Hey Guys,

I am giving the SAT in June (2015), and in the practice tests I have been doing, I have been consistently scoring in the 580-640 range for both CR and Writing, with my CR almost always about 10-20 points more than my Writing.

My main problems are the grammar questions in Writing (the essay is not too bad), and the long passages as well as the hardest vocab questions in CR. I always make 5-6 mistakes in both of these, sometimes more and end up with a low score.

I really need to get 700+ in both of these sections if I am to get into a decent US college; do you guys have any tips on how I can improve? I have been learning words from thecollegepanda’s 400 word list and Direct Hits.

Thanks!
