<p>Hi I need your advise on how to go about studying for this ridiculous test within a month.
Here's the deal, I am ready to kill my social life and lose my sleep to make it 2200+.
Right now, with absolutely NO preparation I average around 1800. I have these books:
- Rocket Review
- Grubers (2008)
- Barrons (How to Prepare for the SAT)
- Barrons 2400
- Blue Book</p>
<p>With only 1 month to go how can I improve my score? What books should I focus on?
My math is my strongest, fairing about 1-2 wrong a section (i know its bad, hopefully with prep i can cut this down). Then CR and writing are in the same range.</p>
<p>Rocket Review and Blue Book will be your best friends. Use them wisely. </p>
<p>And don't sweat it, you've got plenty of other chances to take the test if you bomb it in March. You've got May, June, October, December, and January.</p>
<p>K so ill start RR and Blue book.
For the BB should I take tests in one setting or break them up? I was thinking 2 tests in a sitting every week.
The thing is i;ve got May but AP's are right around the corner, and im self-studying a bunch. June i'n planning on taking 2 subject tests, which leaves me in Oct.
Nov, Dec - I don't really wanna push it that late unless I have no other option. </p>
<p>Thanks for the reply though.</p>
<p>O and how should i go about studying vocab, and practicing essay writing??</p>
<p>One test will take you about 3 hours...I'd suggest doing at one complete exam with limited breaks just so you get a feel for what to expect.</p>
<p>Studying vocab: I'll say read lots of advanced material (e.g. The Economist). Others will suggest memorizing vocab lists. Depends on how you want to approach it.</p>
<p>Practicing essay writing: Er...find old essay topics and write? Compare your essays to examples given by the Collegeboard and/or ask others to read for feedback...</p>
<p>K so i took a practice test today and I am getting 780-800 on Math, but my CR and writing is weak, especially writing.
How should I go about improve these two? Especially writing?</p>
<p>For writing, you should go over your exam and see what questions you're getting wrong. Do a thorough examination about what you know and what you don't know. Are you having trouble with subject-verb agreement, for instance? Then pick up a grammar book or something and learn it, until you've gotten it down.</p>
