<p>Hi, How do I make the final jump to get from the 2050 range to 2350+ range?</p>
<p>obviously, those last 300 points are much more difficult to improve on than from like 1500 to 1800.</p>
<p>Anyways,
Math- around 740 (usually miss the last 1 or 2 questions or stump on a random difficult question in the “teens”)
Reading- around 650 (vocab is usually pretty good, short passages SUCK, and long passages are pretty good except for inferences and other difficult questions that don’t ask you to refer to a line #)
Writing- around 650 (essay is 6/12 but multiple choice is pretty solid EXCEPT the passage questions)…</p>
<p>Do you have any ideas on how I’d improve in all three categories esp. writing essay, and reading passages? I’m not constrainted on time ( I am taking the SAT maybe next year).</p>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>Thing is, 2050 to 2350+ isn’t a last jump at all, unfortunately.
For most, it’s a few jumps- usually 2050-2200 range to 2300 range and then finally somewhere 2350+.
For some, there is no last jump at all- they simply cannot reach the 2350+ range.</p>
<p>2050 to 2250 should be achievable through studying and hard work, but from thereon, the last 100+ points or so is incredibly hard and undoubtedly the most difficult upon which to improve. It often goes down to luck, those last few questions that result in either a 2300 or a 2350+.</p>
<p>Recommendation is to do more tests and purchase section specific prep books.
For math, find a math SAT prep, for CR, go find some CR prep book and memorize a bunch of vocabulary words (~500-1000), and for writing, practice MC with SAT writing/grammar prep books and practice writing good essays with specific examples and transitional phrases under 20 minutes in preparation for the actual 25 minute test.</p>
