<p>Does anyone know how many questions right you have to get in the Critical Reading and Writing Skills section of the SAT in order to get at least a 750?
Also, can anyone give me any advice as to how to have this score? Will studying with Kaplan and Princeton Review help? How often should I study?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>less than 5 usually</p>
<p>Wow; well, any advice on having 5 or less wrong answers?</p>
<p>i’d like to know too, haha</p>
<p>Kaplan and PR are not even the best books to study. You need to keep taking practice tests, seeing why you got answers wrong, and develop your own pattern and approach to passages.</p>
<p>Oh, I am. I started today, and I’m already becoming more conscious of writing and vocabulary, which before I wasn’t as much (contrary to my previous beliefs). What are the best books to study, then?</p>
<p>Don’t trust non-official practice tests. They’re either too easy or too hard. In any event, the material which shows up on them often doesn’t show up on the actual SAT. Studying from an SAT which is too hard will yield answer to questions which are too hard for the SAT, and so will not appear. It’s the equivalent of studying the Mandelbrot Set to ace the math section. Yes, it’s fascinating and well beyond the scope of the SAT, but it won’t count for nil on the test.</p>
<p>According to the BB scale:</p>
<p>750+ on the Writing Section (average):
12E, 5 wrong
10E, 3 wrong
8E, 2 wrong</p>
<p>750+ on CR (average):
3 wrong</p>
<p>(From what I’ve seen, it’s more generous on the actual SAT. But then again, I’ve also been told that BB questions are easier than the actual test.)</p>
<p>Many people have told me to stay away from Kaplan.</p>
<p>^ Why? Well, then what’s good?!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve heard that too. Bad Kaplan! Bad!</p>
<p>Lots of ppl recommend Rocket Review, although I don’t yet have it.</p>
<p>I’ve heard RocketReview provides great strategies, along with Gruber’s. Barron’s is also good.</p>
<p>What about Princeton Review?</p>
<p>Bump please…</p>
