<p>Let's share ideas and plans on how we're all going to study for the SAT. I honestly can't wait till the Jan 22 SAT, but I know I'm going to do bad since I'm a sophomore. Not sure why I signed up. i would love your studying recommendations!</p>
<p>The blue book all the way.Do all the practice tests.Then redo it again.</p>
<p>How do you recommend taking the tests? Should I make mock SAT’s with 4 hours of time, or section by section every few hours? </p>
<p>I have thought about doing several sections and then the weekend before the SAT do a full practice. What do you think?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>There was a time when I used to do a section per day, then a full test on Saturday and break on Sunday. But if you are starting now just try Cliffnotes SAT Cram Plan. It has plans for two months, one month and a week before the test. It helped me a lot!</p>
<p>Good luck on the 22nd!</p>
<p>does anyone know what should I brink when I consider stand by testing?</p>
<p>I am also taking the January SAT. For me, my weakness is Critical Reading. As a result, I am doing a Critical Reading Section a day and then going over the questions I missed thoroughly. Whenever I miss a question, I always ask myself what prompted me to pick the wrong answer and then try to not make that same mistake again. Otherwise, I will take two entire practice SATs every week up to the SAT. I am using the Blue Book and 11 Practice Test for the SAT by Princeton Review. The latter book is surprisingly very close to the difficulty of the real SAT.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any links to a scoring guideline for the practice tests in the BB? Only the first three have one.</p>
<p>As for my method: Wake up at 7ish. Read Barron’s 2400. 40-50 pages a day, taking brief notes, with a follow-up SAT section relevant to the topic. When I finish a topic, I take a full length SAT. Start new topic and repeat until all three are finished. After that, going to read sparknotes/cliffnotes (anyone know which is better?) and build an examples list, flip through Direct Hits, read the newspaper, do some more timed sections, and take a lot of vitamin B-6/12 + Omega fatty acids and protein.</p>
<p>I really like your ideas. I think I’m going to go with reading the SAT prep book and doing a couple sections separately.</p>
<p>Thank you maskerade! Good luck to you, too! :D</p>
<p>basically i am going to down about 1k words from barrons a day. do 2 essays a day. finish 2 practice tests a day and i think i should be ready:D</p>
<p>i really wanna ace this test. i have all the neccessary stuff. </p>
<p>just have to somehow convince my parents to make me take it in january cause they want me to take bio and math 2 instead and i am like i wanna take SAT first><</p>
<p>Following Xiggi, I work with one section at a time for 1 hour (30 minutes taking it and 30 minutes reviewing EVERYTHING wrong and right answers) I’m still in the middle of the first one xD However, I’m planning to repeat this for one or two more tests. </p>
<p>Thereafter, my next plan of action is to take 2 full tests without time limits and closed books. Then 5+ tests with time limits and 3 tests where I’ll try to shave some time to increase agility. However, I’m reserving my blue book and a couple QAS .pdf’s for preparation two weeks before the test.</p>
<p>It’s going to be an arduous winter xD Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I agree. Studying isn’t fun…</p>
<p>@ mechnesium - the first 3 SATs in the BB are real/previously administered tests, that is why they are the only ones with the scoring chart.</p>
