<p>Hello guys, this is my first post on CC and I would really appreciate any reply.</p>
<p>I’m currently a junior taking the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Like many others, I received my first SAT results from the October SAT yesterday. My scores were below my expectations:</p>
<p>CR - 610
Maths - 710
Writing - 620 (MC 57/Essay 11)</p>
<p>I have been self studying since summer, and usually scored within the range of 2100-2300 for my practice tests. During the weeks I would take a day and dedicate it just to taking the test, like the real day. So when my score came out I was quite disappointed. I know that my math was a slip, but I really do need help on my CR and writing. On a good day I could be scoring north of 750, on others… well, like the real day. </p>
<p>I’m planning on taking the December SAT again, in an attempt to redeem myself. Do you people reckon I should give in and take a SAT prep course? Plus, how can I improve my CR and Writing scores?</p>
