I need some advice !!! The FASTEST and MOST EFFECTIVE WAY!!

<p>I am a junior and I took January SAT and got 1970. This was the first time.
CR610 WR600 M760.</p>

<p>I am thinking of U.Mich, UIUC, Cooper Union, UCB(I hope;), Univ Texas- Austin. ENGINEERING… </p>

<p>I registered for the June test. and I need to raise my scores.
What would be the fastest way to raise my score? reading magazines? (my brother is subscribing New Yorker, so reading New Yorker?) or like do the blue book as Xiggi’s advice. ( I did all the tests in blue book before the January test which I think I forgot most of it…:wink: </p>

<p>Actually last year when I first took practice CR test the score was around 400 -_-… </p>

<p>Can you give me some advice in raising the score?
and about how high do I need to score for those schools listed above? </p>

<p>Oh. by the way I am international. </p>

<p>Oh! another question. I heard that UIUC is only good in the field of Computer science… and is that true? ;; and… last but not least… can you guys rank those engineering schools ?</p>

<p>UCB is obviously outstanding. Number 1 public school in the nation, great for engineering. Also UIUC is one of the best engineering schools, i think its like 4th in the nation. U.Mich is a great school as well, and so is Cooper Union. UT Austin is okay compared to the other schools you’re looking at, but I think with your current SAT scores you should be fine at most of the schools. 1370 MV combined is great.</p>

<p>It’s a great score, but I would suggest (not saying you have to because your scores ARE pretty high), but being OOS isn’t going to help you. I guess your study habits are good.</p>
