SAT Problems #1 (permalink) Sun Nov 26, 2006 17:58 pm   SAT Problems
 

I'm having the worst SAT experience. I have taken the SAT five times now and my highest score is an 1140.
Critical Reading: 490
Math: 650
I only have a couple more chances to reach my goal of 1270 for the 100% tuition scholarship. That's the problem, my senior year of high school is being ruined because I can't seem to achieve this test score required by my parents. Is IQ directly related to test scores? Should my 140 IQ get scores closer to the 1300's? I have tried the ACT and my highest score there is a 25, which requires a 28 for the same scholarship. I just don't understand. I'm really having a lot of trouble with the vocabulary. I guess I didn't read enough growing up or something. I don't want to be forced to go to a community college when I have a 4.4 and 3.9 GPA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi royal1

You have identified the main problem area as vocabulary. What have you already done to try to improve this area?

What about your English teacher(s) at school? Have you asked them for input?

With a 3.9 GPA, a score of 490 is unexpectedly low. But trying to increase a 490 score to 620 is a tall order. Have your SAT scores been fairly consistent? Or have you managed to improve the math part significantly? (If so, how did you do that?)

You mentioned a "required" score of 1270. Is this for just one particular college/university?

They recommend getting books with SAT vocabulary

I jumped from a 1080 to 1140 by studying SAT tricks. My math went up 40.

I need that score for a 100 percent tuition state-wide scholarship.

If you have a 4.4/3.9 GPA and receive those scores, it really points to huge grade inflation at your school (and colleges will know this, if it's true).

You could either focus on where you're weak (reading), or what I suggest would be focusing on where you're STRONG (math). You're probably more confident in math and would be more willing to learn new stuff in it. Aim for 800 and hopefully you'll get lucky on the reading section.
