<p>-So I brought the BB this morning (Check)
-I have thoroughly read Xiggi's advice (I made a book out of it on word by copy and paste, haha)
-Any more tips for a 300+ point increase (I'm at a 1480 so Im confident I can pull that score up.)</p>
<p>The best tip anyone can give you is: Review all questions, even the ones you got right.</p>
<p>Just do that and I can almost guarantee you that your score will increase 300+</p>
<p><em>shakes head</em> no no no</p>
<p>Pure “serious push into studying” won’t get you ANYWHERE</p>
<p>I can say without a doubt going over the writing section helped me get a 800 in it. Just “studying” won’t expose you to the weird and unique questions. </p>
<p>Same thing for Critical Reading. Everything is “standardized” so once you are familiar with the format, your chances of getting the question right increases significantly</p>
<p>well pretty much do practice problems and then review all of them like anhtimmy said.</p>
<p>by the way, can you send me a copy of the xiggi method that you made on word ?

<p>would appreciate it , thanks.</p>
<p>Well, reading about the SAT can’t get you that 300 point increase, now you actually have to start working on it!</p>
<p>Since you just got the BB, take one of the tests as a diagnostic to see which sections you’re especially weak on and work on those. After you’ve found your weak points, designate a certain section to each day you want to prep, DON’T take a full practice test but rather break the tests up into chunks which you can work on gradually. (These tests have to last you a really long time). </p>
<p>The Xiggi method won’t work for you if you don’t understand the concepts being tested on the SAT. The Xiggi method is more of a strategy to break down the test-- it assumes you already know the material, and that you’re just having trouble implementing it. So if you’re especially lost in the math, learn the math that you don’t know from a review book like Grubers. If you’re confused about grammar, go and learn the grammar rules. Tricks alone won’t get you very far. CR is a bit trickier, check out Noitaraperp’s thread, read the NYTimes/ New Yorker, buy Rocket Review, etc. </p>
<p>I hope this helps.</p>
