<p>So my second SAT is in a week, and I procrastinated...again. Any tips for last chance studying, what to focus on, etc.? I have the Blue Book. Also, I'm hoping to raise my CR and Math by 50 each if possible.</p>
<p>Same. Doesn't matter, I'll start in either 10 minutes or tomorrow.</p>
<p>Maybe next time you should plan out a study period. For example, I am planning to work out of the blue book & Barron's math workbook for 8 weeks during the summer. (I want to raise my 640 math to 750.)</p>
<p>I plan study time. I make detailed schedules.
I always end up the week before with nothing done.</p>
<p>Frankly, I'm having a tough time keeping my books closed until the October test date is closer.</p>
<p>I'll open the books in September and then close them again untill the week before the October test date.</p>
<p>lol. (10 char)</p>
<p>i never study what i had planned (Except for my first SAT.)
the SAT is a week away and here's what i've done so far:
1 math test. :D</p>
<p>what i do in these situations is: i just do as many questions as is humanly possible.</p>
<p>Ya, I told myself I was going to study in advance...but i didnt, haha. Oh well, I'll see what I can do this week, and study this summer if I don't get a good enough score.</p>
<p>ughh... I just had one of those books with like 7 prep tests in it or whatever and I took all 7... raised my score by 190 points.</p>
<p>Okay guys and gals, don't procrastinate. I know that's easier said than done, but seriously. You're going to kick yourself when the time comes to take the test. If I were you, open that Blue Book and start with page one.</p>
<p>"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."</p>
<p>The blue book isn't <em>that</em> big. Most of it is practice tests, and the rest goes along at a pretty good pace.</p>
<p>Anyway, unless you've been accepted to spend the summer in a research lab 10 hours a day (I'm planning to work on the Siemens for a good amount of time each day, but not all day), there isn't much else to do <em>except</em> study for the SAT.</p>
<p>Ok, last week....cram some vocab :) Bring lists EVERYWHERE you go and keep looking through them, definitely a FEW will appear, I guarantee :) It happened in may...so it's gotta happen again...There was still a lot I didn't know, but it's better than nothing</p>
<p>I procrastinate like no tomorrow. I DID take a few (mostly useless) SAT prep classes over the summer, but here was MY study plan, which I did all the week before the SATs, hahaha... </p>
<p>PRECOCIOUS'S SAT STUDY PLAN FOR THE PROCRASTINATE PRONE</p>
<p>(using the blue book for march 2005 and up)</p>
<p>saturday - REVIEW CR & WRITING [practice test #1]
sunday - REVIEW MATH [practice test #2, #3]
monday - test #4
tuesday - test #5
weds - test #6
thurs - test #7
friday - test #8 (go to bed early. like 9-10pm if you can, disregard any homework you have to do for the weekend)
saturday - TEST DAY! good breakfast, yummy snacks forr break (you'll need it) and all that jazzzzz </p>
<p>annnd the grand result was 2200, folks :)</p>
<p>That was my exact score.</p>
<p>With that kind of training I'd say the overall effectiveness would be around 45%, depending on the individual's ability to assimilate "information". </p>
<p>But hey, it looks like a good plan for some last-minute preparations before the big test.</p>
<p>Precious: I am going to apply your plan. :)</p>
<p>Even though I'm still waiting for those goddarn may sat scores.</p>
<p>I had a similar method. Except I had prepped for 6 weeks before the sats. The last week though, I took 1 test on wed, 1 on thur, and 1 on friday. Before that, I took 1 test each sunday adn saturday.</p>
<p>You should practice gradually. For the one week, two or three practice test each day, with a lot of preparation, you should take the last practice test two days before the actually test date to see how well you'll do, and for the day before the Test Date, relax. Do nothing, and just chill.</p>
<p>Birdman (GinPA): just give up, because you are a bird, and birds can't read or write or do math (well, maybe a couple can, but not you!).</p>
