension and tips for grammar (like I know most of the rules but I can't recognize them..)? And what books should I get?</p>
