<p>My SAT scores suck and I still haven’t started studying seriously although I’m sitting for the June test! (less than 3 weeks left!)
Today I sat and studied for 14hours straight tho. I got alot of practice on CR and maths, wer i score lowest.
If I keep studying everyday till the test at this pace, would it be sufficient to gain a general score increase of 550 points?
Is it even possible to increase my score by 550 points in such a short time period?</p>
<p>It is possible to gain an increase of 550 points, however, cramming would probably hurt you instead of help you.</p>
<p>Take it easy, but not too easy. Have a plan and study for like max 4-5 hours per day. Just get used to the test and well… practice, practice practice!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Is it probable?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Is it even remotely probable?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Do your best, and as the person above me said, cramming like a madman is not going to help you. An increase of 550 points requires longterm corrections and formations of study habits, such as regular reading. View the June SAT as a dress rehearsal and continue to study over the summer and retake it in October or November.</p>

<p>You seem to know a lot about RR CR methods. I bought the book and read the guide. I tried to apply them to passages but it seems I’m doing something wrong or maybe Princeton Review tests are not very good.</p>
<p>Could you please explain the RR or your method for CR in detail with examples, if you have time?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Ding ding ding ding ding! While that’s probably not the principal reason you’re struggling with CR, it’s best to use BB or other official practice tests to practice on. As far as RR’s and my strategy goes, I’ve posted bits and pieces of it in various other threads (I can’t remember precisely which). What really helped me was to go through the entire passage section of RR again and make notes on each bit of advice, carefully weeding out Adam Robinson’s pompous conceits. Then, rewrite or type these notes in a “chronological” strategy guide, an instruction manual. If you want, I can just copy-paste the one I made here, though it helps if you do it yourself, using your own words. (I tend to write down only those things I think I’ll forget, make up my own grammar, and, although I think I didn’t in this case, use Spanglish.)</p>
<p>Well the thing is that I don’t have anymore CB tests left. Also, I am very interested in this instruction manuel of yours. If you don’t mind could you send it to me please? My email is: <a href="mailto:quicksandslowly@yahoo.com">quicksandslowly@yahoo.com</a></p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>PRINCETON REVIEW BOOKS SUCK. OKAY!</p>
<p>and 14 hours. are you kidding me. Im not even awake 14 hours a day. actually i am. but still ***</p>
<p>jk</p>
<p>^that was the day b4 yesterday. today i just relaxed and did absolutley nothing. :p</p>
<p>It would probably be better if you did a bit each day, rather than 14 hrs one day and none the next…</p>
