<p>Pshhh, your grammar is funny… “…a Tom of energy drinks…” and “gunna.”
I’m really used to them and they are pretty good! Depends on which kind ya get though! </p>
<p>@Reckie,
I’m going over Writing right now, then Math later. I wish I had your determination…I get so sidetracked and blah blah blah. 1310/1400 is nice anyway! Good luck with it!</p>
<p>Nope, didn’t even try to drink. Maybe it’s because my parents don’t even understand the usage of it. They may even consider it as an one kind of alcoholic drinks. Asian kid problem.
But at this special occasion, I want to use that thing. Well, what sort of energy drink would you suggest to me, Marie? Redbull seems like a lot common of its kind.</p>
<p>Working on Practice Test#1 of BB. Will post my score.
Goal (at the end of the month)- CR:650, W:650, M:700
Looks like a dream rather than goal. LOL
Goals of W and M look plausible to me.
But on CR, nah…</p>
<p>Billy, have you ever had caffeine in general? If not, then I would just say stick with the basic coffee drink or whatever. For me, an energy supplement that will keep you awake but not feel like you can run a marathon at any give moment would be 5hr energy. If you don’t want coffee and never had caffeine on a regular basis, then the “safest” option would be the 5hr energy anyway.
Good luck on the practice test! 
Sounds like you’re wanting a 2000+ too ;)</p>
<p>Oh, and don’t forget that energy drinks can affect everyone differently!</p>
<p>I suggest that one energy drink… starts with an A I think? Oh yeah! Adderall! That one’s tight. :)</p>
<p>Pfft, I meant to do a winky face. ^</p>
<p>Wow, suggesting that we start popping pills, huh?</p>
<p>Of course!</p>
<p>But seriously, if you watched the video I posted about procrastination; it explains why being on the computer or playing xbox and getting instantaneous gratification is more enticing than studying really hard for a month and at the end receiving the same gratification. </p>
<p>I believe the example they used was would you rather get $100 today, or $110 in one month. Then saying; would you rather get $100 in one year, or $110 in one year and one month. Most people will take the $100 today, but the $110 if they were given the latter, simply because after a whole year, another month doesn’t seem like that much longer.</p>
<p>As of this moment I feel extremely motivated, and I hope I don’t fall back into the slump I’ve been in the past 17 years. I haven’t even turned on my xbox in over a month, and refuse to buy Halo4/BO2 until December 1st; after I take the SAT.</p>
<p>One thing that keeps me from getting work done is having technology around, so having no TV/internet is in some ways a blessing.(Even though I’m typing this from my friends house: watching his TV: and using his internet. </p>
<p>Another is how EASILY I get distracted. I’ve been working around this by doing 15-20 minutes of work without letting myself take a break, and when I do take breaks making them short and sweet. </p>
<p>The 3 week schedule I came up with is keeping me busy. I figure its about 2-3 hours of work per day if I do a good job with it. I don’t want to overload myself to the point where I only give each problem 70% of my energy. I’d rather give 110% and do it right: learn it right: and be able to execute it correctly when the time comes.</p>
<p>I realize that about 95% of my work is focused on math, and only 5% on writing.(mostly the last couple days practicing essays) I think my main problem with the writing section is that I literally can’t tell an adjective from a noun. I was never interested in learning parts of speech; but I’m able to tell if a sentence is right or not based off “hearing” it. However; the SAT questions intentionally create questions that go beyond the basics of being able to “hear” whether it’s right or wrong. </p>
<p>Thanks for reading my rant; if you took the time to do so. Some things I’ve learned…

<p>OH, and I forgot to ask. What are some of the examples you guys are using for the essay? I want to come up with a list of about 10 of them; that I have an overpowering wealth of knowledge on.</p>
<p>So far, I have…</p>
<p>Literature…
<p>World…
<p>I have read all the above books; but really don’t remember them enough. I plan on going back a few days before the exam and studying lots of facts/statistics/themes/etc about the above; so it’s fresh in my head for test day.</p>
<p>Your youtube procrastination video got me lost in youtube. Engulfed. </p>
<p>I only have around like 2-3 essay examples…nah, honestly, maybe 1… For me, personally, I am better at examples once I read the prompt because that’s right when my brain starts to brainstorm. I only used one example and got an 8 or 9. Don’t remember. (Pretty sure it was a fake, crappy example but had it worded like it was amazing.) I think it was something about me volunteering, lol. </p>
<p>I haven’t even opened my PWN the SAT book in a good month. I did do some good brushing up on Writing though! </p>
<p>Are you going to work on CR at all or just concentrate solely on W and M?</p>
<p>For those who are struggling on Writing section, get The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar.
I went from 400 to 650(constantly on practice tests). Author of the PWN the SAT highly recommends this book as you can see on his blog. Little pricey than other thousands of 10$-ish prep books, but trust me, it’s worth it.</p>
<p>Let beat December SAT</p>
<p>As we all know, BB doesn’t have a detailed explanations for its answers of practice tests. But I found explanations for most of Math problems of all those 11 practice tests in BB. Here:</p>
<p>[PWN</a> the SAT: Blue Book Math Solution Index](<a href=“http://blog.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/p/blue-book-math-solution-index.html#.UKDEGofTNsY]PWN”>http://blog.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/p/blue-book-math-solution-index.html#.UKDEGofTNsY)</p>
<p>Now, I need the explanations for Writing and CR questions of practice tests in BB, just like how The PWN The SAT guy did for Math ones. Can anyone find? Marie? The links you’ve provided in this thread were extremely helpful, btw.</p>
<p>Can you give me the link? I thought they only provide explanations for their QOTDs</p>
<p>@Billy,
Good job on the improvement with Writing! If you have the BB, just go to this website: [Welcome</a> to the Official SAT Study Guide Book Owner’s Area](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>SAT Study Guide – SAT Suite | College Board) You’ll then be prompted to choose which one you have. After that, you’ll have to confirm by filling in the blank on a question they give you. Once you complete that, you should see a page where you can enter your answers online and an area that says, “View Explanations and Sample Essays.” Click on “View” on which test you would like to see explained.</p>
<p>Guys, 18 more days!</p>
<p>Marie your count is giving me anxiety. </p>
<p>Tip of the day!(ha) On the writing section, No Error is the answer aproximately 15-20% of the time; or one in every 5-6 questions.</p>
<p>Guess you better start hustling up then, Reckie! </p>
<p>Well, I think now I’m just going to focus solely on CR and Writing.
As of now, my testing center still has “makeup info to be announced” on it. All my Nov. ticket says is Makeup too. :(</p>
<p>That’s exactly where I am too in terms of the make-up. I’m not too hung up on it anymore: I can actually feel myself improving in math. </p>
<p>What are you using to practice CR?</p>
<p>I meant writing. ;)</p>
