So, I’m taking the SAT in March and right now is Feb 20th. I took the SAT first in December and got a 1900. =(
Math: 650
Critical Reading: 600
Writing:650

Basically I need to cram… a lot. I want to get a 2000+. Preferably a 2100 if possible.

At home I always understand most of the math. On my practice tests that I do I get 700+ but I took a kaplan practice test and I got the very very exact same score as before. By doing some personal feedback I think I’m getting tunnel vision during the real test, so I can’t see the hard #20 question which is actually obvious. IDK!??! How do I know how to approach the very last 3 questions or so of a math section?

I hate critical reading. I perfectly understand the passages (or so I think). But I don’t understand the questions where they ask “HOW WOULD AUTHOR 1 RESPOND TO AUTHOR 2?” Or “WHICH ANSWER WOULD THE AUTHOR AGREE TO?” I always get those “interpret the author’s thoughts” questions wrong. But, everyone says NOT to interpret. ***. I look in the passages for physical evidence and I always find possibilities for 2 of the answers. Basically I suck at reasoning. Any specific or general advice?

I can get almost all of the easy and mid lvl questions on the writing section. But, I can never get the last ~4 questions in the “Find the Mistake” parts. I know that there always is an “E” answer at the end. But they all look correct. I reread them like 20 times and break apart the sentence at all that. Since I’m Asian am I missing some idioms or common English patterns?

Does anyone think I can get a 2100 in about 20 days? That’s a 700 in all sections… =(
