Look for real courses with real kids going.

I lived in So Cal and thus I followed all the asians when they went to this one asian grandmaster SAT tutor. Dude pumped out more 2250s more 2300s, and more perfect scores than you could believe. He actually taught you how to take the test.

Ended up with a 2320 recently just got accepted to Yale.

I haven't a clue OP.
If a similar class doesn't give me the skills to preform well, and thus a resulting score keeps me out of a good college. I'm going to shoot up the world.

Yalefag here

The course I took was extremely rigorous though. We met like 3 times a week for hours on end and always took a practice test on Saturday and went over it on Sunday.

In retrospect, it was probably fucking overkill. But it got me into my top choice.

Faggot detected.

Thanks for the advice guys. But now I am a junior and sat's are in a month. How can I self study?

During the school year, with 6 AP classes, I'd say meeting 3 times a week + 2 times on the weekend is pretty rigorous considering the weekday sessions were like 4 hours long and the weekend ones around 6.

Of course, what do I know? I only got a 2320.

Faggot.

Are you mad cause you realized no one gives a shit about what prestigious school you are going to?
It's okay. It'll be over soon.

Writing is the easiest to score very highly on, but a lot of top schools only look at critical reading and math.

SAT math can easily be defeated by a lot of practice tests and looking out for tricks, and going quickly enough to check your answers and finish EVERY question.

Critical reading seems to be innate for some people while other struggle.

My first practice test I got around a 700 on critical reading and just learned the tricks until I reached a perfect score.

Perhaps giving us your subscores would give us a chance to better guide you.

> Anyone have any tips or ways to score better?

Yeah you actually study. Wake up early, go to bed late. There's no shortcut. Figure out your weak point and work on them, reinforce your strong points.

Read a lot of books and the essay will be breeze.
Do at least 10 math problems a day. Time yourself.
Master at least 15 new SAT words each day.

Stick to that routine for just 2 months and you won't get anything less than a 2200.

The SAT is a joke. And I'm not bragging about my score in the least. I do credit myself for knowing it is a necessarily evil in order to attend top institutions. While you seem to be too stupid enough to even fathom that.

I'm sure you're one of those faggots who thinks his Calculus course at his local CC is the same thing at they take at MIT!

ok this is all rough, not sure where i put my exact breakdown
but it goes reading 680 math 580 writing 420

That's really good actually. Writing and Math are the easiest to improve on.

If you learn the rules of SAT grammar and write a serviceable essay you'll get around 700.

Math all you can do is take practice tests.

>writing 420

But that's supposed to be the easiest....Bump it up at least 200 points bro. You can do it.

Also for the math, just practice a lot. Know formulas and shortcuts.

The SAT never really tests smartness just how fast you work.

yea =\ I was always horrible at writing. Thanks for the tips!
