23 year old Soldier competing with 18 year old Seniors.

<p>Wow! You are all on top of your game and I am deeply appreciative of the advice. I have already ordered The Official SAT Study guides (both editions on Amazon). I am not able to go book shopping on an immediate basis because I am currently in Iraq and due to return stateside in November.</p>

<p>I am working through the CB OC in order to provide myself with the most accurate representation of my current level of preparation. I do, however, have a difficult task of finding the time in order to spend 4 hours on a practice test due to my current situation (although the save and exit option is available, I feel that it takes away from the realistic mental stress that I need to prepare for). In addition I am very limited in my options for my IHL of choice. The military GI Bill limits me to in-state tuition and fees, unless the IHL participates in a special ‘yellow ribbon’ program.</p>

<p>English comp and grammar have always been a natural strong point for me, and I am not overly concerned with the task of improving on my current scores in CR and WR. I am very concerned with the task of improving on math which is neither natural nor properly taught to me. </p>

<p>I will take every single shred of advice that you all have so graciously provided into consideration. My unit is not supportive of any personnel seeking to leave the Army for any reason and I am glad that you all are providing me with a safe refuge from that sort of close-mindedness.</p>

<p>Sincerely, a grateful Soldier,
Specialist Sean T, 82nd Airborne Infantry</p>

<p>Xiggi, you’re kind of a big deal on CC, from what I can tell. I’m actually a kind of bewildered that you replied to my post. Thank you.</p>
