<p>Some tips in no particular order:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Study/memorize vocab words everyday. I memorized about 25-30 everyday. I used flashcards to study, since that’s the best way for me to memorize things. </p></li>
<li><p>Take one practice test every weekend. ONLY use practice tests from Collegeboard. Once you finish the tests from the Blue Book, look into Collegeboard’s online course. For $70 (look in the Blue Book for a discount; it’s $70 without the discount), you can get ten more practice tests.</p></li>
<li><p>Cut out all the questions you miss and put them into a notebook. Frequently review the notebook and make sure you understand all of the questions, why you missed them, and how to get the correct answer. </p></li>
<li><p>Read: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html</a></p></li>
<li><p>It’s easy to master the writing section, because you just have to memorize a bunch of grammar rules. I used the Barron Writing Workbook and found it very helpful (because it lists all the rules and gives you practice with the rules). </p></li>
<li><p>For math and critical reading, just practice, practice, practice. What math book did you buy? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck! I’ll be around if you need any more help, but those are just some tips off the top of my head.</p>
