<p>Alteregoo,</p>
<p>What grade are you in? What was your first score? Is English your second language? I confess my son did little else besides take some practice tests. He got a 67 on the PSAT in October but got a 790 on the CR section in December. He’s done the SAT enough (took it twice before high school and once in high school) to become familiar with it. </p>
<p>I would encourage you to get a really good SAT prep book and really try to understand what they are trying to teach you about grammar. Vocab’s a little harder. Do you read a lot? Good readers generally do better on vocab. You could take the word of the day by college board. You could borrow a book on SAT vocab from the library. Flash cards sound like a good idea if you have time and dedication.</p>
