1610 SAT Score... How Do I Improve In 3 Months??

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took the January 28 SAT and scored a 1610 with the following section scores: </p>

<p>510 CR
560 M
540 W (8 on essay) </p>

<p>I did not study at all beforehand because I wanted to know how well I could do based solely on high school knowledge. Now that the scores have arrived, I would like suggestions on how to improve my scores for the June SAT. </p>

<p>Please only offer suggestions relating to free material, as I do not want to purchase any more study materials (AP materials for this past year have exhausted my funds towards school purchases). </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any suggestions!</p>

<p>Since you have access to the internet, the SAT question of the day ([The</a> Official SAT Question of the Day](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>SAT Practice and Preparation – SAT Suite | College Board)) is an excellent option. Since your funds have been exhausted, I would suggest using google to try and find various practice problems; if you have around $26 to spare (which you mentioned that you didn’t), I’d pick up the SAT blue book, since the best way to improve, apparently, is to practice.</p>

<p>it’s said that if your Sat scores varies 2 much （like1610 to 2100）,it will be counted. is that true？</p>

<p>This test is pretty important.
You should probably find some funds</p>

<p>You don’t need money to study for the SATs (nor the APs) as long as you have access to a good public library. Most will contain plenty of test prep materials that you can borrow for free, so I recommend getting some SAT books (Princeton Review and Barron’s are both good places to start) and working through their practice sections, and then do some practice tests.</p>

<p>Guys I just received my scores a couple of days ago. It could have been better if my CR score was higher a bit (I only scored 560). Do u know any useful strategies to raise my CR score to at least 650. I need to be exempted from the TOEFL score, and show my bf that I can read better than him =]] I plan to retake the sat in June btw,</p>

<p>You could borrow these prep books from the library.</p>

<p>Borrow prep books from the library and get paper from school. Or better yet: check out SAT prep books from the library and use a xerox machine at your school to photocopy any and all tests and prep sections you need to study. That’s what I did for studying for the SAT and SAT II’s. I didn’t need the entire “Official guide to all SAT subject tests,” I just needed a few tests.</p>

<p>Phil Keller has created a great video on how to self-study for the SAT.</p>

<p>post #11, google for free online SAT prep, CC does not allow me to post the link.</p>

13

<p>Use eBay to buy all of your AP and standardized testing study guides. You save so much that it’s ridiculous.</p>

<p>Also ask around for friends that have finished testing, they may be willing to give to you free. We give our prepping materials away.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I will try and get a copy of the blue sat prep book and use the collegeboard website to take practice tests. </p>

<p>Latichever- thanks so much for the website recommendation, I have signed up for it and will give it a try in the upcoming weeks. </p>

<p>Again thanks for everyone who helped me out here!</p>
