Princeton Review 2008 question...

<p>Well, i was skimming through this book last night ( just got it ) and noticed the "Joe Blogg" stratergy... i just wanted to know what CC's opinion was of this stratergy and if,,, overalll the PR book is good?</p>

<p>the joe blogg strategy can get you into the 600's, but for anything over 700 you need to find your own strategies...:D</p>

<p>ok thanks.. .i guess ill use it for CR since im at 570 (lol)
so how's the other parts of the book?
what other "stratergies" do you use?</p>

<p>um, there's some that work for me...</p>

<p>they won't work for everyone however...</p>

<p>like in the math section going through all the problems really quickly (in maybe 15 out of the 25 minutes) and then using the last ten just to check to see if your answers even make sense...</p>

<p>for CR, the answers for the questions will be a few lines above the lines that they tell you to look at, from what I have noticed...</p>

<p>I haven't used the book, but I did read about the Joe Bloggs method and then heard that it only helps to get into the 600's... I never used it because I was shooting for 800 :D</p>

<p>I have the 2007 version, and I like the Joe bloggs approach. It can get you out of a jam, even if you're a high scorer. There are always going to be problems you can't figure out, and the POE strategies are really helpful. </p>

<p>If you're targeting a high score, it's practice that matters more than strategy. Once you master basic strategies and know what the pitfalls are (PR is very good for that), then it's a matter of experience with the test. So plan on doing a lot of practice tests.</p>

<p>Hey I used that strategy too, They sound pretty good-aren't they? but the thing is I never ever ever NEVER NEVER got above 700 on my CR.</p>

<p>PR strategies seem to be geared towards students who start at around a 1500 and are aiming for around an 1800...</p>

<p>i would recommend Barron's 2400 for people aiming for high scores</p>
