<p>Who's taking it and what are your plans for the upcoming month?</p>
<p>I'm taking it in January. I just plan on practicing out of the Blue Book and maybe look review strategies from PR. I have about two weeks over winter break to do this and then I plan on doing light review throughout Jan.</p>
<p>me!!!!!!!!
IM SOoooooooooooooooooooo freaked out man :P </p>
<p>sike i dont care that much for SATs cause im failing my classes right now</p>
<p>Just planning to finish off the tests in the blue book and review some vocab; It's my last exam and I've sent all my scores so it don't really matter :)</p>
<p>I signed up to take the SAT in January. Considering how badly I did on my December SAT, studying is definitely in order. I probably will do as many practice tests as I can out of the Blue Book and look over a few prep books. I'm not sure how else to prepare.</p>
<p>Practice tests and major critical reading prep and perfecting math for my final test ever! My last shot better turn out well!</p>
<p>My plan is to memorize tons of vocab and practice reading comprehension to get my CR score up from 670 to 700.</p>
<p>For writing I'll just practice practice practice to get my score up from 720 to 750.</p>
<p>tons of practice, wanna raise all of my sections to at least over 730, gotta see what happens...</p>
<p>I'm doing it for the first time in January. I need to start prepping now considering most people in the Bahamas suck at it. But I'm different, Hopefully. :P</p>
<p>haha if you guys need advices, just ask me man.</p>
<p>i got my CR score from 610 to 750!
my writing score from 630 to 750</p>
<p>namkim, i got a 610 CR in december and I would love a 750 in january!! Tell me more!!!</p>
<p>are you a jr or a senior?</p>
<p>junior</p>
<p>my scores in december were...
CR: 610
M: 710
W:700 (10 essay)</p>
<p>if ur a junior, dont take the jan test? thats my opinion.</p>
<p>but for CR, you need massive vocab.</p>
<p>i just memorized like crap loads of vocab from sparknotes.com and barron's hot words for sat.</p>
<p>then i did massive practice problems (blue book, 11tests from princeton, kaplan) for the reading passages. after a while, i started understanding the passages/questions!!!!!! you need to FOCUS when you do it though.</p>
<p>for math, i just read the questions 3 times, answered it, and checked my answer. it took me like 18 mins to fniish the section this way (i usually finish under 10 mins). after that, i went back and solved the problems again.</p>
<p>for writing, its just massive practice from the blue book, 11 sat tests from pr, and kaplan. then i memorized many idioms. </p>
<p>for the essay, i already had about 10 examples that i could use in any essay even before taking the test. i did some research the night before and printed out some examples that i could use. i memorized them.</p>
<p>and the most important thing is that you dont lose focus during the test. dont get too nervous either. those things will kill ya.</p>
<p>i hope my advices helped</p>
<p>When practicing the essay portion for the Writing Section, how did you grade that?</p>
<p>Did you ask CCers to grade the essay, have adults look at it, use online sources?</p>
<p>Is there really a way to accurately grade practice essays?</p>
<p>I seem to be doin ok in math and cr. But writing is my achilles heel. Like idk it seems like i have no clue what im doing. So, i got the peterson's writing workbook and am looking through it. I feel like i never learned this stuff and im freaking out. What should i do???????</p>
<p>gah, yea Im taking jan sats. Nervous as heck...., my best section is writing but I keep getting this feeling that Im just going to forget all my grammar and bomb that section...., anyone else feeling this way?</p>
<p>the best you can do is study the often-recurring problems in writing and train your eyes to spot them. </p>
<p>i never actualyl wrote any essays</p>
<p>word. i'm taking it. </p>
<p>i'm not really worried because i'm a junior and, so...you know.</p>
<p>practice tests out the face, yo. this xmas break is gunna be ffuuuuuunnnnnnnn.</p>
<p>does the essay count for your writing section score or is it just a seperate score???</p>
