<p>Okay, so I've been taking CB's online course and have gone through the blue book, but I continue to score in the lower 600's :( .. all math, CR, and writing. I see how almost everyone here scores in the 700s, I'm worried most about math, what are you strategies? What do you suggest? I mean most of the advice already on here is for those ppl who are in the 700s already, I need help just getting there.. how do you approach the sections? I'm desperate for help.. teehee:)</p>
<p>Same here, please.</p>
<p>oceans, don't worry. I recommend trying grammatix. It's very straightforward and gives you a specific strategy for tackling each section. </p>
<p>grammatix.com</p>
<p>I've heard some sketchy thing about grammatix about people not getting their hardcopies, or something.</p>
<p>Hmmm.... I just bought the downloadable version.</p>
<p>Grammatix did absolutely nothing for me. I ordered it primarily for CR but ended up throwing it out after a month of hardcore studying. I decided simply just to read any sort of periodical (Economist, Time, Newsweek, New Yorker, etc.) for exactly 1 hour a day. I did this from June until the October SAT and I saw my CR score rise from 540 to a 720.</p>
<p>Review. It is the only way. Get out your blue book. Review each problem you did in a practice test. Yes, even the ones you did incorrectly. I think collegeboard.com has explanations for them if you take the online prep course. very helpful. I used to get like 6 wrong in cr. Now I get only 3 wrong. I also used to get like 12 wrong on writing mc. Now I only get like 3 wrong for that too. Quite helpful.</p>
<p>Im sorry, I just dont see how reading the news everyday helps you on the sat.. I mean, sure, youre reading skills go up, but those questions are not really measuring your reading skills, even though they claim to be. </p>
<p>For the CR section, you can easily up your points simply by learning vocab. Mostly just clues, like prefixes, roots, negative/positive words, etc. Especially the roots, practice guessing what a word means by what other words are inside of it </p>
<p>Math idk.. if its possible, plug your answer in ur calc and check it a lot of cetain ?s come up on like every test, learn those </p>
<p>writing hmm I know the Kaplan book im using shows like basically the ONLY twenty things they test with those questions..thats been really helpful to me because you know what to look for instead of just reading each question blankly. Im sure whatever book/website youre using includes that </p>
<p>what do you guys think about RocketReview?? keep the advice coming! :)</p>
<p>I have RReview, but to be honest, I haven't opened it since the day that I purchased it:-</p>
<p>hahah same here.. I'm debating whether or not to use RocketReview or Grammatix (I bought both) anyhoosers, how do you guys approach the sentence correction portion of the writing part??</p>
