<p>Ok so people who are really high achievers on the SAt give me ur Sat game plan like tell me exactly what you do everyday or how many hours you spend on studding and etc.........</p>
<p>how u break it up and what is the most effective way to study for each section</p>
<p>Also tell me the golden books for each section besides the blue book, like study materials and etc..........</p>
<p>Do lots and lots of practice exams. Do one subsection at a time. For reading, that involves first the sentence completion, check answers and review questions, then short passage, check and review, then long passage, check and review. Do a full section only if you want to know how you do on time, and one full-length test if you want to see if you can handle taking the test for 4 hours.</p>
<p>Find out where your problem areas are by reviewing wrong questions and answers. I found myself getting a lot of questions science/social science passages wrong, even though I know a lot more about those subjects than art and literature. My problem was using prior knowledge for sciences rather than referring to the passage and rereading the relevant section or paragraph. Finding out major errors and problems in strategy will really raise your score: I jumped from ~650 to 750 on practice tests, and 800 on the real one.</p>
<p>If you have plenty of time, read a lot for the verbal section. Don't memorize vocabulary if it makes your head hurt doing so. Do try to remember words you got wrong.</p>
<p>Learn your grammar rules. Remember the SAT does not test perfect English: plenty of stuff your english teacher say is bad writing, such as passive voice, do not constitute as errors on the finding errors section.</p>
<p>Don't make stupid mistakes in math. Double-Check answers.</p>
<p>Finally, don't put yourself in the "I must get 2300+ mentality." This will only increase stress levels. Relax during the test and understand the SAT is not the main factor in college admissions.</p>
<p>None, yes passive voice is considered incorrect on the SAT. The people of the SAT want everything in active voice, if I remember correctly. I got an 800 Writing. And I also am in the 2300+ club.</p>
<p>how do u not get so frustrated in the CR section? I am naturally better at the math section. It takes me too long to go over my answer and understand some of the reading questions. Should I take so long or move along? Will it get easier? I have little stamina on the CR, and after reading about 5 passages, get brain dead. How do u guys spend an entire 5 hr saturday afternoon studying sats? What keeps you guys motivated and gives you stamina?
Is Writing multiple choice is the easiest of the sections, and is almost rote right? Will some studying help dramatically with the writing multiple choice--- say, learning some grammar rules raise my score by 200 points?</p>
<p>edit: I have 4 months until the SAT I. Anyone 2300+ inspire me with a game plan?? :) I will stay focused.</p>
<p>Do the practice tests realyl fast. If you can't finish the practice tests with about 10 minutes extra time in each section, you will likely run out of time during the real thing due to stress and second-guessing.</p>
<p>I agree. The biggest thing is to do a lot of practice tests. I really don't feel that people in the 2000-2400 range are smarter than the other, it's just that practice tests make the difference in this range. </p>
<p>I agree with 123orange. Do your practice tests fast---like there's no tomorrow. On test day, it'll give you confidence, but the extra time if you need it.</p>
<p>To be realistic you are not going to get a 2300+ if you aren't naturally gifted. Its tough, but its the truth. There are always those kids that do not need much prep to do well, and well, if you aren't one of those, getting a score like that is very hard.</p>
<p>I took PR's test prep, and I did a lot of practice tests. Every day the week before, I did a bunch of practice tests. It was actually fun for me because I. like. filling. in. bubbles. :(</p>
