<p>What's the best prep book for the new SAT?</p>
<p>I am.</p>
<p>I think I'm alright for Math, but I still need more practice with the Writing and Reading Comprehension sections.</p>
<p>They give a range, and not an exact score because since those questions were never administered in any of the experimental sections, it is hard to correctly determine the scale.</p>
<p>But generally, a 6 questions wrong will get you around 700 critical reading...
A 10+ essay and 2 ~ 3 questions wrong will get you an 800 in writing.
And.. math.. is unpredictable. -1 could go anywhere from 800 to 760</p>
<p>Couldn't you find the questions for the March 12 by getting the experimental sections from previous test administrations?
Problem is finding out which sections were experimental.</p>
<p>Don't they post which sections were experimental on the CB website?</p>
<p>im in baby =D wait... no reason for celebration... <em>sigh</em> my parents told me if i didnt do well i couldnt go vacation in china this summer... PRESSURE'S ON!!!</p>
<p>O_o what's your parents' definition of well?</p>
<p>I am! But I don't feel prepared at all! I really have no idea how to study.</p>
<p>A bit more than 1 month left. It's crunch time, guys. My schedule entails 10+ practice tests and over 2 hours of practice each day. (It's much more structured than that, but that's the short of it.)</p>
<p>LOL...two months before the January 22nd SATs I decided to spend a lot of time studying for it each day and memorize one of those 3000+ wordlists. But each day there were other things to do, homework to finish, and games to play...and just one week before the test I found I haven't done any studying at all. I barely managed to finish memorizing the A's of that wordlist, and I did a total of 3 practice tests from the 10 real sat book. On friday night the 21st I desperately tried to memorize more words out of regret, regret for all the lost time. I ended up sleeping at 2AM saturday morning and didn't remember any of the words I tried to memorize that night...</p>
<p>The funny thing is, I did the same thing when preparing for the SAT II chemistry and bio tests and my two PSATs. I have a funny feeling that this will happen to me again for the March test. Maybe I should just give up trying to study for any test and let things take their natural course...</p>
<p>I'm not studying.</p>
<p>To each his own. My SAT score is my trump card---hopefully it will distinguish me from other students of similar caliber.</p>
<p>aignam same with me. I am aiming for my SAT score to be 100-200 points above the average at the schools I am applying to. Same for the SAT IIs.</p>
<p>deus.ex.machina - their def of well is above a 2300 lol so yea.. i better get crackin'
thas wut ive been gettin on the 11 Real Sats so far... but i dont kno how well that measures</p>
<p>11 Real Sats? Old SAT or New SAT?</p>
<p>I'm taking it in March, I'm just going to do some practice tests over vacation. I have trouble with tthe subjectivity of the CR section and math, too</p>
<p>Vacation comes after the SAT, for me at least...</p>
<p>11 NEW sats is the one i got... yea i have spring break after the test too lol</p>
