<p>I've got ten days; what are the best strategies to prepare for the SAT in that amount of time?</p>

<p>I have taken the SAT before, but I just bought a book of practice tests (10 of them) and would like some advice on a preparation schedule.</p>

<p>You plan to do 10 books in 10 days?</p>

3

<p>^Not ten books!</p>

<p>While it would be optimum to do a test each day, I don't have time in my schedule for that. That's why I'm asking for advice on how to get the most out of mini study sessions. (Math is my weakest subject btw).</p>

4

<p>Just study the math basics and take some practice sections. Study grammar basics and take some practice sections. For CR you don't really have a prayer starting this late. Just take some practice sections and see what you do wrong and fix it.</p>

<p>It's not too late to study.</p>

5

<p>Are you a sr?</p>

6

<p>^Yes.

7

<p>Only thing you can do for CR is to practice vocabs, the more you read those passages the better you get. Just read more in general.</p>

8

<p>See where you can make the fastest gains.</p>

<p>Maybe you ought to concentrate on one subject and try to up that as much as possible? It would be better to get one section up by 100 points than 3 sections 20 pts ea.</p>

9

<p>Are your current SAT scores competitive for the schools you are applying to? Ever take the ACT?</p>

<p>I agree with reviewing the math formulas. Write down all the math formulas that are hard to remember, but is crucial, on an index card and look at it 2 times daily.
Review the grammatical idioms and rules that are commonly tested. Restock and prepare some historical and literary examples for your essay.</p>

<p>Review possible test-taking techniques- like for the math with the grid-in section, DO all easy and medium questions FIRST, and then move on to grid-ins and do the easy and mediums. AND THEN go back to the hard ones.
-Remember to always read the math question, CAREFULLY. </p>

<p>Possible CR techniques
-come up with own words for sent. comp.
-cover up answer choices</p>

<p>-Read blurb
-Skim passage and go straight to questions- skip general, and go straight for the straight-forward ones that ask about "In lines 34-39, blah blah blah"</p>

<p>-Writing
-It is convenient for some to go straight for the essay correction passage. and then do the spot the errors/fix sentence.</p>
