Okay I have a month until I take the ACT test but I have school with hard classes this year. I’m getting scared because it’s my first time taking it. I want some strategies on the Reading and Math section. Like do I read the whole passage in the reading section and then answer the questions. And won’t that waste my time? What’s a better and faster way of doing it instead of scanning the whole thing? How do I start in the reading section? ect.. Will the people who gives the test tell us when we have like 5 minutes left? I read that they r not required to do that! And I’m also scared of Math. I’m trying to get like a 21 on the ACT test!
Oh I’m currently taking practice tests for it.
And is it hard to get a 21?

So i took a SAT practice test and i got like a 1650 or somewhere in the 1600′s(that is if i got at least a 7 on my essay which i think i can do), i struggled in the CR section but, i mean who doesn’t? I did decent in math and writing. I was disappointed in my score, im aiming for 1900+, i’ve been studying A LOT, because its the summer, and when i say a lot i dont mean like 7 hours, i mean 12 freaking hours at my table doing practice problems every day, yes i said every day thats how bad i want it. Any other recommendations on how to raise my score??

Currently i’ve split my 4 month time period before i take the actual SAT, the first month and a half im going to concentrate in the math section, i bought Kaplan’s SAT math workbook, i’m pleased with it, it challenged me which is good, the 2nd month and a half i’m going to concentrate in the CR and vocabulary since they pretty much go hand in hand with each other. The last month and a half im going to concentrate on the writing section of the test, im going to buy a book for that too. After all of this i plan on taking 1 last practice test, to see how much i improved from my first 1600-1650.
I hope i do good on it, i want to go to UCLA, USC, or USD for computer science. I do dragon boat(paddling sport) and im going to continue to do it through senior year to show commitment, i’ve volunteered for all of the marathons in San Francisco, i’m currently in a academy in my high school, AOIT(Academy of Information Technology) i dont know how that’s going to help but, the more the better.
I’m a 3.75 GPA student, but last semester i got a 4.0 GPA, I’m taking pre calculus next year, and i plan on AP calculus, and Physics honors(theres no AP physics, honors is highest) in my senior year.
I said practice test, i didn’t get a 1600 on the real SAT, i’m studying for it, i only have 4 months, im going to take it in october.
Well, im my workbook, i usually try all the questions first, and if i dont get it after everything ill look in the back but, after i do a couple of problems i usually catch on and i’ll be able to do some of them by myself,

Well for the physical part, i have dragon boat for that, that takes like 3 hours of my day and i’m exhausted after it so ill take a nap.

When i finish all the questions in a section, i usually jump around in the same section and redo the questions again so i get more familiar with the question format.

I have been taking practice SAT tests this summer, and I have not been performing to the level I would like to in the math section. I have continuously gotten in the 620-660 range for math, and I really would like to be somewhere in the 700.

Can you please offer suggestions on how I can improve?

Hey everyone, just a little background on myself first. I am in all IB and AP classes and taking AP Calculus AB (as a junior). Math has always been my strong point. However, I am finding it hard to get a good enough score on the SAT math section. I have taken it three times with very little improvement each time (currently, the highest (and latest) score I have received is a 720 (my other score are 800 in reading and 780 in writing)). I really want to get at least a 750 to be more competitive in very advanced colleges, but am having trouble. I can do all the math on the test, but I guess I keep making careless mistakes on a few questions, bringing me down. Does anyone have any tips for improving my math score?

I’m retaking the SATs next week and i need to do a lot better on the math section…

So, I was thinkng about doing like a practice test each day (starting tomorrow) for like 4 hours and I will just review what I did wrong in the math section using the study section (I don’t have to worry about english because I’m already really good at that).

Or, do you reccommend me just studying from the math section (study part of the SAT book) via notecards (which I made all over the summer…(but never had the time to study with)…

Any suggestions to approaching the math part of the exam (besides getting enough sleep and having a good breakfast!)

Thanks!

I was taking the ACT and I was almost done with the math section when they called time and I had not yet filled in all of my answers. What will happen to my score? Will I get one?

My SAT score for the math section in SAT1 would range from high 670 to 710. I was wondering if any higher scoring people would probably give me and the people reading this post on some tips to score higher. My goal is probably at least 750 or 770 on the math portion. My school math course is an AP Calculus class, but it doesn’t seem to hide the fact that I’m not getting the SAT score I wanted. Any tips would be deeply appreciated. :] Thank You.

Question 1:

It’ll be really great if I could take a break from those long and boring writing and verbal sections and recuperate during the math sections.
Will this have a bad influence on me or my score? (My friend told me that the test proctors don’t tend to like that.)

Question 2:

I’m aware that the final score of the SAT only take the highest score in account, but I registered all of my SAT tests by mail, and someone told me that the only way to prove my SAT scores are by the copies of the mail result that the college board sent me, and a 0 on math section will hurt if that’s true.
Therefore, my second question is, can I get an official certification of my total SAT score from college board even if I registered my tests by mails and never had an online account?
Thank you very much

So I took the november sats and didnt study at all. I got a 1730. critical reading 640 writing 610… math… 480! Horrible… Ive always been really bad at math and now the college im applying to only counts the reading and math section and im screwed.. Ive always been a really good writer and i love to read for fun so i didnt even glimpse at a practice test for those. And for math i hired a tutor but didnt study at all. He came once a week and i learned what i learned with him and then didnt look at it again. I reeeeaally need to improve my score!!!!
The thing is i thought studying didnt help with the sats but i guess i was wrong… Im taking them again in march and i got some books. i got the official sat guide, princeton review for math, barrons aiming for the perfect score, and bootcamp for your brain. Do you have any advice for me? And do you think its possible for me to raise almost 300 points in 3 months???

-Is the ACT (minus the optional essay part) completely multiple choice or will there be short answers and such?

-What can I do to prepare for the ACT, especially the math section?

-How many parts or subjects are there?

I’m taking the ACT for the first time this Saturday and I’m really nervous. I haven’t been in a math class since last school year due to a schedule conflict with the school, so I’m really dreading the math part and that’s my biggest worry. Well, I’m actually dreading the entire test in all honesty. Anyways, can someone please be so kind as to answer my questions and offer some advice or tips?

Thanks!
