Wow… i got the same scores as you did on the December SAT. (710W, and 750M)

Get RocketReview for writing. I shot up from a 61 n the PSAT to a 710 on the December SAT. Astonisher really is correct about the essay. The SAT Essay is very different from essays your school teacher assigns. I wrote my first SAT essay EVER on the December administration, so it sounded very awkward and was poorly phrased. However, i used tough vocab, i had a strong intro, and used “scholarly” examples (examples from history / literature ), made sure it filled up the 2 pages, and I got a 10. Oh, and you show practice a few times before the test for a 11-12 essay

For math, do alot of practice. Try to learn / memorize the way to do a problem, and think of many ways of doing a particular problem. Grubers is very helpful, but practice is the most important.
