<p>I took the SAT in June & received an 1820 composite with extremely varied scores.
I plan to take it again in December.</p>
<p>CR: 600
M: 480
W: 740</p>
<p>I’m a senior & applied to colleges E/A so the retake is more for merit aid and honors programs that I’m hoping to get into now. </p>
<p>I really want to boost my CR+M grade to over a 1200. Any tips?</p>
<p>The online College Board SAT study program helped my son a lot. It is like the blue book but it gives you much more feedback and times it for you.</p>
<p>Look at the analysis to see what you need the most help in. If you are not in pre-calculus yet, you might want to get specific math tutoring. You also might want to get tested for a learning disability in math, as the scores are so different indicating that general intelligence is not the issue. I teach college, and I can tell you that there are many students who don’t realize that they have a learning disability, as they have been struggling through and just thought they “weren’t smart enough” or “had a bad day”.</p>
<p>Remember also that most schools willl take your best scores for each section, so go crazy studying for math, especially in a timed environment.</p>
<p>You can surely increase your maths. Its a place where you can score. ^Go crazy after maths and CR. Do practice, memorize words, join courses. I am sure you can hit at least a 2150 if you get more serious.
Best of Luck</p>
<p>For math I think you should just learn the concepts first. Once you know the concepts i think you just need to practice it. It should bump your math score to at least a 600-700 range.</p>
