Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Well I took the sat for the first time in June of this year, and got a score of 1740. I want to get at least a 2000, if not than at least a 1920. I have the updated new edition of the Blue Book, Barrons 2400, and Purple Book of Practic SATs by Kaplan. In addition I have access to kaplans online coursework beacuse I am enrolled in the class for the summer which ends in 2 weeks by the way. Anyways with these books where should I start and how do I go about my study plan. When and how to take practice tests? And from which books? Advice from this community would be greatly appreciated since I hear a lot of you are quite smart, so please help a guy out. The second time I take the test is on October 1st by the way.</p>

<p>I’m in the same situation as you :confused: I’m trying to prepare in 3 months as well.
So far, this is what I’m doing:
Critical Reading:
My problem area!!

  • Reading atleast 10+ books this summer. (2 required, 3+ SAT recommended books, the rest is other books I’ve always wanted to read)
  • Studying roots words. This actually really helps.
  • Studying the top vocab for the SAT as well. (they’re many free guides on quizlet. Just type in SAT vocab, or a specific popular list you heard of (The Hit Parade, Direct Hits, Top 1000 words, etc)).
  • Reading from NY times.</p>

<p>Math:
Well math is my strong area. The highest I’ve ever reached is 700, but I want to get higher.

  • Practice from the SAT Math 800 book. I forgot the name, but it’s helpful.
  • Practice a question atleast 3 times a week.
  • Go over the basics (algebra, geometry, word problems, etc).</p>

<p>Writing:

  • Soon, I’m planning on buying a SAT Grammer book.
  • Reading would also help in this area.</p>

<p>Yeah… that’s what I’m planning on doing for the next couple of months. I’ve tried everything else - SAT prep, and even my school had an SAT prep for 2 weeks. I’ve learned that working individually and being my own motivator is better for me.</p>

<p>Check out the post from 7-4 on SAT study schedule. I posted a very detailed 12-week schedule that Vicki from PowerScore shared with me. I think it’s a great outline. You can always supplement with the other resources you have collected.
