<p>Hi all, I know this has probably been answered before, but I can't find it in the CC search engine so I'm trying here :)</p>
<p>I'm sitting the May SAT. At this stage, is it best just to do loads of practice tests and improve off those?</p>
<p>We need more information.</p>
<p>What’s your current score, have you prepped before, etc…?</p>
<p>If you haven’t done the blue book tests, I would recommend going through those thoroughly, and checking whatever you get wrong.</p>
<p>Blue book arrives at my address by 19 Apr (due to slow postal service).</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the SAT before, but I have done a few practice tests and took the College Board Official SAT Practice Test 2008-9 and 2009-10. </p>
<p>The scores I received for these were:</p>
<p>2009-10
M 800
MC W 78</p>
<p>2008-9
M 760</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the CR on either of these yet, but plan to shortly. My CR is currently my worst on other practice tests (SparkNotes CR 700, Peterson’s 650-700).</p>
<p>Memorize barrons vocab list</p>
<p>Barrons have two vocab lists 3500 words and 1000 words. Try 1000 first and then move on to 3500.</p>
<p>Just use Direct Hits. I don’t see the reason to memorize 3500 words.</p>
<p>Direct Hits has the best vocab. Don’t use practice tests that aren’t real. I think there are a few other real tests floating around on the internet…but I’m not sure where. You can check around on CC.</p>
<p>For CR, just keep doing practice passages. And if you’ve run out, PM me.</p>
