<p>step 1 gather all SAT material available
step 2 make a list of "good advices" from sat material
step 3 get a CB Blue book and do untimed test and review all answers
step 4 take timed test</p>
<p>How about this plan instead:</p>
<ol>
<li>Get one book (any book), and do the practice tests</li>
</ol>

<p>No, I thought this was the Xiggi method.</p>
<p>Condensed Xiggi Method:
1. Buy the Blue Book
2. The first two tests take without a time limit and you can use anything for reference. You do not have to sit through the 3 hours. You can take each section individually. Grade, check, and understand answers. Find the SAT patterns.
3. Next two tests are done without a time limit and without any reference. Take each section individually. Grade, check, and understand answers. Use the patterns.
4. Next two tests are done with time limit and without reference. Grade, check and understand answers.
5. Last tests are done under time limit. Grade, check, and understand answers.</p>
<ul>
<li>You can use the old red book for extra help</li>
<li>You can use strategies you've learned and see what works for you</li>

<p>whats the "Cb blue book" ... I bought the 10 real sat's prep book by Collegeboard? is that the same thing?</p>
<p>The CB Blue Book is for the NEW SAT(after March 2005). It has 8 practice tests. It is the successor to the old "10 Real SATs." The old book is still useful for the Math and Verbal sections, as long as you take out the analogies and Quantitative Comparisons. But for the Writing section and the slightly more advanced Math on the new SAT, you will need the Blue Book.
Basically, the Blue Book is the most essential book for SAT prep, as it is the only one with official tests for the new test.</p>
<p>Quitejaded's version is pretty close to what carolyn and I had posted in the Xiggi thread before Xiggi gave a more elaborate version. </p>
