SAT in 15 Days! Please help!

English as a Second Language Preparation forum for the SAT® Test

I recently took an SAT practice test. Here are my results:

Critical Reading: 480 - 540

Writing: 460 - 590

Math: 500 - 560

I have strictly 15 days left until my first SAT exam. What could I do to improve?

Thanks.

Also:

I’ve studied for soo long, and now I’m just tired of it. I really want to push up my Math, Critical Reading, and Writing scores before the end of the month, so I need to work reaaally hard.

I’m just not motivated anymore.

I studied harder when I started prepping than I do now. Please help - any tips will be greatly appreciated!!

Are two weeks just enough to improve (if I dedicated myself and worked hard)? Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! :frowning:

well i would like to wonder how much have you been studying and the intensity of it. It seems like to be that 510 CR, 530 Writing and 530 math are very improvable scores. you have probably studied without much efficience, which makes you tired of it because you have spent some times on it without great results. 15 days will get you nowhere according to your previous studies, studying more will probably make it more annoying to you. you should take the test at ease, then after the test, buy real SAT books and do massive practice tests to prepare for the next test date.

15 days is really not enough time for a huge improvement. Sign up for the next test date and use this one as a learning experience (format, types of questions, etc)

I paid $899 for a Kaplan course and I didn’t improve my score at all. I paid $10 for TutorFox’s SAT guide and I improved my score over 250 points…You do the math…I found the guide at tutorfox.com/satguide.html

Well, by now you have taken the SAT test, and so how was it? I agree with the previous posts, in that you should use the first test as a learning experience. And now when you begin to study (if you are taking the test for a second time), then don’t focus on memorization, but instead try to learn the format of the test. That’s how I have been studying, and I’ve found that the scores for my practice tests have gotten better and better, so I’m happy :slight_smile:
