How should I prepare myself for my deadline?

<p>I bought the Barron’s Sat Math Workbook 5th edition.
Also for the vocab I bought the book word smart 5th edition, so i make notecards along the way. Do you think making notecards along the way is a good idea, or should I just by the pre-made SAT vocab notecards that they sell at like barnes and nobles?
And thank you so much for the help! :)</p>
