Amazing Sat Improvements

Test Preparation
21

<p>tessa, I do agree that the Princeton REview tests were a lot harder than the real one...especially the reading section.</p>

<p>i just got the Barron 2400...feedback on that?</p>

22

<p>I don't know what to tell you, I never used the Barron's book.</p>

<p>But the other woman who last posted on this thread -- I already forget what her name is, sorry, it's really late and I just had something incredible and life-changing happen (seriously) so I can't really concentrate -- anyways, she is totally right. The absolute best thing you can do is to go look at your answers and find out EXACTLY why you got each one wrong and redo every single question until you get them right, then find a pattern within your wrong answers.</p>

23

<p>i had a bad score, i am gonna retake in college(self satisfaction) can i go up like 240 points? </p>

<p>If i want to transfer, will this effect me?</p>

24

<p>this might be a stupid question...but what exactly is the blue book?</p>

32

<p>2050 Kaplan Diagnostic Course test summer of 06-It's pretty damn hard-->2370 March 07</p>

<p>Basically, don't sign up for courses. They scare the living **** outta you with insane diganostics. They make you think you have so much to learn so when you take the real thing you ace it. I honestly advise you to get the Blue Book. The Blue Book should be your Bible...take care of it, keep it under your pillow, pray with it,...you get the point. Also, if you wish, sign up for the SAT online course. Don't take the course, just take their 6 extra SATs. (this is for the kid who already used the book) If you're wondering if it's worth it...if you're smart you can get the course for free...hehe.</p>

33

<p>This is the problem...I already have the blue book and I did all the practice tests in it and i still didn't get the score that i wanted =/ so i'm not left with too many options! ackk</p>
