What is up with myself?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So, first SAT i got 1440. Then, the second try, (with hard work) i got 1530. Then, third try (by completing 2 practice books Princeton: Cracking and this other book) i got 1640. </p>

<p>Is there a way to increase my score to 1800 or at least 1750?
I'm planning to take another test on November. </p>

<p>I got so mad, because i thought i'm gonna get 700-800 in writing, but because of the essay (8) i got 560, and i was really really mad. </p>

<p>Any recommendations? How do i raise my SAT essay score at least? Can you still receive a 10 or higher on essays, even if u use only personal experience?</p>

<p>Opinion why i get low score on the essay:
1. I always try to use books, even though it doesn't really fit into the prompt, although i know how to write essay in SAT format.
2. I'm not really good with structures.</p>

<p>Hey, can you give more information of how you improved your score from 1530 to 1640? My first sat was 1440 (without studying at all), then this one i got 1510 WITH studying. I studied math and writing only though- so I got 410 on the critical reading :confused:
i just want advice on improving? I took SAT lessons too, especially on essay.</p>

<p>I think that if you write the unexpected they pay more attention. and if you can prove the point they’ll be very impressed.</p>

<p>dont be upset with yourself. there is so much more to a student than just test scores. just the mere fact that you care enough to be on CC and asking questions about colleges and admittance shows you are responsible. keep working hard and the best school for you will present itself. Good luck!</p>
