Let us all set a goal to work towards.

<p>okay...
Starting today I will start memorizing SAT level words and by the end of October my goal is to have memorized 3000 words at least.</p>

<p>Each day, I will post how many words I memorized. Feel free to do so as well. Also, if you want to give some advice on how to do better on the passage-based questions.</p>

<p>Merci.</p>

<p>Let's do this guys.</p>

<p>Im curious about the amount you’re memorizing daily and the world list(s) you will be using</p>

3

<p>Why are you memorizing so many words?</p>

<p>There are only eight sentence completions per Critical Reading section. So that’s only… 24 sentence completion sentences or less. Unless you are ridiculously under read, I would say at least half of the words will already be familiar to you. For all the time it would take for you to memorize 3000 words, why don’t you study something else?</p>

<p>P.S. - You’ll learn words a lot faster by reading high level material.</p>

4

<p>may I suggest Atlas Shrugged</p>

5

<p>Yeah… I will have to do it again for a third time <em>sigh</em>
Just because of reading >.></p>

<p>I’m waiting for the score report so I know where I screwed up on. I may have bubbled wrong, but whatever. Vocabulary is definitely a problem though.</p>

<p>Good goal. You gave me an idea. Dunno about 3,000, but I think I will memorize a bunch. Then, I will just start reading a few magazine articles each night that relate to science and history, etc. Hopefully that will do.</p>

<p>My other sections I am so happy with, especially writing. So, thank god for super score (though, I am a hypocrite and disagree with super scoring).</p>

6

<p>zap I know how you feel man</p>

<p>Math - 790
Writing - 740</p>

<p>(drum roll please)</p>

<p>Reading - 590!!! FAIL!!!</p>

7

<p>Or you could read grammatix… idk. maybe.</p>

8

<p>I just memorized 100 words from Barron’s</p>

9

<p>I scored 630 CR, 560 M (ugh), and 650 W (10 essay). Composite: 1840.
My goal: to keep CR and W up but raise my M to 630+.</p>

<p>How I’m doing it:
Barron’s flash cards.
just pre-ordered Gruber’s Complete SAT 2010 and the Official SAT Guide.
i also have used a barron’s and princeton review book.</p>

<p>i’m also studying for math II so i’m hoping that i can use that to my advantage.</p>

<p>I need to find words… what books have them in best?</p>
