<p>Okay, so before taking the SAT for first time, I cramp myself for about less than a month. I did know about the SAT until my councilor told me about it, so I studied hard for it.
Reading:360
Math:560
Writing:550
I was impress with this score, especially because I had little time to study.
So I decided to give it another shot. But this time, I really didn’t study hard, but I just review.
Reading: 400
Math: 550
Writing: 460
This second score is very dramatic because I improved my Reading section, while lowering my Writing section.
I made a mistake of rushing through the test thinking that I will get more points.
My goal next time is to get 600 on both Math and Writing and at least a 500 on Reading.
Reading is my weakest subject, (English is my second language).
But yea, this time I will take things serious because it is one of my last chances before applying for colleges.
I just want to know how do you people get such high scores! Have you studied ever since 9th grade or before that? LOL</p>
<p>First off, knowing all of the topics beforehand (e.g. English grammar rules, math topics) helps. Also, because the SAT is a timed test, you need good strategy for taking the test. I didn’t really take the SAT seriously until 11th grade.</p>
