Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I'm glad to say that I just gave the free online SAT practice test (last year's version) and scored 800 in math, with a few minutes remaining in each math section. :D </p>

<p>However, I only managed a 680 in reading and 670 in writing, mostly because of problems with vocabulary. I find it weird, however, as I had no problems with vocabulary on the Barron's tests -- which is supposedly harder!</p>

<p>So, what should I do? Was it just luck? Would reading more passages be better, or reading more Dickens and Bronte for a more competitive vocabulary. I manage to learn 15-20 random new words each day from Barron's flash cards, hot words, 3500 words, blah blah blah.</p>

<p>If you're weak on vocab, why don't you improve vocab? Work on your weaknesses. Think for yourself.</p>

<p>I've said it before and I'll say it again - actively reading challenging English books/publications is the best CR prep there is, IMO.</p>

<p>What do you mean by challenging English books/publications?
Literary classics?</p>
