<p>I have been consistently scoring around 2150. I have one month until the october sat, and I have really diligently been studying the Blue Book Tests. My scores are pretty much 740 Writing, 710 Math, and 700 CR. When, from your experiences did you get over that hump and start scoring 2250 +. Any advice on how to proceed in this next month!</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>wanna know as well</p>
<p>Just keep grinding.</p>
<p>Now, you have reached the point where diligently taking practice tests won’t be enough in itself.</p>
<p>In fact, it would be better if you take a break from the Practice tests. Take a look at all the tests you have taken so far. Look where you have gone wrong. Since you have taken many tests, I am damn sure you will have made similar mistakes, i.e., on similar questions or from the same concept.</p>
<p>So, sit down with a reference book (or Silverturtle’s guide) and iron out those areas. Beef up your understanding of them and improve your knowledge in them. After that, take your practice tests. See whether your scores increase or not.</p>
<p>I’d say your writing looks okay, but you still have to pinpoint your weakness (essay or MC). Math is a doozy, but you just have to keep polishing your techniques and skills. Remember that only a handful of concepts and principles are tested on the SAT. Work on these in practice books like PR, Kaplan, Barron’s etc. For CR, just keep analyzing and dissecting the types of problems you usually get wrong. For every type of question, there’s ALWAYS a systematic process of solving it. The SAT may seem intimidating but in the end, it’s only a collection of limited material. Keep in mind that the SAT is always conquerable, even when your scores seem to never improve.</p>
