How to excel in CR and Math? My experience and problems

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Here are my problems:</p>

<p>1) Loosing track of time. Spending too much of time in the first 12 questions. 7 sentnece completion and 2 short passages. Then I am left with no time to attack the big passage. I am so good in voccub. But the logic of sentence completions kills me. I keep reading it over and over. I know that I have to finish all the Sentnece completion in less than 3 minutes. Then dedicate the other 22 minutes or less on answering 17 passage questions. I know that there are lot of smart guys here who can do it easily. In my case, I am left with no time and skip 5 or 6 questions at the end. Feel nauseated after that. </p>

<p>Here are my own thoughts and ideas.</p>

<p>1) Can I take a stop watch so that it tells me where the heck am I? For example, if I am answering question #10 and if I had had cosumed 12 minutes, something is not right.</p>

<p>2) the other major issue for me is to keep focussed. At home the atmosphere is so serene. While in school, there are lots of noise factors. The Proctor keeps scarring me wtth her time instructions. How can I isolate all these awaya from my head? I am agitated and nervous. I think that I should practice Yoga/Medidation to keep focussed</p>

<p>3) Keep reading and practice more reading passaages.</p>

<p>Practice makes you perfect.</p>

<p>1) Yes, you can bring a watch with you. I don’t know about a stop watch, but a regular watch is fine.</p>

<p>2) I think if you prepare well enough, you will realize just how simple (but flawed) the SAT is. The math is basic math that every college graduate should be able to do, and so is the writing and critical reading. I think if you’ve prepared well enough and have had plenty of practice, your nerves will calm down.</p>

<p>3) I guess you should practice more sentence completions. Plug in each choice into the sentence. Since you’re good at vocab, you should be able to tell which sentences just don’t make sense.</p>
