How good/bad is my SAT score

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I am an international student, and I took the January test. With some stupid mistakes in math and luck in Writing, i got my rather-satisfactory score. But I don’t know whether the score is “good enough” for me to apply for some “top 50 Uni” in US:
I really appreciate your constructive comments:</p>

<ul>
<li> 01/2010 SAT Reasoning Test<br>
Critical Reading 640 88%
Math 740 97%
Writing 680 94%
Multiple Choice 75 (score range: 20-80)<br>
Essay 6 (score range: 2-12)<br></li>
</ul>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>It’s a rather good score, but do try and improve in Critical Reading and Writing, especially Critical Reading.</p>

<p>Your Writing multiple choice is looking good. Try working on the essay and you’ll see great improvements in your writing score.</p>

<p>Your Math looks fine. You missed 2 questions, and since you said they were stupid mistakes, I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Work on your Critical Reading. While that’s a decent score, you can improve with more practice and more reading. I’d practice those passage-based questions very hard. The vocabulary is not as important as the passages. If you start doing very well on the passages, you can start studying SAT Vocabulary.</p>

<p>I agree on this advice, unless of course you are only having trouble with the vocabulary.</p>

<p>Thank you,
Actually i got 19/19 for sentence completion… But got 7 wrong and 4 omitted for passage-reading… I don’t know how to improve my speed as well as my accuracy…</p>

<p>For Writing, I did MC section in the Jan test better than in practice test (i think i was lucky)! But about essay, i had spent time reading and doing researches (sparknotes, wiki for e.g) on prominent examples, all’s what i got was just 6…</p>

<p>Any more advice to improve my CR and WR plz…
Thank you…</p>
