Hi everyone,

I am currently a senior and I'm worried that I won't be able to go to my dream school which is UCSD. Last year my Junior yr., I took the SAT and the Act but I did poorly on both of it.

SAT 1: 1200
2ND retake of SAT:1100 (my tutor in princetonreview told me to just focus on the easy and medim part in the math section and just don't do the hard ones but instead of getting a higher score, I got a lower score instead)

ACT: 16

I am going to retake the SAT the third time this october. However, I need suggestions on what I should do to guaranteed myself on getting at least 1800. This is my last chance and I really want to get a better score.

Thanks for your time and I really hope someone can give me suggestions that will guarentee myself to go to UCSD.

Thanks and I would love to hear some suggestions to improve my SAT this October testing.

note-Nothing will "guarentee" a person to be accepted to UCSD, as even top scorers get rejected.
Buy a SAT book with practice test (blue book, Princeton review's 11 test one) and do a test every week or even twice a week
improving from a 1100-1200 really shouldnt be hard at all, you just have to stick to a plan

That wasn't very good advice.

Everyone I know who's used pr has had their scores pretty much drop.
Get a review book and start studying your butt off.
