What kind of pSAT did you take? If it was just a practice test (rather than the official PSAT) then it might not be that accurate a score– some people do better on practice tests, some people do worse. It’s hard to simulate the testing environment and to accurately get an idea of how you’ll do. Get a review book and take practice tests– if you really think you can get around a 2000, then you’re smart enough to study well! Use a practice test to tell you what you specifically need to work on, and find information to help you on those specific areas. Especially in the math: the SAT covers only particular areas in math and certain ways of solving problems, so it’s a matter of studying the right KIND of math and getting used to solving the kind of problems they ask. For the critical reading and writing, get some higher-level reading material (the classics, the type of thing you read in school) and just READ for a while every day. This will improve your reading comprehension, your grammar, and your vocabulary all at the same time! Review basic grammar rules and get a SAT vocabulary builder of some sort. Make flashcards– be sure to write up the flashcards yourself, because sometimes the act of writing down the words can do as much for memorization as the flashcards themselves. Practice, practice, practice! Use College Board’s online practice, and anything else you can find: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/prep_one/prep_one.html .

Good luck!

SAT Subject tests are ones you may need to take later (they are in areas like Foreign Language, science, history, math, and English; you’ll need to take 2-3 different tests) to get into many of the more selective colleges.

As far as studying for the SAT goes, you need to buy one of those books, like the Princeton Review SAT book, to study for the test. So get started studying!
