<p>ok, i have been studying for the SAT during the summer in preparation for the october SAT date. My 3 major weaknesses are</p>

<p>CR long reading esp questions about tone, inference, comparison</p>

<p>Math hard questions esp the last one or two, also i often have reading errors and i make stupid mistakes</p>

<p>Essay, just in general i cant seem to get above a 9 at all. i’m usually a very good essay writer but the sat just stumps me.</p>

<p>Any help on the above three topics would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Math: read every freaking question 3-4 times minimum, i cannot stress this enough. do not rush through a section in 10 minutes or else your score will get owned. write out every single step and check your work repeatedly. all depends on how much you want that 800.
btw, the “hard” questions can be solved with basic concepts from Algebra 2 and below. don’t be afraid to use your graphing calc.</p>

<p>Essay, good long examples with varied vocab (not everything needs to be a fill-in-the-blank answer. 5 paragraphs a must. Grammar need not be perfect if you want to see my essay search for post your 12 essay.
Math - know thy calculator, using this effiecently will save you time for those last 2 pesky problems.
CR - read the entire paragraph where the line they direct you. Ask youself, why is the author using this word choice.</p>
