<p>Can some of you provide some SAT study techniques to help someone increase their score significantly? Preferably something that could bring a 1520 (PSAT projected score) to at least 1900.</p>
<p>Practice practice practice.</p>
<p>get a review book, do lots of practice problems, study the concepts that you got wrong, and take lots of practice tests.</p>
<p>Although practicing using practice tests is important, I would say first you must study the concepts of whatever section is your worst. If you scored below average on all of the sections, first choose the one that you feel is your weakest. Then, get a review book that explains that section well (even if it explains the other sections badly). Read it through and do the practice problems within the section. Memorize any rules/formulas/concepts/steps to solving major problems.</p>
<p>For example, my worst section is math. I got the Barron’s SAT prep book because it has really good rules for math. I read through it, did problems, and tried to memorize the rules. I did not do practice problems but just learned the material.</p>
<p>Practice tests are great, but I would say that it’s also important to study the actual concepts in a logical sequence, being aware of what you already know and what you don’t know. However, it’s a good idea to take one practice test before you spend two months or whatever studying in case the PSAT was just a fluke and you actually know one section better than you think you do.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
