- past 3 tests, i’ve been getting 39 and 38* (got a 37 on this one) gay, several stupid mistakes.</p>
<p>I WILL take a FULL test tmr. 3 hrs, 45 min. super gay. But i gotta do what i gotta do. I’ll continue posting and updating. Thanks for the encouragement for those that see something beneficial in this thread.</p>
<p>Goals:
- get back my math score.
- get less than 9 wrong in CR
- writing is just meh.</p>
<p>oh yeah, I know these scores aren’t awesome. But I’m doing what I can, and I’m trying… just to put it out there.</p>
<p>oh yeah, one more thing. I forgot who recommended marking the referred lines and underlining the words they ask for in the CR, but it seems to help. I don’t do it for the whole thing before reading, but I just mark maybe half the passage or a column. And i go from there.</p>
<p>One question, what is Xiggi’s method? It seems like everyone else knows it except for me.
Same here, critical reading is my weakest part!!! Don’t know what to do.</p>
<p>Jumpngo seems to have his own little SAT blog =D</p>
<p>I have begun my arduous journey of SAT prep just as you have and if I might share a tip I think helps me to score decent on the Writing/Reading part (if not on math =/ )</p>
<p>Use words that you learn through prepping for SAT or just reading in general in your daily life or even while posting on here.</p>
<p>While people might look at you funny for saying you have had an epiphany about a book you were reading in English class it will give you your own mental note as to what the word means should it appear on your SAT.</p>

My CR was my weakest. It might still be, but its pretty damn close to my second weakest which is writing I think. However, my Math score may be lower but that might be the cause of the super harsh ass curve they have. Anyways, just start reading everything and treat it as a SAT passage, trying to find the implied, suggestions, tone, etc. And do the practice tests, b/c you’ll eventually get the hang of the questions and they donto’ seem as hard. And Xiggi’s method is the first thread on the SAT page “Xigg’s Prep Advice”.</p>
<p>To: Tilgaham
Thanks for the advice, I’ll try to implement using vocab in my writing/talking more more than I was before.</p>
<p>and yes , I do seem to have a SAT blog dont’ I. It’s good support, easy access, and I can help others that are in the same boat I am.</p>
<p>Update: I did my full SAT this morning (excluding the essay, which means its not full but w/e)</p>
<p>Thoughts: I definately brought my math score up from the last test, but my CR score def. went down b/c time was an issue with this test. I had 1-2 that I couldn’t get to b/c of time. Writing should be pretty good, higher than any of my other ones but you never know.</p>
<p><em>With this test I took very very vyeryyvyeyryyeyryer few breaks. Like 1 min, 2 min, b/c I needed to write the #s down / pee</em>
AND i had no breakfast which got to me at the end, but I still ate/stomped on the last writing section with 5 minutes left over. </p>
<p>My conclusion: Taking with no breaks and not eating breakfast for my practice tests will give me a lil somethin somethin on test day b/c i had such an “ascetic” / “austere” / “abstemious” training regime.</p>
<p>Subject Scores or Score Ranges/ # Right #/ Wrong #/ Omitted
Critical Reading 610 - 670 /53 /10/ 4
Writing 410 - 520
(MC: 51-61, Essay: N/A) 31 /18 /0
Math 620 - 680/ 45/ 9/ 0 </p>
<p>Still pretty gay… Will go over mistakes</p>
<p>jumpngo, do you have the online course? Is that where you get the explanations to go over your answers?</p>
<p>yes thats correct. I’d recommend getting the online course.. it auto grades which is very convenient, and provides explanations which is gold.</p>
<p>when you look at the scale are you just taking the lower one and breaking 2000 for that or what?</p>
<p>well i’m aiming to get there. but its hard as balls. super balls.</p>
<p>Pure Logic: p. 584 #10
Careless: p. 585 #14; p. 613 #8; p. 615 #16
Unfamiliar: p. 586 #17; #19; p. 598 #13; p. 614 #14
Exterior angles: p.615 #15</p>
<p>no i meant…</p>
<p>are you hoping for your practice test to be 2000 - _____ or ____ - 2000</p>
<p>realistically</p>
<p>I’m hoping my next full practice test will be in the high 1900s. And my separated tests to break 2000. And I don’t know what realistically means until I fail my high expectations. if you know what i’m saying…</p>
<p>bumping this thread. How r the practice tests going?</p>
<p>yeah, he kinda just stopped updating.</p>
<p>yeah its been like 2 weeks. But its okay, with AP exams and school year ending, everyone is bz.</p>
<p>Just remember, Grubers for math, got me from a 630 to a 740 on the real thing…</p>
