<p>I am going to be a senior
and i am going to retake SAT 1 reason in Oct
so far all my SAT 2s are 800s, so my SAT 1 is really pulling me down</p>
<p>in January i got
2090
780 in math (stupid mistake >.< got 80 on both PSAT i took and all the practice tests. so yeah. not worried about math. just the other two)
640 in reading
670 in writing</p>
<p>but that was two weeks after my 2-year-long bf broke up with me, so that 2 weeks i didn't really do any practice, and wasn't in a good mood during the test either
but i know that my skill right now is about 2150- 2180 ish</p>
<p>i really want a high 2200s to as high as i can in Oct</p>
<p>i have :
the offical blue book
the online course
11 Princeton test
barron's writing workbook
barron's verbal workbook
kaplan's verbla workbook</p>
<p>and i am also gonna do some ACT practice so I an gonna take the ACT in sept</p>
<p>for people who studied really hard and end up with 2300+
how should i use my time?
what should i do?
which book first?
and other book i should get?</p>
<p>take the practice tests (fully simulated conditions, don't break it up) and tear through them to understand what you got right or wrong, on every question. imagine how prepared you will be if you've done 5+ SATs and you understand every question on them. i'm a tad worried about the explanations that you get with CB and PR but since those are the books you have, i'm sure you can work with them and ask people for help if you get stuck</p>
<p>i have the offcial CB book explanations from the online course
i already did like....20 + practice test >.<
a friend of mine did 38 practice tests and went from 2060 to 2380</p>
<p>holy crap going to do that right now... or eventually</p>
<p>hmm... I started out at 1990, so I should get 2310? Sweet...</p>
<p>If you want my advice, even though I prob won't get a 2300+, get your CR score up by doing practice, and going back and not only looking at your mistakes, but those that you guessed on and got right. That way, you know what judgements you made that were good (as in you ended up choosing the College Board's favorite answer). You will slowly get a feel for what the right answer is like when you're choosing. </p>
<p>For writing, go through a book that lists all the possible errors you could have. When you're unsure about a question, go through each answer choice and eliminate like you do the other sections.</p>
<p>just a LOT of random books even if they are not realistic, he got practice problems from this SAT class we took. but mainly the SAT class only really makes you stay on track of studying. don't teach you much really. Lots and lots of practice helps</p>
