One Week of Preparation - SATs- Enough?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>After much SAT testing apathy rooting from the beginning of my Junior year, I have decided to take a shot at the SATs once more. I have taken the ACTs a couple times and I have gotten 31+ and i am expecting a 32+ from this last seating.</p>

<p>Anyway,</p>

<p>What would be the best things to go over this week before the test? </p>

<p>What is the best format to write an SAT essay? Any tips? My teachers in school say that I am one of the top essay writers in my class, but i only got a 8 on my essay last time. This is weird because I received an 11 on the ACT writing portion.</p>

<p>Any help would be awesome!</p>

<p>I got a 1900 last time and I am hoping for a 2100+. Is this goal reasonable?</p>

<p>haha 200 points in 1 week? Yeah sounds feasible.</p>

<p>Honestly, maybe you can could it. </p>

<p>Memorize vocab, get your essay to 12, is all I can really think of to do in a week.</p>

<p>I never studied for my SATs and ended up with a 2190 (2100 first time, 2160 second time, superscore 2190). It really depends on who you are and how well you test. Also, you're a junior! You have plenty of time. I didn't take my SATs until May of my junior year (on two hours of sleep in Tel Aviv where I obviously was not so clearheaded).</p>

<p>Mind you I have been studying for the ACTS all of last year, so I have learned a lot since my last test in November of last year. </p>

<p>I can't seem to ace the math section, anyone got any suggestions? Books, tips, formulas, place to try practice problems, etc? I have gotten a 36 on act math, 800 on math 2c, and 5 on AP Calc test (A/A in course), but I can't seem to do well on the math section.</p>

<p>Can anyone go into detail how to nail a 12 on the essay?</p>

5

<p>bump?</p>

<p>What would be included in a 12 essay? How should the structure go? Formal or informal?</p>

<p>Are there any formulas or tips, that i should definitely know for the math section?</p>

<p>Id suggest going and then speedreading through "Barrons 2400"</p>

<p>its seriously the best book out there and short enough for this time period</p>

<p>It can be done. Read Grammatix.</p>

<p>it really depends on who you are. Some people i know went in, no preparation, and got over 2300. Others i know are smart kids, but just cant take the SAT, even after studying. Depends on you man.</p>
