<p>Now, only 10 weeks and 3 days left till' us, first NEW SAT takers!
So how prepared are you guys for this and what's your plan?</p>
<p>My plan:
Math- pretty confident
CR - 10 Reals reading passages
Writing- Kaplan's SAT II Writing
Goal: 2300+ (800M, 800W, 700+CR)</p>
<p>My Plan:</p>
<p>i don't have one
haha
i'm going to see what i get the first time
and then see what areas i need to improve and then work on it
although i am pretty confident on the writing and CR... not so much on the math</p>
<p>i guess i'm just not as motivated as everyone else
good luck!</p>
<p>writing/verbal- super confident but I'm still gonna do ALOT of review
math- <em>sigh</em> my weakpoint...I'm going to do alot of practice tests and review</p>
<p>wish they would add a science section lol...</p>
<p>practice (especially CR and writing)</p>
<p>and brushup on geo and trig for math</p>
<p>My plan is to review during the summer instead and not waste my money taking the new SAT when it first comes out because I'm weak on Verbal and Writing.</p>
<p>Since it will cost around $49 per test now, I think I'll prepare and then take it.</p>
<p>My Plan:
Math - not worried about, probably won't study
CR - Go over PSAT test booklet, do the reading passages from the Official Guide.
Writing - Kaplan SAT II Writing, Grammar Smart, Official Guide practice tests.</p>
<p>Aiming for Math 800, CR 750+, Writing 800
I ran out of time on the Writing section of the PSAT b/c I couldnt see the clock and ended up getting the last 7 wrong when i could have easily gotten an 800. I am gonna kick the SAT's ass just to redeem myself</p>
<p>10 WEEKS? AAAH!! I didn't realise it was that close...<em>whimper</em>
My plan:
I bought 11 Real SAT's and College Board's Official guide to the New SAT.
Will devote every waking hour (well..almost) doing practice tests. Hopefully practice really will make perfect :D
Aiming for: 800 Math, 700+ CR, 700+ Writing</p>
<p>I have to do well in march, i have an ap bio review session during the may exam and the teacher said I am not allowed to miss the review session... that royally sucks and is kind of unfair. Stupid bio teacher.</p>
<p>I'm taking the old SAT in jan, but I'm going to have to take the new SAT too. March testing isn't available for international students. </p>
<p>I'm going to have to buy that college board's official guide to the New SAT. I'm scared about the writing portion. but I have the Jan SAT to worry about first. so. damn you analogies!</p>
<p>i second that, i hate analogies. thank god they're off on the new sats</p>
<p>chochocho.</p>
<p>it's amazing. my study plan is exactly what you posted. </p>
<p>question...what are u doing for the essay?</p>
<p>OH YEA. A BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG TIP I HAVE FOR YOU GUYS. ONLY USE 10REALS (or any other collegeboard product) for CRITICAL READING. EACH TEST PREP COMPANY HAS THEIR OWN IDIOSYNCRASIES IN CR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; YOU WANT THE CLOSEST THING TO THE REAL DEAL. SHORT READING PASSAGES: USE THE COLLEGEBOARD OFFICIAL GUIDE IF YOU CAN.</p>
<p>For the essays, I'm just going to prepare several examples that I can use beforehand, then just practice writing within 25 minutes. By the way, I'm going to read about the essay part of Kaplan's SAT II Writing too.</p>
<p>any junior finished with the old SAT and Writing SAT II?</p>
<p>My Plan</p>
<ul>
<li>study like a mofo until March
Goal: 2400
Probability of attaining goal: 1.54723657923465%</li>
</ul>
<p>Analogies are gone? What? Man Analogies and sentence completions were easy as heck...I didn't miss any, and I didn't study either. Now critical reading I missed 4....which brought me down to a 760 (i took it in June, which had a horrid curve...800,800,780,760).
Man I wish everything depended on just grammar and vocab, cause then I'd get into anywhere I want....lol it's funny how I'm asian and at my school everyone knows asians are the best at english, and white people don't seem to know anything about english, but here all these asian people seem to be rather poor and english...good at math of course, how can you not be...</p>
<p>the writing sat 2 will b stopped after the new sat comes out right? and its not usually required to take the writing sat 2 is it..... cuz im still a junior and im planning to take the jan sat so i wouldnt have to take the new one, as im sure that the math on the new one would kill me...but if i take the sat in jan then i wont be able to take the writing sat ever....is that too big of a problem?</p>
<p>analogies are getting the boot in the new SAT right? I wish I was good at analogies. lmfao</p>
<p>Take the new one!! I mean, all they are changing is basically adding SATII Writing as a portion of the test, which you will probably need anyways. Also, for the verbal section they are simply taking out analogies and putting in short passages. I think short passages are much easier, although analogies aren't too bad either.</p>
<p>i'm not necessarily worried about it...two and a half months gives me plenty of time to worry about it. my math will for sure be a 700+. Writing on the PSAT surprised me, it was a 710. CR...I'll have to go over some of the passages, i think it was in the 600s on the PSAT..i want that in the 700s...i'm aiming for a 2100+ when I take it.</p>
<p>I'm planning to just take 2-3 tests out of the College Board's book. If the new SAT is anything like/exactly like the PSAT which we took this September, I'll be in good shape.</p>
