<p>I was looking through the xiggi thread and there are like 100000000 posts, separated by some non-related SAT jibberish by other members. </p>
<p>Can somebody sum up the famous "xiggi method" in one paragraph? I think this would be beneficial to everyone on this board. The main xiggi topic is just way too long and some of it is rather old--the thread was started more than 1 year ago--I believe?</p>
<p>There isn't any method. Seriously, except like practice.</p>
<p>it basically says to divide the collegeboard's official guide into sections rather than tests and then take a test or two UNTIMED to see what you are capable of then after preparation take sections of CR/MATH/WRITING (the first couple untimed then all others timed) and see you're improvement....after you've done prepping and have say 4 tests....then you can start taking a whole test (Timed)...</p>
<p>but like glucose 101 said...it basically just says to practice</p>
<p>anyone else? bump</p>
<p>Sigh.....</p>
<p>Move your cursor to the Google search area. Type 'xiggi method'. Click on <go>, and read what shows up.</go></p>
<p>I browsed the Xiggi method a while back while I was still SAT-ing (DONE forever now!), and I understand your confusion with the thread, lol. It took hours of searching... basically I think it means try to take as many Blue Book tests as possible, and REVIEW ALL YOUR ANSWERS - EVEN THE CORRECT ONES. That's basically key. It's so you understand how you got the correct answer so you can do it again and again on the actual exam.</p>
<p>To get a concise summary by Xiggi himself:</p>
<ol>
<li>Google "admissions advice"</li>
<li>Go to the blog with that name</li>
<li>Go to Join the Discussion</li>
<li>Go to Preparing for College, Test Prep</li>
<li>Bring up Xiggi's musings on preparing for the SAT</li>
</ol>
<p>I am posting this on the sticky Xiggi thread too for future reference. One last thing, it really works. Good luck!</p>
