<p>By doing it in right after summer or winter break. ;)</p>
<p>No TV, No gaming, No Facebook. That should free up about 3 hours everyday to study SATs.</p>
<p>
I believe that’s called overkill.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I never had to give up either gaming or Facebook.</p>
<p>
Oh gosh…Not to brag, but I played Counterstrike almost incessantly for the weeks leading up to the test and I did very well! Certainly you don’t need to sacrifice these basic necessities (I would consider them necessities!).</p>
<p>summer camp does help
I went to Elite one summer, and it was really helpful.
Great teachers, didn’t have distractions, and it felt like a test environment</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ha ha! I, too, played Counter Strike: Source almost non-stop before my freshman SAT. 
Guess we found a new preparation method.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s funny because I also played CS Source like a freak back in 9th grade when I had nothing to do.</p>
<p>I’ve really had to curb my playing time during junior year: that game is way too addictive.</p>
<p>Normally, games get old pretty fast and the risk of addiction is negligible; CS: Source, however, never got old – even after thousands (yes, thousands) of hours of play time. :(</p>
<p>CS just seems to have a huuuuge entry barrier these days. Never got into it much myself but then maybe that’s a good thing ;)</p>
<p>Do you guys game anymore?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, the learning curve is brutal if you don’t know which servers to pick.</p>
<p>Yeah, I still play games. Team Fortress, Modern Warfare, that kind of thing. I’m so mainstream ha</p>
