<p>I'm a high school juniour the first time I took the SAT was last January, I took a Princeton review course which I think was pretty useless. I got Princeton Review Cracking the SAT and Barron's math workbook I did study a little from them. I took a score of 1370 total (500 writing, 410 reading, 460 math) I don't know how to study for the test I'm taking in May. Can provide me with a good strategy for studying that won't affect my studying for school?</p>
<p>Do all the steps below:
Step 1- Learn hundreds of SAT words
Step 2- Practice each part of the SAT for two hours a day tops
Step 3- Take practice exams twice a month
Step 4- Read dr. chung’s sats math
Step 5- Look up archtypes for the sat essay(This is no way to really prepare for the essay when it comes down to find the right information for examples)
Step 6- LOOK UP “How to write a 12 essay”
Step 7- Practice speed reading, trust me it helps
Step 8- Look up how to read and answers passages and question efficiently for the critical reading part.
Step 9- Last, get a friend to help.
There are probably more steps, but I just cannot think of anymore. Oh wait, get the blue book.</p>
<p>It really depends on how you study. Personally, I just take the Blue Book and do some practice tests, then show up to the test with a pencil, eraser, 3 bottles of Coke, and a TI-84. With a starting score of 1370, you’re more likely to need complete review books (eg Princeton Review, Chungs, Barrons, etc) to work sections out of. The courses are not very useful IMO. Try number2.com, I like it.</p>
<p>Also, this made me laugh: Dr. Chung has successfully helped nearly a thousand students achieve perfect scores on the SAT and the SAT II: Math I and II, enabling them to gain entry to Ivy League schools such as Harvard, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and Stanford.
Since when are MIT and Stanford Ivies?</p>
<p>I am gonna be concise: vocabulary.</p>
