What is the best tactic to improve SAT scores?

<p>Take the ACT. Seriously. While retaking the SAT’s is a really good idea, a lot of the time the prep doesn’t actually improve your score that much. However, I have friends who totally bombed the SAT (they couldn’t get 1800 after taking it 3 times with multiple prep classes), read one ACT prep book and did amazing. If your SAT score doesn’t drastically improve on this next test, you might want to look into ACT prep. (But seriously, 1910 without studying? Kudos! It’s quite possible that your score will improve with prep, and that whole paragraph was useless. ^^)</p>

<p>However, if you’ve already tried ACT and didn’t do too well, I’d buy books for each specific section, especially math. Also, I don’t know if they still publish them, but when I was in middle school I found some books that I really enjoyed that were novels with SAT vocab words. ^^ Lame, I know, but the stories were really good and I suspect they might have helped me later on.
