<p>English is my second language, Spanish was my first but it’s not really an excuse since I learned English by 4th grade. I wish to have a 2200 by the SAT in October, my group of friends have all done extremely well, 2200+ on their SAT’s but I am yet to take them. I’m a junior right now taking the SAT’s in January but retaking again for October of my senior year.
Math: 760 (according to PSAT’s)
CR: 540 (according to PSAT’s)
Writing: 510 (according to PSAT’s)
Total: 1810
I plan on studying a lot of vocabulary because that is my weakest point as well as grammar rules. This summer I am doing about 80-90 hours of SAT Prep Classes along with self study of course.</p>
<p>It is possible!</p>
<p>Hi MasterYi I have only taken the SAT once so can not really talk about how much studying will improve your score. However, I know that the SAT score demonstrated by my<br>
PSATs was about 120 points lower than my first SAT score. I have many friends who had very similar experiences as well. Just something to keep in mind :)</p>
<p>i took the 2011 december sat and psat without studying and got an 1830 (58Cr 68M 57W) and a 195 (64Cr 74M 57W) I started preparing for my june sat about 3 months before it and ended up receiving a 2220 ( 720Cr 770M 730W) Ive helped many of my friends improve their scores and believe to have found some very effective strategies for improving your score if you follow them as I did. Its definitely possible and not insanely difficult. I took about 6 practice tests and was subsequently studying for the ACT which i raised from 30 to 33. let me know if you want more specific details. Im sure you can do it.</p>
<p>Hey Masteryi,
You have plenty of time to boost your SAT score up–esp after I read you had 510 in writing. The writing component, I believe, is the easiest to boost up because all you need to know is the 14 or 21–I forgot–basic rules. Conjunctions, parallel sentences, etc. With a lot of practice, your brain would be so used to looking at these problems that you would be able to pick out the mistakes out easily.
My friend–an international student-- was able 1400 SAT to a 2200 in 10 months in her grade 11th year. She started with 500 in both CR and writing. You can do the same.</p>
<p>In my case, I had to memorize more than 100 words a day. Altogether, it accumulated to 5000 memorized SAT words. This saved CR points as I did perfect in all the vocab sections. Right now, it gives an extra advantage in college writing.</p>
<p>I suggest you join a SAT institute to help you, as I did.</p>
<p>may i ask a question?
i learn about 100 words everyday from direct hits and hot words (barrons)
what else can i use to learn words?</p>
<p>klmn123,
Learning 100 words a day would not be as beneficial as truly learning 10-20 words.</p>
<p>@casualties
but i remember them! 
plus, i review them everyday -_-</p>
