<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>I am gonna be a junior this fall and will be taking the SATs in June. My questions is, how early is TOO early to be studying. I have Kaplan's plus the CB book, and am aiming for a 2100+.</p>
<p>Is it too early to be studying for the SAT now? If so, are there small things I could do that could help me in the long run??</p>
<p>Any imput is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>you should try to take it a couple of times. June is pretty late. Try studying in the summer and aiming earlier so you will have a chance in June to retake. Like take them december/january and retake in june if you need to</p>
<p>there is no such thing as too much studying.</p>
<p>I would say that studying now is kinda early. start in December or something; that is more than enough time. and get rid of Kaplan too, it's no good.
You should read alllllot. Novels, newspaper...etc. That'll help your CR score.</p>
<p>It's never too early to start studying. Start seriously studying now and take the SAT for real when either you feel confident that you can get a pefect score or you can't make any more improvements. If I have one regret about the SAT, it's that I didn't start studying early enough.</p>
<p>our children already "study" a little each day (SAT question of the day , word of the day) and they started this in 7th grade. They have also worked with essays. but who is to say that they will do any better than the person who starts studying 6 months in advance.</p>
<p>I'm also going to be a junior this fall, and I've started studying already. Its much easier to study now, in the summer, than during the school-year when there will be so much other stuff to do, like homework. Its probably good to do some revision a few weeks ahead of the test too, but geting started early means less stress. Instead of cramming for hours, you can simply do an hour or two a day when you feel like it. Another reason why I wanted to start studying now is that that way I can get it done with. If I feel ready I'll take the SAT in the fall and be able to focus SATIIs in the spring, instead of all at once. </p>
<p>As for small things- read! Seriously, just read anything you like, be it a magazine, junky novel or classic. Reading builds your vocabulary effortlessly (even if you don't bother looking up new words some will sink in anyway), you'll become a faster reader (really helpfull on the CR parts of the SAT), and you'll be exposed to good writing.</p>
<p>thanks for all the advice!</p>
<p>I would take it this fall/winter, but since i havent taken Algebra 2, my math score would suffer.</p>
<p>I already read a lot so i dont think the CR will be too much of a problem.</p>
<p>and is Kaplan really that bad?? Every person i know whos done really well (2200+) used it.</p>
<p>Kaplan books are waaaaaaay too easy. They do not reflect the real thing at all. everyone I know got low scores after using it.</p>
