<p>Hi, what do you guys think is the best way to improve really FAST. I got a 1990 on my last SAT and I would like to improve to somewhere past 2050. </p>
<h1>1 is this possible by the november sat?</h1>
<h1>2 what is the best way to improve really fast and effectively?</h1>
<p>What are your weak areas? Or are you well rounded?
Do you have trouble with vocab… Get a high-frequency word book and conquer words you don’t know.
Reading comprehension… Read, read, read. Even with a short time left, it never hurts.
Math… Do practice problems again and again, and soon enough it will become second-nature.
Writing… Practice essay writing, the grammar and sentence correction portion is mostly developed over a long period of time so you can’t do much other than practice problems.
It really depends.
I’d say a 60 point improvement in 2-3 months isn’t at all out of the question.</p>
<p>Yeah…a 60 point increase shouldn’t be too hard…you just have to answer about 6 more questions correctly…</p>
<p>In my opinion, the grammar section should be the easiest to master. The SAT tests the same grammar mistakes over and over again. There is a post on this website that lists the most common grammar mistakes. Also, if you go to the grammar section of number2.com - It’s free but you have to sign up - they give you a very good lesson on grammar. With the lesson, and a few practice problems, you should be flying over grammar questions…</p>
<p>But yes, don’t worry, 60 points isn’t hard…I improved my SAT score by 110 points…from the PSAT…which is much easier than the SAT…and I only studied for like a week…because I used to be a procrastinator…</p>
<p>Yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem, even for the October SAT probably. I’ve been using some Grammatix techniques and tips from xitammarg’s posts on this board this past 1-2 weeks for the first time and even though in June I got a 570 in Math, just yesterday I took a blue book practice test and got a 620-680 (I answered 9 more right answers).</p>
<p>The only thing I did was implement some of the tips I learned from some Grammatix and another friend of mine and did a few full math sets this one week. Also, I had Kaplan and I found their list of 100 concepts at the end for math pretty useful, its good to use something like that as a refresher, what avik suggested for Writing might be the right idea too.</p>
<p>You can do it! :P</p>
<p>Well umm… writing is probably the easiest to improve in… just memorize grammar rules inside and out …and … The critical reading vocab is also easy … just study 5,000 vocab words then you’re set.</p>
