Hello everyone, I took the October SAT and scored a 1310 as a Junior I got a 590 on the reading and a 720 on the Math. I improved from a 630 PSAT math to a 720 SAT math. Now, I have an idea of the kinds of problems I missed on the SAT math portion and what I should do to resolve them. I think with a little more practice and review I can get a 750+ on the Math. However, my SAT reading score has hardly ever improved since 10th grade with an initial score of a 550 on my PSAT to my now current SAT reading score (590). I’m aiming for at least a 700 in reading. How should I go about this? Thanks! I’m planning to take the SAT again in March.
Do you have good test-taking strategies for the reading portions? The strategies are not at all the ame as for the math portions of the exam.
Do you need to speed up your reading?
Are there vocabulary issues?
Have you always had relatively lower reading scores on standardized exams (your counselor should be able to access results of testing from elementary and middle school)?
Have you carefully evaluated the types of errors you make in the reading portions when you take practice SATs?
