<p>Like how should I schedule my day so I can see the best results? Should I study for the SAT 3 hours everyday? Which books should I used? I plan on studying all summer.</p>
<p>I don't want to study to the point where it will end up being counter-productive... That's the LAST thing I want.</p>
<p>Which book is good for the writing section? I don't mean the essay, but I mean the actual grammar part. I'm HORRIBLE at grammar. </p>
<p>Also which book is good for vocab? Xiggi's thread said that books like Barrons and Kaplan suck at predicting SAT vocab words. Is there ANY book that's good then?</p>
<p>I usually do a section of math, writing and CR a day, go over my answers and reference my other books while I’m practicing. I LIKE studying for the SAT, in a really weird way, so I’ll end up sitting there for 3 hours without even realizing the time with by, haha… I’m really just sticking with the Blue Book & Gruber’s 2400 right now. Most of my questions come up in math, and I can usually find a method in Gruber’s that helps me.</p>
<p>A lot of people on here are really anti-Princeton Review, but I was having the same grammar problem as you after I took my first SAT. BUT - Princeton Review’s book has a quick list of things to check for in the writing multiple choice that REALLY helped me out - my writing score went from a 490 to a 610 because of that list!</p>
<p>All the prep I did for the SAT was BB stuff. Over the summer I took about one a week under the actual time constraints, looking over my answers, etc. Ended up with a 2330 on the real thing in one sitting, and decided re-taking would be too neurotic.</p>
<p>That, of course, is just official prep; I guess the great body of ‘preparation’ I did was in regular life/school. Actual reading - like quality magazines and books - is great preparation for the CR section. No suggestions on Grammar, though :/</p>
<p>Sparknotes grammar section is really great
you can find it online on their website for free.</p>
