How to do well on the SAT
It made me
exuberant!
 "I wasn't expecting to do excellently, but ended up with a 2260."
How I did it: I bought the official study book from the College Board in April (and took the exam in October) but did not actually begin studying until mid-July. Then I read through the explanatory sections at the beginning of the book and took two timed practice exams to see which sections I needed to work on. I realized that I needed most to work on math and the essay portion, so each day I would set aside time to work through the math section of one of the practice exams and write the essay. It went very well! I noticed my math score rising incrementally on each practice exam, until I ended up with a 690 on the actual exam. Lessons & tips: -If you already know that you can do well on a certain section, don't stress about it. I knew I would do well on Verbal and thus I only bothered to take those sections twice during my practice. If I had included those sections in my daily practice, I would have got bored and not done as well! Resources: The official College Board SAT Study Book. |

It made me
elated!

I completely ignored vocabulary because I figured there were so many potential words that could be on the test that it would be a waste of my time, and focused on critical reading instead because it was my worst section. Ultimately, I… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just went in and took it. I got an 1180 with the reading and math scores combined. I got a 550 on the writing, but it doesn't count for anything that I know of as far as scholarships and colleges are concerned. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I took classes over the summer (2008). 3 times a week for 4 hours each.Classes weren't boring at all, and it kept my mind, well, functioning, over the summer break. From July to the end of August, I practiced. School started in September so I didn't have much time. In September, I took a practice test and studied on weekends.In October, I took the test.On October 22 (3 days before my birthday!) I woke up at 5am and… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Studying until my brains leaked out my ears and STILL not doing as well as I should have. The first time, the 1940, I did not stress at all; the second time, I panicked and did poorly. So how did I do it? Studying and pretending not to care. Read how I did it…

1950
Math-610
Reading-680
Writing-660
Need to practice my essay & reading, I’ve basically given up on math..it’s just not my strong point.
But i’ll try to pull 700s in the other two for a hopefully combined score of around 2100
wish me luck!

My first time I got 1960 combined.
650-Math
650-Critical Reading
660-Writing
I’d like to raise all of them up to at least 700 (really hoping for mid-700s for writing though) and get around 2100+ combined this time.
SAT date: December 6th, 2008
Last chance before it’s time to apply to college.
Wish me luck!
