one week until my friend takes the SAT- help

Test Preparation
1

<p>I basically need osme suggestions on how to prep her. She's really starting to get the Verbal and math sections. She's still really iffy on parts of th emath but hopefully we'll improve that. here's the deal:</p>

<p>1) we are prepping tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday.<br>
-Tuesday I will give her strategies on the comparison passages( we've already worked on strategies on the one passage questions) and review some sections she is doing this weekend and show her how to answer the questions/ WWe hhave 3 minutes in the morning and 35-45 minutes at lunch
-Wednesday we will meet in the morning. not sure what to do then. Wednesday night, I am administering a practice SAT test. Try to simulate a real test as much as possible ( be an annoying proctor, make her take it in pencil, buble in questions, make it a 3 hour test by taking a section from another practice test, etc,). Then grade that and review the questions she got wrong. hopefully I'll get 4 hours out of her (kinda in hte air b/c her basketball coach can be crazy)
- Thursday we will really hit on the parts of the practice SAT she did badly on. We will review some vocab (which we have done all week). I made a condense form of the Hit parade( picked only words which looked good and might be onthe test- I took practice tests 10 times). I will also give her some last day tips to do her best onthe SAT.<br>
- Friday will be a rest day. A small review and remind her aobut hte SAT and tell her what she should do on the last day and before the test so that she can be the best test taker that she can be. lol</p>

<p>any tips? suggestions? I'm, kinda worried because when I walk through it with her, she can do the verbal really good and the math semi good. But when she takes a section... she bombs it. any tsuggestions?
by the way, she is extrmelely lazy( her words) and kinda a procrastinator who hasn't taken school that seriously. If that helps any</p>

<p>BTW, does anyone know where I can get the transcript of what the proctors say and a bubble sheet with bubbles the ACTUAL SIZE of the bubbles on the SAT?</p>

<p>You seem like a great friend to be helping her that much. She probably does so badly on the practice tests because she is nervious or unfamiliar with the test. Your plan sounds good to me.</p>

<p>i think it's because she is a bad test taker. and she is bored and knows this is a stupid test. how can u be nerovus during a practice test? she is probly unfamiliar with the test (Quantatative comparisons are evil!)_</p>

<p>Do not do the practices at home, too distracting, we used to go to the local bookstore, coffee shop, library, just out of the regular environment. Is she taking the test more then once? Perhaps letting her flail around the first time and reality hits, maybe that will get her moving and maybe caring, lazy comes from not caring. We used different books as well. Leave the area while she is doing the test. Try other strategies, but if she really is lazy, then back off, let her bomb it once, and maybe she will wake up!!!!!</p>

<p>she is a senior so this is her last chance to do it. home won't be distracting, at least when I am there.</p>
