Your SAT score and how long/how you prepared

2380 (800 CR, 780 M, 800 W). I took it 3 times and brought it up from a 2150. I got the reading score on my first attempt without studying so I don’t really have any good advice for that besides the fact that I genuinely enjoy reading books. The writing is really easy once you brush up on common grammatical rules. They test you on the same handful of topics in different ways (subject verb agreement, misplaced modifiers, etc. You can find a full list in many prep books) so just make sure you’re solid on those. The math was my hardest section to improve on (that’s why I ended up taking the test a third time). I used 2 practice books. I really really liked PWN the SAT Math. I also tried to use the Dr. Chung book but the questions were too difficult for the actual SAT questions and there was no explanation for the answers. Some people like that book though so I guess it just depends on you. Try a few out. Other that that, I just did a ton of practice problems from the blue book!
