Godfatherbob, back off. There are a lot of factors in someone’s SAT score: saying that he or she has read “only 3 books in his or her life” is unkind. Public forum rule #1: Don’t be mean. Your advice is really good, but you are being too harsh on the OP. You don’t know his/her life.

Dchow, nice post: that’s exactly right IMHO.

OP, in general, the lower your score, the more important vocabulary will be. You should learn some words.

You should also go check out all the threads listed in dchow’s post.

Lastly, as dchow says, you must revise your expectations. I have seen plenty of kids go from 440-700, but none in your time frame. It usually takes 14 mos at least.
