I’m a Vietnamese and going to take SAT in Jan 2016. In my country people don’t use English as a mother tongue, it make difficult to ace the test, especially in writing and reading section. Thus,I Want to ask advices from you guys if possible. Thank you for reading my story.
P.s. I had learned vocab from vocabulary cartoon sat words and direct hits. If possible can you recommend any books ?
Knowji vocabulary iPhone app is what you want.
Plus, you need to watch American TV shows to train your ear for English.
Yep, watching TV in English, reading books, practice your vocab. For the Writing section you just need to learn the grammar rules. The ultimate guide of the SAT grammar by Erica Meltzer and for reading there is no easy way to learn but the Direct Hits book and the SAT prep black book do a great job explaining. Best of luck!
There are many internet language sources plus Rosetta Stone.
Personally, I recommend Franz Kafka’s plethora of short stories. Nobody knows exactly what he was implying with them even though they are still considered classic, thus making them ideal as potential examples for the essay since you can twist them into whatever the prompt ask for most of the time.
Also, study as if your life depended on it.
