Why the inconsistancy???

<p>I've been taking test through the PR, and I get the most inconsistant grades! It's very annoying.... I mean, I can't seem to do good in all the categories in one go.</p>

<p>Also, why hasn't my reading improved?</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Math      CR     Writing     Grammar     Essay
520       550       510          56        7         = 1580
630       540       610          66        9         = 1780
560       550       670          70        9         = 1780
630       540                    60                  = ?</p>

<p>Since I just took the most recent one today, the essay isn't in yet.
It's just frusterating..</p>

<p>My math has gone from 630 to 560 and then BACK to 630.
My Reading has just remained awful throughout (Help!!?)
The grammar, my strong section, just dropped 10 points. ***? So annoying/frustrating.</p>

<p>What could be the cause of this? I'm shooting for 1900's, but it appears I still can't even break 1800! :( I thought that FOR SURE, I'd break the 1900 mark this time.</p>

<p>Use the blue book.</p>

3

<p>Is that the collegeboard one?
And what makes that one so special?</p>

4

<p>It has real tests so you get used to them</p>

5

<p>I took real tests though, under a timed environment. They are all recycled questions from previous tests.</p>

<p>It looks like your taking PR's prep class. I know PR has possession of the actual QAS, but it's probably copyright law if they distribute those in their classes. Are you taking the SAT in October? You probably should have signed up for a better prep class or tried to study on your own.</p>

7

<p>Yeah I'm taking their prep class... waste of money.
I'm taking it in October yes... I'm great in math but I score fairly low on the SAT. I think I'm just ganna try to get this up to a 730 or so from a 630... that way I'll probably get around a 1900 or so which is fine with me.</p>

<p>What book is best if I want to pinpoint math?</p>

8

<p>I think practice and then analyzing the practice test is the best. I wasn't that good at SAT math, until I familiarized myself with it. The math is always the same, except with a slightly different question per test.</p>

9

<p>PR tests are garbage.</p>

10

<p>yea, I plan on checking the questions I got wrong.
Why are the PR tests garbage? Care to elaborate?</p>

11

<p>I took a PR prep class. My best results were in my last practice test... but most likely due to the fact that tutors give the easiest test last. </p>

<p>My PR prep class was not bad actually, I learned a lot of useful and new techniques.</p>

12

<p>Why? Because it's inaccurate.</p>

13

<p>they're pretty smart though you got to admit lol. all these test preps promise like a "xxx" point increase by the end of the prep classes, because they give out the tests in the difficulty from hardest to easiest xD</p>
