<p>I hate myself for procrastinating. I recently got a 1500 on the SAT. By March or May, is it possible to go up 500 points? I don’t know where to start. Can someone tell me their experience with the SAT? I want to succeed but some problems overwhelm me.</p>
<p>You look new, so this is my gift to you.

A lot of helpful threads here. here is my own advice:
CR: Read Wall Street Journal and/or New York Times articles at your leisure. Do the ones that interest you and you will get the most out of this activity.
Memorize all 400 words of the Direct Hits books (there are two volumes).
W: Memorize some literary or historical examples that you can interchange depending on the given essay prompt.
[SAT</a> Writing Questions - SAT Writing Questions.pdf - Minus](<a href=“http://min.us/l4IZR1cu9DYOJ]SAT”>http://min.us/l4IZR1cu9DYOJ) This is a link to a huge bank of official writing questions from College Board. Don’t be scared by the Chinese, everything that you need to read is in English.
You have got an enviable amount of time to prepare, so relax, study daily, and have fun! feel free to PM if you have more questions.</p>
<p>I went up 310 points just by doing the practice tests in the blue book. You could hit 2000, but it will be a lot of work.</p>
<p>Practice really makes all the difference for this test. While there are tips and tricks to help you progress, only practice will fully prepare you. Once you do enough, you’ll see patterns for specific types of questions and everything will be a lot easier. I suggest the blue book or Barron’s. Barron’s is a little harder tbh, but it’ll make you feel really smart when you actually take the test.</p>
