This is a thread for anyone considering to take the SAT on Saturday, December 5, 2015 in the United States.
Use this thread to discuss preparation tips. The registration deadline is Thursday, November 5, 2015.
After the examination, you may discuss test questions, but do so at your own risk. Do NOT, however, post links to Google Docs, as they will be removed. On a similar note, do not ask for them either.
Good luck! 
Welp⊠apparently I missed the deadline for the November test. Oh well, I guess I will have to take this one.
Who else is taking the December test here? Any tips on how to get a good score?
@ensigmapi
You can still register past the deadline but itâll be about $28 more.
Will take this one
To all of you future test takers out there, I highly recommend Erica Meltzerâs Grammar Workbook to practice for the writing section. By studying from that book, I got an 800 on the writing section in October. It really helps!
Yes, but Meltzerâs CR book is pretty bad
I believe her CR book is outstanding. Perhaps I think so because she is ârectifying my thinking processâ - I feel like she wrote this book as if she undertstands how I think and corrects my thinking.
Doing Dec too.
Meltzerâs CR book is great, but her writing book is a masterpiece. :bz
I donât know why I put a bee here. 
@thetex -
Whoa there, this is way off base. I have several criticisms of it and I think it misses out on several important methods, but itâs one of the very best CR books available.
@marvin100 Could you please tell the rest of us what important methods you have? I didnât do great on the October Critical Reading section, so I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks!
@ambitionsquared - sorry, but canât share all my trade secrets but that said, I think thereâs some very useful stuff in the Mike Barrett book.
is it bad to retake the old sat tests and tests from the blue book because i already took them?
@truculent You could, but it probably wouldnât be as effective if youâve already taken those exams. Iâd suggest looking into other prep books for practice exams; even if they arenât the most accurate representations of the actual SAT, itâs much better to take a new test. Thatâs my opinion though.
@azwu331 how do the Kaplan tests compare to the real test?
@truculent Truth be told, Iâm not a big fan of Kaplan prep books. However, their practice tests are decent. I would also recommend the Princeton Reviewâs practice tests if you havenât used them already.
Hey tuning in now mostly for the convo after! Got a 2110 in october with just about the worst curve in history. Somehow bombed my math section so im going mainly for the 800 math and a higher writing to superscore with my past reading. If anyone here has gotten a 12 on his essay please share how. I thought i was good then got a 9 in october
I really hope math will be easier than Novemberâs.
Which books are you using to prepare? Also about how much time at night do you have to prepare?? I feel like I have 0 time to study so I am just hoping it wonât be too bad :)) plezz collegeboard take pity on me
My sat study schedule is integrated with school literally lol. I study word lists during ap euro, writing section during ap lit, and i do a math section at lunch time. Then if i have time after school i take a writing section
