Does my summer study plan sound good enough?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I'm going into sophomore year. I'm planning on taking the SATs in October. </p>

<p>My PSAT scores were 69 CR, 73 M, and 65 W. I am aiming for 2300+. Do you think my goal is possible?</p>

<p>So far, I have ordered the Blue Book, the Official SAT Online Course from the CB, Direct Hits Core Vocabulary, Dr. Chung's, Barron's 2400, and Kaplan math workbook. Should I get the Direct Hits Volume 2 as well? </p>

<p>I have a tutor working with me on the writing section, and we should be done with grammar and essay-writing by the end of the summer, so I'm not really worried about that. However, I am worried about the sentence completion portion of the CR section. Although I'm a top-notch English student, our family doesn't speak English at home so my vocabulary might be lacking compared to my peers. I am completely fine with the passage-based reading though, and usually miss 0 to none of those questions. </p>

<p>My plan was to study Direct Hits, Sparknotes 1000, and the Kaplan math workbook throughout July, and start working on the practice tests, Dr. Chung's, and Barron's 2400 in August and September, when I will (hopefully) have a better vocabulary and a solid understanding of SAT math. </p>

<p>Does my plan sound okay? Thanks!</p>

<p>To me, the goal seems reachable considering your score.
Some advice for the books.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Get both of the DH books. Volume 1 is easier than the second one. Combined, the two books add up to 400 words. It’s not much. In addition, if you can get one, study Essential 500 words by Larry Krieger.</p></li>
<li><p>For the math book, I don’t know much about Kaplan but I heard that Grubbers is one of the best. Most people recommend studying Dr. Chung’s and Grubbers together.</p></li>
<li><p>For CR and Grammar, get the SAT Black Book or Grammatix. Both are very similar, since they are from the same author. SAT Black book is the upgraded version of the other. Plus, get Rocket Review Revolution. I haven’t studied one before but I am planning to get one. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>I’m also a sophomore who is aiming for a 2300+. Cheers</p>
