SAT Questions

ok so im a junior takin sats in december and i signed up for 20 hours of private tutoring with kaplan. the reason is im smart (not to be conceited) but its really hard for me to be diligent in my room and actually study on my own. so im wondering if these 20 hours will actually help improve my score. thanks alot

I took an SAT on Sparknotes and my score is 1560 without the essay..i am very sure that i will do poorly on the essay. so if i take, let’s say 10 SATs, one after another, will i somehow get better at the SAT?or will the same score (around the same score) keep on popping up?
i wannannnnnannaa do well on it! But it’s hard!!!!

i already took the SATs and was content with CR (620) and Math scores (640), but my writing score was awful (500). I really would like a tutor this summer to boost that score at least 100 points, but my dream is for all of my scores to be 650+.
Does anyone know of any excellent tutors that are in or around NJ?

Im a junior and im taking an SAT course at KAPLAN to help prepare me for the SATS in a month and a half. So far I feel its been pretty effective but id like to know what you’ve heard….

help is greatly appreciated!
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD//EXPERIENCED WITH KAPLAN?

I usually am an 85-90 gpa student and when i take major tests i end up getting 70-75′s. I bombed my psat’s. Is there any help for me to concentrate better on tests or any advice out there??
Im worried about the SATs enormously!! plz help

I’m starting my junior year in high school this fall
and i really want to do good this year so i can go to a good college.
when should i start purchasing books for the Sats to study from and when should i start signing up for classes and tutoring for the SATS?

i just took the SATs in the beginning of december and got a 1120 (added up math and critical reading)

i need at least a 1270 for a scholarship (FL bright futures)

will the CB online course help me bump up my score to like a 1300?

feedback on this course or any other SAT prep course will be fully appreciated
thanks

I have tried a local tutor and my critical reading score actually decreased 20 points. I have a 620 and am looking to improve my score to the 700 range. I am a motivated student who did all the homework that was assigned, yet I still didn’t improve. Please, I just need to know who is the best for private tutoring on the SATs for CR ONLY (I pulled an 800 Math). PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO GO TO DARTMOUTH OR UPENN-WHARTON AND NEED A HIGH SCORE!!!!

Okay so I’m going to be going to a community college while still in high school. I have to take an assesment test. I need to know what most of the assessment test cover? I’m going to be going to west los angeles community college.
Also I’m going to be taking my SATs really soon, just in case I haven’t covered everything in my studying what should I study for the most?

Is it worth it? I have a low SAT score and since I am going to be a senior this year my parents are willing to pat 00 for a class. I feel guilty but I honestly am the worst test taker If anyone has taken a course like this please tell me some experiences. I just want to do really good. By the way, I take the SATs in October.

My school offers an SAT prep course at my school. I am in 11th grade and planning to take the SATs in Jan, March, and June. Should I take the course 1st or 2nd semester?

THANK YOU =)

i’m taking the SATs in december and was wondering if just studying multiple amounts of prep books on my own is okay. or would a prep class be good? i just don’t want to waste money on something that won’t really help.

I want to find an online program that can help me practice for the SATs. I want one that has practice problems similar to real ones on the SAT. Are there any like that?

I am going to study for the SATs this summer, even though i’m only a sophmore this coming school year. my parents are forcing me to study my butt off.
i have narrowed down my SAT prep book choices down to two possiblities. one being The Princeton Review Carcking the SAT, and the other being The Official SAT Study Guide.
which would be best suited?

I got a 770 in Reading and a 800 in Writing on the SAT, but I got a 630 in Math. Should I be looking at retaking the SATs then, or should I stick with what I have? I’d be looking at universities like Rice University, Emory, etc. Do colleges look at individual scores or the cumulative?

I didn’t do as well as I wanted to on my SAT test and I’ve heard that people that don’t do as well on the SATs do better on the ACTs and vice versa. I think I might take the ACT test this fall, but I first want to know what the difference is that makes people do better or worse on it. Thanks.

Im going to be a senior when the new school year starts. On the SAT, I got:
1st: 1930 (570c, 760m, 600w)
2nd: 2160 (700c, 780m, 680w)

So here are my questions:

1. Should I retake the SAT? I know I already took it twice, but with some studying over the summer, I think I can score a little better.
2. If I take it again, would colleges average the 3 SATs since I took it three times. I’ve heard countless different things on how colleges look at SAT scores, and I am so confused. How would colleges look at my SATs if I retake or not retake?
3. Both times, I scored an 8 on the essay portion. For the people who scored higher than an 8, how do you write your essays?
4. Finally, for the SAT IIs, I have already taken the Korean test and got a 800 on it. I’m planning to take 2 or 3 more(math II, biology, and chemistry). Which ones should I take because I think I only need to take two more?
