某小弱提问:怎么办啊?我分数这么低啊?呜呜~
Need over 800-1000 increase in SAT score. Suggestions?
I&aposm a sophomore and recently took this Princeton Review practice test given under testing circumstances. I got the results back and got a 1350. How will I improve? I know its next year, but still how do I improve. I really want to aim for a 2000+. What books do you recommend to start? What should I do to improve?
I&aposm currently got:
--Gruber&aposs Complete SAT 2010
--BB
--Barrons CR Workbook
--PR SAT 2009
--I&aposve looked through them and they look really good. Hopully I can improve.
--------------------
第一位同学回答:嗯,我再练练手的话还能再提高一些,过去4个月我从1650提高到2060,一般般啦~
I got a 410 point score increase, and I&aposm sure I could increase it even more if I were to keep practicing. I got Grubers and looked over all of the math strategies and rreshers and Rocket Review for writing and critical reading. After reading through both of those I started taking practice tests from BB2. I took the first two tests untimed and allowed myself to rer back to the prep books if I was unsure about a question. After those first two, I timed myself on all the others. For all the practice tests I would take one section and then go on the online book owners manual and review each problem (including the ones I got correct). Oh, and also, I saved the first 3 tests in BB2 for last since they were actual administered tests. And that&aposs all I did. My score went from a 1650 to a 2060 in 4 months
--------------------
第二位同学回答:这些书到底有没有帮助我不是十分确定,但我可以告诉你一个秘密,有一个网站可以在线练习,很直观,给给力~
To start with I took one BB test and saved all the BB tests for last because they were the most accurate versions of the test. Then I too used Gruber&aposs (mostly for math), PR for W and CR. Honestly, I don&apost know what the bests books for CR and W are but Gruber&aposs is for sure the best. Then I would take the Sparknotes.com practice tests throughout. All you do is create an account and take the test on the computer. It&aposs timed for you so you don&apost have to worry about that and its graded. There are 5 of them and I would say they are pretty spot on. The most important is taking practice tests from the books to gauge your accuracy, improvements, and the types of questions you get wrong.
--------------------
第三位同学补充道:很多人都这么说呢,要提高800多分有点不太现实,四五百分倒是有可能的,我用我的亲身经历告诉你,我就是提高了700多分,没有什么是不可能的,只要你够努力,当然,很重要的一点,你要从最基本的做起,一步一步来。
As others have pointed out, it is very highly unlikely that you will be able to achieve 800~1000 points bump because even a 400-500 point increase is rare.
However, I increased my scores my nearly 700 points, so nothing is really impossible if you try hard enough. It takes work, a lot of work.
My first advice is to use only collegeboard materials. That said, you should NOT use any of those books&apos practice exams, namely those from PR, barrons, etc. Use them as a guide for basic techniques; they will be useless after you learn all the grammar/basic math tricks.
--------------------
第四位同学插嘴进来了:恩,你提升空间还是很大的呀,从W出发的话,也许能提高得更快一些,还有一个前几年比较管用的老方法,你也可以看一看,也许对你有帮助的。
There is A LOT of room for improvement for your M and W, so it&aposs fairly doable to get 650+ on both. You should be able to increase your W score quickly because it seems like you&aposre a pretty strong writer.
CR, on the other hand, is harder to increase. Memorize 400~600 important SAT words. Direct hits volumes were pretty good back 2 yrs ago, and I think it&aposs still a valuable source. So check that out.
--------------------
下面发言的是第五位同学:你看我的分数就知道了,但别以为这很轻松,你得很努力、很努力、很努力才有可能啊!
it&aposs possible
I went from a 1340 to a 2230.
Just a lot
A LOT
A LOT
A LOT
of hard work.
--------------------
第六位同学非常明确地补充了一点:从1800开始,分数的提高会变得更困难了,会更考验你会问题的理解,你应该像第三位同学说的那样,一步一步来,心急吃不了热豆腐!
