How to improve sat scores

I score around a 1450 on the SAT, but I am one of the top student at my high school with over four thousand students. I had never made below a 90% in high school. How come when it comes to the SAT I keep sweating and missed so many question.
Some of my friends who doesnt try as hard got 1800 and 1900s.
PLease can anyone tell me how you raise your score or any true inspirational stories.. I am really depress over my score. I believe my life is ruin. Might have to work at walmart...

You being one of the top students at your school with that type of grammar really makes me wonder what type of high school you go to... but that's not the issue.

Considering you only use that type of grammar on the internet, I would say that there are a lot of reasons for why your SAT score was below what you wanted. Since you said you "score", I'm assuming that you regularly take SAT practice tests, but if you're talking about your score on the first SAT you ever took, it could largely be due to practice. If you hadn't practiced before, then you should look into it.

If you have, the only thing I can say is make you're not the best of standardized test-takers.
