<p>Hey so my PSAT sophomore year was a 1750..eww and from then on my grades have increased for SAT's reaching 1940 even and then I took my first SAT Test this march and got a guess what, you won't even freakin believe it...I got a 1750!! WTH the exact same grade as my PSAT and I don't know why I'm not improving. :( I'm going to take it a second time this June and I want to reach the 2000's . PLEASE HELP ME FOR GOD's sake, I need this soo badly and it is like Kaplan and Princeton are no help. I don't know what to do. How can I get a 2100 my second time; I promise to study my butt off, but what schedule study plan is for me in this short time period till June and what do i do!???!</p>
<p>First off, you shouldn’t panic so much. I’d do the sections that I’m weakest in; if your weakest section is CR, then only do the CR sections from practice tests under timed conditions and CAREFULLY review every question, regardless of whether you get it right or wrong. For math, all you can do is go over some concepts and do as many problems as you possibly can. For writing, there’s only so many things they can test you on so read up on grammar rules from the Barrons book. That’s what I’ve done… I’m waiting on my scores :)</p>
<p>Are you using the College Board’s Official SAT Study Guide as part of your preparation or exclusively the materials you mentioned above? The products produced by Kaplan and Princeton Review do not adequately emulate the actual test and, accordingly, will not properly familiarize oneself with the true content.</p>
<p>i would just practice hard i guess. i took the sat once did relatively not that that bad, then did a bit worse the second time cause i didn’t prep at all, being super confident and everything. then i took it a third time after some prep and i did pretty darn well!</p>
<p>that’s just me though. there are people who can just go into a test and ace it without any prep. i envy them</p>
<p>My friends did Kaplan and went up a hundred points. It probably depends on your learning style. </p>
<p>Get a private tutor if you can. Take a practice section every few days, and be sure to time it for 1 minute less than that would be given on test day.</p>
<p>I don’t think tutoring helps that much–though as Tesseracts said, it depends on your learning style–and personally, I’m another advocate for just plain studying and taking tons of practice tests. Find out your weaknesses. Get the Blue Book (Official SAT Study Guide) with 10 practice tests in them, like mifune mentioned; they’re the most closely formatted practice tests to the real test.</p>
you made me feel much better.</p>
