<p>My first sitting for the SAT reasoning took place during the month of March, and, being the idiotic me, who was procrastinating til the last minute, didn’t study for it. When I got the results back it was a 2010.
Critical Reading: 670, Math: 720, Writing: 620</p>
<p>I’m thinking of retaking it for a second time on November 1st, so I have roughly 3/2 months to study for it. I heard SAT Prep courses were useful, but seeing how I have such little time left, I decided to borrow a friend’s Barrons 2400 and the official SAT study guide (large blue one).</p>
<p>I’m open to any tips on how I should study for this upcoming exam, besides reading through the books and doing the practice tests. I especially know that my writing skills are weak (compared to my other two areas), so any good tips to improve that area would be terrific. </p>
<p>well IMO ur ok unless if ur heading for top colleges. um the only advice i can give u is to do wat u dont want to do haha. that is practice more, read books and learn some vocab words. i think barons is good for writing. however keep practicing writing anyways and ull see improvements. thats the advice i can give/</p>
<p>Where can I find good practice? I have the big blue book, but that’ll last only oh so much sessions of practice. </p>
<p>Well, I know my grammar rules (after 11 years of English classes), but I personally had no idea how I did so badly on the writing section. In fact, right after the SAT during March, I was so sure I did better on writing than on CR. But the results say otherwise, eh? </p>
<p>Well, thanks for the suggestions, I’ll keep reviewing and practicing! :)</p>
<p>What I’m doing is writing down all the rules and examples of each.
When I get one wrong, I’ll identify it and place it in the corresponding category.
After 3 weeks of serious grammar practice, I was able to pull my MC subscore to 77-79</p>
