<p>Any advice and tips to achieve a 1800 SAT score?? On the blue book college board one I got a 520 writing, 510 reading, and 590 math, don’t know how accurate it is, and took practice test 2. I haven’t started studying vocab, but my princeton review tutor made me flashcards which to memorize vocab in. Any tips to bring SAT 1800 and higher?</p>

<p>Average 600 throughout each section. Then you will always score 1800+ :)</p>

<p>In all seriousness, you have three different sections so you should treat each one separately. For the vocab, I suggest you learn Greek/Latin roots if you haven’t already done so.</p>

<p>Greek/Latin roots…for real??
I’ve just been memorizing the word list in the Princeton Review book and other hard words i come across while reading. Isn’t that enough? :&lt;/p>

<p>Learning the Greek/Latin roots minimize the amount of vocab you have to memorize because once you know the roots it’s easy to have the meaning of the word. But memorizing the vocab is a legit way of studying.</p>

<p>For the writing, more memorizing is needed, but this time, of grammar rules. Silverturtle’s guide of grammar has everything you’ll need for the SAT. And if you have a tutor, asking him for flashcards of grammar rules to memorize helps, too.</p>

<p>For maths you have to understand the basics they ask for and then do exercises. It isn’t doing one exercise, but ten or twenty until you can apply the basics to the situation asked easily and without wasting too much time.</p>

<p>But basically, to improve your grades you have to just repeat stuff. I’d say you could very easily do every practice test on the blue book, correcting them and seeing where you’ve gotten things wrong and understanding, and get 1800+ easily. As long as you practice.</p>

<li><p>Don’t study the day before the SAT and get good rest the night before. Eat properly on the day of the SAT (and any other day, haha!).</p></li>

<p>Good luck!</p>
