How do I improve my SAT score after I already tried a lot methods?

<p>Ok, so first I would like to say I’m not one of those people who haven’t done any research and are just blatantly posting “How do I improve my score?” in general. I just feel kind of lost because I’ve already tried the following:</p>

<p>Taken over 10 practice tests and reviewed all the ones I got wrong
Lurked CC for SAT practice advice and bought myself the correct prep book for each section
Read over the books I bought (parts of it)
Checked the thread that gave the links to other threads with good test prep advice like Xiggi</p>

<p>Yet for some reason I’m still scoring the same 2100 range. My goal is to increase that by 2400. Are there any other methods/ways to accomplish this?</p>

2

<p>What books did you buy?</p>

3

<p>RR, grubers, Barrons 2400</p>

4

<p>2100 is a respectable score. Some people max out and there isn’t a whole lot to do once you’ve exhausted the resources.</p>

5

<p>Increase it by 2400? lol.</p>

<p>Is there any section you are relatively worse at, or is it 700-700-700?</p>

6

<p>Nuuuu I can’t accept a 2100 lol</p>

<p>Yeah for me, i don’t really have a “weak” section since it changes every time and usually i score around the low 700’s for all of my sections. But I really want to get into UPenn Wharton or Princeton and well… i kinda need a WAY higher SAT score for that</p>

<p>After reviewing the stuff, for me it just seems not to be lack of knowledge… just stupid mistakes on math and writing. And then me misinterpreting the text on CR</p>

7

<p>And oops not by 2400, to 2400 wrong preposition… lol that seems like it would be the perfect writing question lol</p>

8

<p>great…you answered your own question. Don’t make stupid mistakes hereafter. I’ve always told myself NOT to make stupid mistakes during a test and it works subconsciously. Do that, and score will increase GUARANTEED.</p>

<p>You mentioned that you’ve only read parts of the books. Why not go through the rest of the strategies and practice applying them (though I don’t recommend any book by Barron’s)?</p>

<p>Another important point: are you actually using these strategies when taking your tests? It’s very easy to read part of a prep book, say “Hey, that’s cool,” and then take the test as if you didn’t learn any new method/approach.</p>

<p>I like to tell myself the sky is pink but it isn’t.</p>

11

<p>first of all if you think the sky is pink that’s a problem.
second of all, the method worked for me so I don’t see the problem with it.</p>

12

<p>Just re-take the next SAT and hope that the superscoring helps to increase your score by as much as 50 points.</p>

13

<p>get the new BB and use it. and the new OC apparently?</p>

14

<p>I’m sorry but what does OC stand for?</p>

<p>I found through my experience that simply paying attention and concentrating will add another 2-3 raw points per section and thus will increase the score by 50-60 points. Say, I have 6 questions answered wrong in CR section. Usually, 2-3 of them are the ones that make me bump my head on the desk. The other 2-3 are the legit, tough questions that I answered wrong. Try to eliminate those silly mistakes caused by lack of attention to detail or concentration. Thats the surest way. As to the latter kind of errors, there is some luck as well as training factors involved. Good luck.</p>
