How I Improved My SAT Score From 1460 to 1580 Through Self-Study

Progress, finally. I've been solely self-studying using books. I saved all the Bluebook practice tests until after I thoroughly finished both books. I was at first disappointed with my 1460 but have since improved up to a 1580 (preparing to take my first SAT ever).

Do you have any specific strategies for how to approach the English section using those harder questions?

So you didn't take a single diagnostic test before that? You just went straight into content learning?

That is an insane level of discipline. Most people take a diagnostic first to see where they are at, but your method clearly works.

Also, use Erica Meltzer's grammar books and do all the question bank questions you can find. That is the standard for breaking 700+ in English.

I am hard stuck in English and my current score is a 630 rw and 770 math. Idk how you have made so much progress so fast. Should I be doing an error log with a …

Normally error logs are optional. If you're not messing up on a ton of stuff it's not needed, but since you are stuck at 630, you definitely need to log why you…
