Check with your school, and now for help.\n\nGo to the good book stores, and paper/computer supply places for their CD's - yes they have them on math, and CD's on SAT, and PSAT with actual questions and study on your computer!!!!\nAnd check online for the cd's for study...they even have foreign language cd's...........don't ever give up!\n\nIt's the best!...and was not available when I went to school.

First of all: way to go!!! Those are very competitive scores; the question now is not whether you'll get accepted, but how much financial support will you receive based on your scores. You definitely need to consider re-taking the physics test if you can review a few key concepts. You should also look into re-taking the ACT, since it was "nicer" to you, to raise your English score and pick up a few more points on Science/Reading. I do NOT recommend re-taking the SATI unless you know one of your target schools does not accept the ACT. Consider getting a little help with your ACT either from a book, or a private tutor. Good luck and, once again, congratulations!

You've got to be kidding.  Run, don't walk, to the nearest educational institution and enroll in a remedial English class.  Concentrate on English grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling.  Become literate and then think about getting a job.  Also, consult an attorney about your possible legal avenues of redress against whatever school you have been attending.

If this is the new SAT that score is not very good, considering the New SAT is out of a score of 2400. You should really consider taking a Kaplan Prep course. If not, feel free to register for free 45 days of online access to our SAT quizbank site. This site allows you customize your own quizzes for personalized Prep. You really should be shooting for anything above 600 in each section. 600 math, 600 critical reading, and 600 writing.

STUDY!\n\nNo, seriously I used the Kaplan book, I think I used the previous year's book, and I boosted my score significantly. Focus on teh section you're having the toughest time with.

I couldn't afford the courses either (over a grand for some help? No ma'am!) but I did pretty much the same thing you did. I got a couple of help books, went to different websites that gave me free practice tests, got an idea of what the test was all about by starting all this about six months before the actual exam and I ended up scoring at 1400 (this is the old SATS, out of 1600). \n\nIf you can get a group together to do faux practice tests, it'll work out even better. Me and my friend would compare how we got different answers. Even if we both got them right, it was helpful to see how someone else deduced the answer and ended up helping me out a lot on the test because I could try to answer hard questions using a different method. \n\nGood luck on your committee. It definitely sounds like a very good way to prepare our hispanic youth for their futures

Just review your lesson and do your best in the exam.. If the score is already nearer on your goal strive harder next time and maybe that time youlll do it... ^_^

My advise wold be not to do it again before the test.  If you "had to," you need to run/walk EVERYDAY and drink LOTS of water.  Good luck.

Real bad but if I didn't studied enough that's the result, but after all what can I do? study more yes but that's gonna be next year, I hope, meanwhile let's play some games..☺

1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

I agree with the "you can't cram" answer, but if you have to, READ, READ, READ.  Also immerse yourself in English--stop speaking your native tongue, and even try to think in English between now and the test.  Your question wasn't worded bad, except you used the adjective "good" instead of the adverb "well".  Get one of those books that teaches common English errors and cram from that.

That's really all that you can do, is study those books. The SAT is much more difficult than the ACT (which is what I took). Good luck though! Study hard and take it as often as you need to! Also get lots of rest the night before, eat a good breakfast, and concentrate!

The best way is...*drum rolls*...practice.\n\nThere's just no way around it. I recommend the official collegeboard SAT book, you can find that in most bookstores I believe. The practice tests in that book are very similar to the actual one. Whether or not you think you're good already at the section, make sure to read through the whole book. I only prepped for the SATs with that book, and I got a pretty decent score. So I really encourage you to get that book. If you're looking for something cheaper, you can try www.sparksnotes.com.\nExcellent site for some free practices. In the meantime, just browse for sites that give you free tests. www.collegeboard.com gives you ONE free test when you sign up.\n\nBest of luck for your SAT.
