<p>I've been trying to study for the SAT this summer but I'm lagging a little. I have Gruber's math and complete guide 2009 edition, also PR and BB. I just want to study but I don't know where to start. Especially in math and CR (I'm good in writing).. Please help. Any schedules inbox me and I'll give you my email.</p>
<p>Can you do the same thing for me?</p>
<p>You don’t need us to make a fixed schedule. Spend a couple hours a day, Monday-Friday. Do a practice section from the BB each day from Monday to Wednesday, and then spend the next two days doing additional sections you had trouble with.
You have PR, so just use the vocabulary list in PR’s SAT book and do 10-25 vocab words a day (I use flashcards).
After you’ve done enough practice sections to make up an entire SAT test, take a full practice test with real conditions and whatnot on a Saturday morning. Do this all summer.</p>
<p>30-45min a day studying a single section a day. 5-6days a week</p>
<p>thanxs guys :)</p>
<p>The following I received from Vicki at PowerScore. Regardless of whether you use her products, the schedule looks great and you can always make your own flashcards.</p>
<p>INDEPENDENT STUDY GUIDE FOR THE SAT</p>
<p>WEEK 1: Introduction and Passage-Based Reading
• Introduce yourself to the SAT by reading Chapters 1 and 2 of the Blue Book (pages 3-20).
• Read Chapter 4: About the Critical Reading Section (pages 29-30).
• Read and complete Chapter 6: Passage-based Reading (pages 49-86).
• Complete pages 459-462 and 476-480.
• Take three timed sections from Practice Test 4 (Section 2 on page 576, Section 5 on page 587, and Section 8 on page 605). Time yourself and mark where you are when time is called. Then finish the remainder of the section untimed. Check your answers and review any questions you missed or answers you correctly guessed. It is imperative that you understand why you struggled with a question. Was it a word in the answer choice? A phrase in the passage? You can compute your Reading score using pages 621-623. Be sure to only count the questions you completed before time was called when scoring the sections.
• Print the PowerScore Repeat Offenders Flash Cards (not yet posted) and begin studying the Top 200 Repeat Offender vocabulary words. Remove any words to which you already know the definition and study the ones you do not know. Once you master these cards, move to the remaining decks in the following order: Easy, Medium, People, Hard, and Extreme. It is most important to cover the first 4 decks before the end of summer; the Hard and Extreme words do not have to be memorized.
• Begin reading and analyzing one passage a day as explained in the SAT Free Help Area. (LINK TO [PowerScore</a> SAT Preparation | Free SAT Help Area](<a href=“http://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/reading_comp_practice.cfm]PowerScore”>SAT Reading Comprehension Practice | PowerScore)).
