<p>Can anyone please provide feedback?</p>
<p>This is my June SAT score</p>
<p>CR 640
Math 660
Wr 690
Multiple choice 67
Essay 10</p>
<p>I am very nervous and would like some advice on how to prepare. Have been using Kaplan and PR books. Is there a better way to practice?</p>
<p>from my personal experience i found that the barrons word list is extremely helpful for the CR section. it is intimidating at first (almost 3000) words, but for me it did wonders and dont forget that you may already know a good chunk of the words. i just memorized it. it helped me on my AP tests as well.</p>
<p>barrons workbooks are really helpful too, espically if you work on them a good 2 months before the test and then just practice.</p>
<p>good luck :)</p>
<p>Be sure to sign up for the SAT question of the day on the CollegeBoard website. In addition to more concentrated study, making one quick question a part of every day that you check your e-mail is a painless way to raise your comfort level with the test.</p>
<p>how did you go about memorizing 3000 words? i memorized about 500 of barrons flash cards that came in the back... but i had to constantly go back and refresh for a couple months before i got them all down... but then again i wasnt too consistent</p>
<p>Is Grammatix good? Will that help with CR?</p>
<p>For math what is the best way to practice?</p>
<p>Taking sat for the first time and scoring 1840 is awful right???
Though I expected 2000+ but was surprised to see the result..</p>
<p>princeton review all the way yo. i improved 280 points the second time (to a 2370)</p>
<p>then again... all the review books are the same, so it prob doesnt make a diff who you get it from</p>
<p>one of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS that you need to learn is to read everything carefully. thats probably what got me the improvement.</p>
<p>oh and read a lot of articles. like news and stuff. itll help cuz they're usually really grammatically accurate so then you'll be able to pick out some gram errors by instinct</p>
<p>do practice grammar tests and make sure you learn why you got stuff wrong (i.e. learn the grammar rules and common tricks on the test)</p>
<p>i think word lists are a complete waste of time
i think i might have learned one word in my time of trying to memorize **** (and forgot the rest) which may have helped me get one more vocabulary question correct</p>
<p>math, master your calculator (i say use a calculator whenever you are less than 100% certain of how to do the question in 30 seconds or less by hand, which is what i did)</p>
<p>and any idea about some good websites offering sat prep...</p>
