<p>Just a few questions about the upcoming SAT</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Is it "better" or recommended to provide 1 healthy example as opposed to 2 less inspiring examples? I've seen top-tier 6 essays provided by CollegeBoard, and they usually contain one example. (Blue book 6 essay has a life story taking up 2 paragraphs)</p></li>
<li><p>How often should I watch my clock?</p></li>
<li><p>Do you predict a generous raw to scaled score conversion (say, miss 2 wrong on reading, get 800, miss 1 wrong on math, get 800, miss none on grammar MC and get a 9 essay, get 800)</p></li>
<li><p>My weakest point would have to be if a passage pops up with excessive flair and complicated word usage, two things which muddy my understanding of the passage. Is there a suggested way to understand these complicated, ornate passages more easily? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks A BUNCH!</p>

<li><p>No idea</p></li>
<li><p>Don’t let the clock distract you, I’d say about every 5 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend getting a watch with you because it would be too distracting, there’s a clock on the wall anyway. Also, ask your proctor before the test to say “10 minutes left” and “5 minutes left” before the section ends, that really helped me.</p></li>
<li><p>Reading is usually 2 wrong 800; Math is usually 1 wrong 780-790; Writing is usually None wrong MC and 10 E 800.</p></li>
<li><p>I’m struggling with that problem too, it really ruins the passage for me, but I expect most people on here would tell you to read a lot of books/magazines/articles or to read the passage in chunks</p></li>

<li>I disagree… get a watch and check it! I did that chilaxing thing, and i ended up not finishing on time, it’s good to know where u are… That minor distraction is worth it, believe me…</li>
</ol>
<p>If you get a watch don’t check the time every 30 seconds, check every 5 mins or so</p>
<p>^ haahahahahaha… nice one… yeh wat he/she said :P</p>
