<p>i got cr-300,m-470,w-370.</p>
<p>can any one please tell me who already got 700 above in all the 3 sections .
about which books to study ,how to ace in passage reading.</p>
<p>I’m sorry to break this to you but it is next to impossible for you to improve from 1140 to 2100, especially if you studied for your first attempt. You can still try, but I would advise to you have more realistic expectations. Best of luck!</p>
<p>can u just tell me which books to refer please man no one is helping me?</p>
<p>Barron’s is a good book to start with. Princeton Review is also quite good is what I hear although I personally haven’t used it. The official book by collegeboard is also excellent as it comes the closest to what is asked on the actual test.</p>
<p>I got a 2240(800CR 690M and 750W) after 3 attempts. Started from a low score, but managed to push it up.
For CR, you need to start with Barron’s, then do Kaplan and finally Collegeboard. Also, read The Economist as much as you can. It helps a lot with comprehension.
Math, you’ve got to keep practicing. One section a day, no excuses. Though my score in this section is nothing great, everyone I know who has managed a 750+ did this.
Writing, you have to do Sparknotes. Also, write an essay a day. Reading The Economist and writing essays on a daily basis will give you a whole lot of confidence, and result in a higher score.</p>
<p>i was also not able to get a good score in CR(coz i didn’t practice it coz I had just 13 days–haste makes waste lol!)
writing and math i did from kaplan and princeton review and was able to score okay-ish in both–
writing 650
math 720
writing could have scored 700+ if i had practiced essays… in math, well,i f***ed up ! I was really confident in math…when i used to practice it from books, i got all correct(or didn’t attempt a couple)</p>
<p>I personally only did the CB SAT prep book and Barron’s Practice Tests.</p>
<p>For CR: READ! There’s no better advice! READ! A lot! Books, newspapers, the tiny writing on the label of the new phone you got! Anything! The practice tests specialize you, but there’s no substitute for being a good reader. (I got CR 690 on first/only attempt. Not too great, but not too shabby).</p>
<p>For M: DO MATH! Juggle the concepts. Observe the figures and make the equations come alive! I know this may sound like philosophical bull, but math is a beautiful language. Every time you see a problem, it should speak to you. Do a lot of math every day. Like, A LOT. I personally devote an hour to math during normal days, and a few more hours before test days. (700 here, so nothing to great, but hey, my methods worked for me)</p>
<p>For W: WRITE! I cannot stress this enough. And read, again! English has its elegance! You cannot neglect that! Write essays, do sentence corrections! Hundreds, maybe thousands of sentence corrections! Got something wrong? MARK it, and see what you got wrong. Trial, error, improvement. Simple. (W 740. Unexpectedly high, but hey)</p>
<p>Now, I agree some of these methods take time to implement, but they take effect the moment you start with them!</p>
<p>Now, climbing 1000 points on the SAT is ridiculous to do in one go. Try going up 100-150 points per test. Keep detailed performance reports. Where’d you go wrong? Why’d you go wrong? How to not go wrong again? You get the drift.</p>
