I did terribly on the verbal section of the June SAT - - - -> 570 in case you're wondering..

If I study during the summer..is it possible for me to raise that score 200 points? Any suggestions on how to/waht to study? Thanks!

570 to a 770 (almost perfect score) is quite drastic, but I'm sure it's possible if you practice a lot (10 Real SAT's) and look over some word lists (Barron's is really good). Just stay focused and determined and I'm sure you'll have some substantial increase.

Well, I took the PSAT in the begining of my junior year and I got a 570, I took the SAT at the end of my junior year and got a 720. Want to know what I did. I took about 20+ practice tests (all timed) and memorized all of Kaplans and Barrons vocab words ( many of them are overlaps) and took it again and did much better. Anyone can get 700+ on the SAT verbal if you stud enough. If you are ready to make such a huge comminment, it is almost impossible to score poorly. Hope this helps
