<p>Hey guys and gals,</p>

<p>I’m new to this forum and i was wondering if you know any good methods to bump up your SAT score, and any study tips for studying alone? I went to a prep course over the summer and I kinda got my score up by 200 points or something, so i’m around a 1550ish ( yeah i’m a terrible test taker) and I can’t seem to progress from there. My GPA is alright (3.7) and I have some extracurriculars and after school programs and internships that I attended. I feel that I have decent credentials to enter a decent university, yet my low SAT score is what’s holding me back. I am currently a High school junior taking all advanced courses, so i hope that will be something good. I try studying 2 hours every other day after my homework, yet I feel that I’m coming up short with it since when I review my problems from a previous day’s practice, I spend too much time reading the reason why I got something wrong. Any tips or advice? I’m really scared about it. Also I’m planning on taking my SAT for the first time in May 2014.</p>

<p>Go ahead and be “scared about” cancer if you’d like, but don’t be scared of any test.</p>

<p>That said, in order for me to answer your question, I’d have to know what kind of “practice” you’ve been doing.</p>

<p>Practicing incorrectly will only make you better at making the same mistakes.</p>
