Need help improving my sat score

<p>I got a 2010 my first try</p>

<p>710 math
690 cr
610 writing (7/12)</p>

<p>I need help with the hard math questions, the essay and the cr vocabulary what are the best ways to improve?</p>

<p>Math - slow down, read carefully, and practice
CR - practice (learn vocabs and practice analyzing passages)
Writing - learn your rules cold and practice.
Essay - read steamedrice’s essay critique thread, learn from others. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/565800-steamedrice-s-essay-scoring-feedback-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/565800-steamedrice-s-essay-scoring-feedback-thread.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Any tips on memorizing vocab? I already have the vocab lists but its hard to memorize them</p>
