Hey man!
Good work! I find it somewhat worrying that your scores on writing vary this much. Is it because you haven't graded the essay section?
How's your math coming along? Do you find that you're making mistakes on the same kind of questions? Either questions testing the same concepts or those of the same difficulty level?

Unfortunately, I've really been struggling with writing lately. I missed 9 MC and made a 5 on yesterday's essay. I don't know what's going on. I usually miss 0-2 MC at most, but I've been missing 5-9 lately. I think I'm over thinking questions or something. I'll probably reread sparknotes 7 deadly errors and silverturtle's guide again. I also need to work on my essay, which I Haven't focused much on in a while. I'm going to do a few new practice sections and stuff and I'll update later on today. Also, reading has been slightly improving. I'm still in the 610-670 range.

I went back and looked at the stuff that I missed. I figured out that idioms get me a lot on the writing section. I'm going to review that stuff after I do some prep. I'm going to do a few reading sections, the 2nd Gruber's math test in the workbook, and a mach essay. I'll post the essay on this thread if you guys want.

Update (1/2): Hey guys, I made another thread for the essays portion of the writing. If you guys have practice essays that you did for a test, want to critique or read essays, then check it out here: Grade and give constructive criticism for the essay above you.
Update (2/2): I have 4 tests left out of the Bluebook. I'm planning on taking test number 10 tonight, and working on sections of 1 this week. This Saturday and Sunday will be mach practice tests. This means that I'll wake up and get ready at 7:30 a.m. and try to simulate real test situations. I'll update in a bit about the score breakdown for today's practice. I took a Barron's this morning and scored a 630/800. eh.

i know ive said this but i will say it again.
i hate how you cannot know your absolute scores towards the later parts of the BB tests. it's extremely frustrating- of course I'd like to say that I'm at the higher end of the spectrum.
anyways....

I'm pondering whether or not I should sign up for 3 SAT 2 subject tests or the SAT 1 again in November. I'm worried that I won't break 2000 in the next two weeks.  | |

In a bit of a dilemma guys. Pondering whether or not I should buy the PWN the SAT book. Would you guys recommend the PWN the SAT book? It's $30, which is pretty expensive, but I'll buy it if it's worth it. Has it helped you guys any in terms of score improvement?

@ Haphazard
If you feel you will not break 2000 in the next two weeks, I think it
is okay to consider doing the SAT I again in November. The only thing in this case is that you will have to apply RD to many schools, you must also have a form of mental guarantee that you will do well in the Subject Tests in December. As for "PWN the SAT", if you do decide to do the SAT I again in November the book should be worth it.

Guys, I just ordered PWN the SAT with two day shipping and signed up for the November SAT! I'm nervous, but it is what it is now. I'm going to sign up for the SAT II subject tests tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't be able to apply to BU's 7 year MD program, which I've wanted to do for a while now. I'm going to finish my homework and hit the books in a bit.

Update: Bio, physics, Calc homework. Afterwards, I'm going to start going through the SAT CR Bible. I have yet to open up this book. Definitely more Direct Hits and mach essays today. If you guys want, I can post the essays on this thread and we can have our own grade/constructive criticism sessions.