Now, the truth of the matter is an increase from a 1350 to something like a 1650/1750 will probably not be too difficult, especially if your essay score was low in the first place. The difficult score increase happens around 1800 because at that point you have learned so much it&aposs just a matter of actually understanding the questions instead of recognizing common errors. Also, this is probably not going to be the most humbling forum to be a part of, on account of all the high-scoring students.
--------------------
七楼同学给大家补充了一个例子:我知道两年前有一个哥们,几个月之内他的SAT分数从1800飞升到2300,以至于CB的大大们都觉得这个分数不靠谱啊,于是就让那哥们解释,哥们很不耐烦,说,解释个X,于是CB一下子就hold不住了,三两下就把他的2300给抹掉了,这还不够,1800那个分数也顺手给扣了200,真是悲剧!
I know there is one example about 2 years ago. A boy get from 1800 to 2300 in a few months. CB saw that and tell the boy if he hadn&apost explained what happened, they would have canceled the new score. The boy said he didn&apost do any tricks or cheats, but CB didn&apost believe it. Finally, CB canceled his new score, and minus his old scores 200 points.
--------------------
第八位同学显然不以为然:大家可别听楼上的胡说,他那个故事是假的,要真是分数异常CB会让你再考一遍的,还有,楼主要现实一点好。
Don&apost listen to the upstairs, his story is false wherever he heard it. Al though if you do improve by 800 CB will likely ask you to re-take it so that they know you are not cheating.
Now for whether you can actually increase that amount...its hard to say. I think 500-600 is possible but 1000? Not sure. It all depends on how much you are capable of. Some SAT test takers are capable of high scores (2100+) but usually just score 1700-1900 because they didn&apost study or didn&apost have a rigorous high school course. If you are one of those people who has the possibility to greatly improve than I would say 800 is within reach, but I am not convinced on 1000.
--------------------
最后一位同学出现了:大家七嘴八舌的议论了不少,我来给总结下吧,嘿嘿,都是个人经验~
My SAT score breakdown (1 sitting) is M:780, CR: 800, W:800. What I found were extremely helpful in attaining this score (other than some luck) are:
1. Barron&aposs SAT (not the 2400; I used the VERY large one)
do all the practice questions you think are necessary, then work through its practice tests. Make sure you really take the time to understand how to do each problem first (especially the critical reading questions).
2. Barron&aposs SAT Critical Reading workbook, SAT math workbook, and one of its older versions for the Writing SAT II (when writing was still a separate test). The Writing workbook can only be found online, I believe. Check ebay, amazon, or abebooks.
3. The bluebook (Collegeboard). The math & writing questions are pretty much the same no matter what test brand you use; however, the CR is VERY specific, and I find that, other than the Collegeboard book, only Barron&aposs mimics the real SAT CR questions accurately. Albeit, the Barron&aposs CR questions are often harder than the actual ones--but that is dinitely another advantage to using Barron&aposs. It will over-prepare you.
On another note, if you&aposre having trouble with the vocabulary in context questions, rather than rote memorization, I recommend 1, or both, of 2 things:
1. Work through Level E of the Sadlier-Oxford Vocabulary workbooks. 60-70% of the vocab you will encounter on the SAT will be covered in this book. There&aposs roughly 20-or so chapters, with 20 words per chapter. One-chapter a day is very doable.
2. Barron&aposs "Hot-List" for SAT vocab words. I offer an anecdote to this success: On the day of my test, I encountered "Heyday" in one of my vocab-in-context questions. I had never seen the word bore in my life other than the night bore, when I was scanning through the Barron&aposs list of frequently-encountered SAT vocab words. I got it right!
(If you purchase the BIG Barron&aposs SAT workbook, the list is included in the grammar section).
For the Essay Portion of the SAT:
1. Make a list of 3 historical examples, 3 literary examples, and 3 current event examples that you think can fit into the context of any argument. For example, Steve Jobs & his success w/Apple as a start-up company can be used as an anecdote for questions asking about: Perseverance, our dinition of "success," heroism, etc.
