<p>My first post and it's about my study plan; is that a little bit pretentious, lol?</p>
<p>Anyways, I decided to join in and actually create a study plan for myself. I previously told myself that I didn't need one and I could follow through on my own and said I'd start on July 1, but of course, that never happened, except for occasional glances at the books.</p>
<p>So, here it is:</p>
<p>Weekdays:</p>
<p>Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays
SAT 3 hours and 30 minutes
CollegeBoards Blue Book = 1 hour
o Critical Reading = 30 minutes
o Mathematics = 30 minutes
Critical Reading = 30 minutes (English Language and Composition)
Mathematics = 1 hour (Dr. Chungs)
Vocabulary = 1 hour (Direct Hits)</p>
<p>Tuesdays, Thursdays
ACT 2 hours and 30 minutes
ACTs Red Book = 2 hours
o English = 30 minutes
o Math = 30 minutes
o Reading = 30 minutes
o Science = 30 minutes
Barrons Flashcards = 30 minutes</p>
<p>Weekends:</p>
<p>SAT 5 hours (Saturdays)
CollegeBoards Blue Book = 2 hours and 30 minutes
o Critical Reading = 1 hour
o Mathematics = 1 hour
o Writing = 30 minutes
Critical Reading = 30 minutes (English Language and Composition)
Mathematics = 1 hour (Dr. Chungs)
Vocabulary = 1 hour (Direct Hits)</p>
<p>ACT 3 hours (1 hour each section) (Sundays)
ACTs Red Book = 2 hours
o English = 30 minutes
o Math = 30 minutes
o Reading = 30 minutes
o Science = 30 minutes
Barrons Flashcards = 1 hour</p>
<p>I realize that I'm barely devoting any time to Writing, but that's because I find some sort of ease with writing (in a non-arrogant way) and enjoy it, even if it is for a test.
I didn't want to overload myself so I tried cutting down the time. Besides this, I'm also prepping for my future classes in my junior year. Funfunfun.</p>
<p>I decided I wanted to make my sophomore year worth while and aside from having fun, I thought studying should pay in the mix. I'm aiming for a 30+ on the ACT and a 2000+ on the SAT. Of course, this is my first SAT and ACT and I plan on take them the earliest (October, I believe?) test date given, and then again in January and so on.</p>
<p>I lurked around on the forums and found out that the Blue book, Red book, Dr. Chung's math, and the Direct Hits vocab book are the most effective.
Im using my sister's books from the past 2 years, and there's a lot, but after hearing your guys' thoughts, I realized that it would be impractical to sit down and read every single one of them.
And I don't think that would be possible. Maybe, who knows.</p>
<p>Anyways, this plan is for the course of 2 months and will be repeated in a more mild sense when school stars, especially over the breaks.</p>
<p>I was hoping to hear some feedback for those who have already taken the test or are going to and hear their study plans?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
