<p>Any specific test prep. books, methods, time utilization, would be nice.</p>
<p>Wrong forum, Legolas52.</p>
<p>Go check out the SAT prep forum.</p>
<p>i only studied for writing and that was still my worse area...so i wouldnt be a good one to ask.</p>
<p>but yea, go to SAT forum.</p>
<p>I didn't get a 2240, but I am pretty sure I will be getting a 2300 next month. So, here is what I do.</p>
<p>Book(s): The Official SAT Study Guide (Paperback) by CollegeBoard, Cracking the SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests by Princeton Review (for Math), Kaplan New SAT Critical Reading Workbook (for Reading), HOT WORDS for the SAT [2nd edition] by Barron's (for Vocab/Reading)</p>
<p>I can't really help you with the Writing part. My school holds writing workshops, starting middle school all the way up to freshman year in high school. Never really had problems with that section.</p>
<p>Methods: </p>
<p>Schedule a day (or two) during the week when you will sit down and take a practice test out of each book. It will be hard to motivate yourself but you must do it. If you finish all the tests in each book, go out and buy another one but make sure you research the book(s) before you buy any.</p>
<p>Always have a TV on or some sort of distraction playing in the background nearby. However, do not make that distraction too loud. You will need to learn how to concentrate on the SATs (if that case is you are as ADHD'd as I am). Also, if you are easily distracted, consider earplugs. They helped so much for me!</p>
<p>Review the answers you get wrong on each section and try to see if there is some sort of similarity between them. If so, try to find questions in other sections that seem to have that similarity and pratice, practice, practice them until you've conquered the problem.</p>
<p>Listen in class! Your school is honestly your best SAT prep. And, rather than watching TV, read a book or the New Yorker. Oh yeah, always have a dictionary by your side to look up words.</p>
<p>In regards to how you use your time, make sure you finish with at least five minutes left to review your answers. </p>
<p>Also, sometimes skipping a problem you don't know an answer to can be rewarding. Saved me about 60 points.</p>
