My Progress Thread for January SAT

<p>Good luck !!! going to sat for first time this january</p>

<p>I am using the following books</p>

<p>CR Barrons
Writing ultimate grammar guide and Barrons
Math mc graw hill sat </p>

<p>On top of this i have decided to learn 25 words everyday (hope i will stick to this )
and i am going to tutoring classes </p>

<p>Will this much preparation be enough , started 15 days ago</p>

<p>15 days will not be enough. You will realize this once you start your preparation so I suggest you start soon. And where are you doing the vocab from?</p>

<p>I satarted 15 days ago i.e. 5 december , and will be preparing till 25 th jan ,the exam day ,
so will this be enough ?? My goal is 2100+</p>

<p>I am doing my vocab from 1000 sat words (it is a pdf document ,I think it is published by spark notes but not sure , my tutor gave it to me )</p>

<p>Oh. I thought you meant of you start 15 days before the exam.
1000. That’s aaaa lot. I was considering sparknotes too, but the 250 words which they’ve given on their site.</p>

<p>Why don’t you guys read the Important Threads in this forum? You seem to be missing out on a lot of good advice.</p>

<p>^ agreed
For vocab direct hit 1&2 is preferable and then try to learn some other vocabs.</p>

<p>Really busy with common app and supp essay.
I barely have any time to study for the sat.
Hope I can get some work done tomorrow, submit my apps and get back to sat.</p>

<p>Okay after reading your comments i searched for electronic copies of DH and I found these:

  1. <a href=“This domain name has been seized by ICE - Homeland Security Investigations”>This domain name has been seized by ICE - Homeland Security Investigations;

<p>2.<a href=“pdfbook.co.ke”>pdfbook.co.ke;

<p>Are any of these sites reliable enough to download the PDF file? I do use torrent s to download movies but never anything like this.</p>

<p>Thanks Peach :slight_smile: just broke 700 on CR Barrons :slight_smile:
Now Writing is frustrating me ! >:(
I get 4 to 5 questions wrong everytime.
I dont want to do more than 1-2 mistakes! Only then I can achieve 800 in writing :confused:
Any tips guys? Same goes with Math too -_- Im getting 2-3 wrong everytime! I know I can get all of them correct as I am good at Math :confused:
Somehow want 800s in Writing and Math. If not 800s I cant afford to lose more than 50 points combined Writing and Math :confused: Peach and others, can you help me out? Still have about 35 days of time!</p>

<p>Great job JAN!
I seem to miss the same on math as you. Writing hovers anywhere from 2-5 for me as well.
I think for writing I’m just going to try to memorize grammar rules gradually.
For math, I think it’s just another matter of practice.
I will be updating my progress more as I am now on winter break with a bunch of free time!</p>

<p>BTW guys, I am not sure if you are allowed to post torrents on this site, so you might want to delete your posts, shantanu97 and Fizza777</p>

<p>Peach :smiley:
I feel I know the rules.
Can you suggest me anything?
Like should I do tougher material for Writing and Math to achieve those last 30-50 points in Math and Writing? I am done with 12 Kaplan which was easier than the actual SAT.
Well it helped me to get to 1900s from 1400s :slight_smile: then PR 5 tests, Barrons 6 tests and 12 mcGrawHill tests helped me reach 2100 :slight_smile: well it is already quite an increase I feel :slight_smile:
Now till January Its Collegeboard, Blue Book time! and some random practice.
So peach, are you going to practice tougher material for 800s in writing and Math or stick to CB? I feel we both are in a similar state. atleast for W and M :slight_smile: CR I will get something around 700 hopefully.</p>

<p>^ Jan,
I think blue book and QAS are the best resources.</p>

<p>i second benjamin’s comment!
i think just real practice tests are the best way to go.
now i just gotta get around to reviewing/doing them! :P</p>

<p>Less than 3 weeks to go!
My plan for the remaining time, is to do 1 section of a practice test per school day and review it thoroughly. Also, I am going to study at least 20 vocab. words per night.
On the upcoming Saturdays, I am going to try to take a full practice test in the morning.
And on Sundays do some miscellaneous review?
Let’s go guys!
-Peach</p>

<p>You’re doing great so far, Peach! <3</p>

<p>Just curious, where are you getting the QAS that you’re using from? I’d like some, but can’t figure out where to find any. :/</p>

<p>I just searched on Google! Be wary of viruses though.</p>

<p>Aaahhhh 3 weeks to go and only completed and reviewed 4 practice tests so far :/</p>

<p>Need to step it up in the coming days. Hope to get at least 20-30 practice tests under my belt</p>

<p>Woah, don’t try to do that in the next 3 weeks, that’s a bit overkill.
I would say a more reasonable number would be around 5-7 O_O
And that’s still a good amount!</p>

<p>@peachmarmalde I am having holidays actually so it’s all good haha … Planning to wake up early and do one then do another in the evening :)</p>
