<p>This has been the general trend in my past 4 practice tests:
M: 770-800 / High 600s
CR: 690-710
W: Low 600s / 790s</p>
<p>Every time I do well in math my writing score drops, and every time I do well in writing my math score drops... This is preventing me from getting a 2250 (my dream score). Before you ask these are official tests. Has anyone had this problem before? If so how do I fix this?</p>

<p>You might want to work on your endurance.</p>
<p>I’d recommend drilling on full length practice tests (including the essay). If you finish one section early, go immediately to the next section. Take a 3 min break after every 3rd test.</p>
<p>I’ve also asked my students to drill with significantly less time. Do 25 min test in 15-18 minutes. Push yourself to go through all the math sections and writing sections without a break (alternating - M, W, M, W,M, W) You scores might temporarily go down, but it usually strengthens the length of time you can keep your focus.</p>
<p>Then go back to taking the tests normally with normal time and normal breaks.</p>
<p>I do a similar thing where I go through the test under 20 minutes with a maximum of 30 second break in between each section. I clearly know the writing rules because when I go back through the ones I miss, I get the answer correct on my second time around on all but 1 or 2 of them.</p>
