<p>@luofernando: how did you prep for your writing 750? i'm aiming around there in december.</p>
<p>im taking dec sat and im not studying at all, pfft. i'll cram till the last week > : ]</p>
<p>If you haven't already done it, the SAT practice test on the College Board website Free</a> SAT Practice Test | Online SAT Practice is a real SAT and is more current than the BB tests. You will receive full explanations of the answers for all 3 sections too.</p>
<p>The College Board also has full explanations for the PSAT practice booklet 2008</a> PSAT/NMSQT Practice Test Explanations. You need to get a copy of the 2008 Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT from your college counseling office. Even though it is a PSAT it will be very helpful in studying for the SAT especially having the full explanations.</p>
<p>gruber's and blue book!!!</p>
<p>schrizto "haha I've never heard the word "entering" used for a test before :P"</p>
<p>It's real nice of you to stick to the main point</p>
<p>Studying BB.</p>

<p>hmmm how am i preparing...? lets put it this way how am i not preparing? lol seriously ap bio , ap us and the ISEF competition is more than enough to worry about. i am taking the SAT in december too, but it seems like i haven't been paying any attention to it =[ i'm screwd.</p>
<p>ChocklitRain, your location amuses me. The top of the bell-curve, fyi, is also known as the "average" or the point under which most people fall.</p>
<p>To use SAT scores as an analogy, a bell curve would be close to the "x axis" for score of around 600 because hardly anyone gets them (y axis is no. of people making that score) and same with a 2400. </p>
<p>In the middle, at the top of the bell curve, you have 1500ish, the average score :P </p>
<p>Here is an example: <a href="http://www.greyardmitchell.com/images/SAT-bell-curve.gif%5B/url%5D">http://www.greyardmitchell.com/images/SAT-bell-curve.gif</a></p>
<p>On Topic: I am studying by taking a couple of QAS that I have gotten. I consistently get 800 CR and close to that in M, usually -1 or -2 for W, just trying to close the gap now for the 2400 :)</p>
<p>Umm Blue Book, Rocket Review, PR 11, and DH...just need to get 750+ CR and stop making stupid mistakes in math for 800...</p>
<p>taking reasoning,
using
bb, gruber's, rocket review, direct hits</p>
<p>it was pointed out to me already that the top of a bell curve is the average, but i decided to keep my location just to annoy the statisticians of CC ;)</p>
<p>I'm taking a practice test from the Blue Book each week. I'll probably review in depth the questions I got wrong a few days before the exam.</p>
<p>I have a giant blue book, and should definitely study. I only got a 26 on the SAT, so I've got to get at least a 1900 or else I'm gonna feel like a pretty huge failure.</p>
<p>^ Choklit Rain, you silly sausage. I was joking; don't take it so personally.</p>
<p>@ Obstinate: Maybe you could try some prep books to supplement the blue book. But you're definitely on the right track with the Blue Book.</p>
<p>you are so average choklit rain. (top of the bell curve)</p>
