My increase wasn’t as dramatic (100 points exactly - 2300 on first practice test to 2400), but it happened in just 1 week of intense prep. I definitely lived and breathed the SAT that week.

At this point, CR is probably going to be the hardest to raise - that is, if you haven’t already read this thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/750399-how-attack-sat-critical-reading-section-effectively.html

^The advice in there is brilliant and extremely effective.

Math and writing are much, much easier to raise with practice. I’m pretty good at math but I always make careless mistakes on the math section, so I just did tons of practice sections - I think nearly all of the practice sections in the Blue Book.

As for writing, there’s a list in the blue book of the grammar rules they expect you to know. Few questions cover other topics, so I would just know the rules really well and do a lot of practice.

You really don’t need anything aside from the Blue Book and those threads I linked you to. Good luck!
