I’m taking the SAT tomorrow. Last time I took it, I got a 750 CR, 520 M, and 630 W. I’m happy with my CR, and have realized it’s hopeless for me to improve my math score. That being said, my W score is on the border of being a good score, so I’ve decided to concentrate on it. The first (and only) time I took the SAT I didn’t study, so I’m sure I missed a number of grammar questions, but what got me was the essay… I spent forever thinking about what to write, then only got a paragraph written (granted the paragraph was over a page long), and didn’t do too well (I think I got an 8). I’m a good writer (I got a 5 on AP Lang), I’m just not good at writing quickly… I’ll just have to stop clarifying things in my essay. =P But anyway, there’s nothing I can do to help me with the essay bit, so what can I do to help me prepare for the rest of the writing section? A long time ago I read that there was an SAT grammar boot camp thing on youtube that almost guaranteed you an 800, if you got a decent essay score… Anyone know anything about this, or want to help me out in any other ways?
