<p>i have sat in december...from last night i started studying really serious. i locked off everything. my social life, my pc sometimes and most of my school work to dedicate my time into the dec4th SAT. i just need advice to study effectively for the next 2 weeks?
i know i screwed up the nov 6 th one and this exam is basically my last chance to get at least a 18-2200.
collegeboard book sucks
barron's book is ok
advice needed ty!</p>
<p>
A few weeks of preparation cannot replace years of the High School work.</p>

I am sorry to hear that my post is unnecessary.</p>
<p>If you have the CollegeBoard book, that means you have a lot of preparatory material.</p>
<p>There’s basically two things you can work on: test-taking strategy or content. Only you know what you need more help on. One piece of advice I can suggest is to take 5 questions each from the beginning, middle, and end of a section (easier/medium/harder questions) and see how well you can answer them without any sort of time limit. In the case of a question that you would leave blank, make a mark saying that you would leave it blank, but then try to answer it so that you can see if you can get it correct. </p>
<p>If you’re answering most/all of the questions correctly, repeat the exercise, but use a strict time limit. By this point, you should know how many seconds per question you have. You’ll likely leave some questions blank.</p>
<p>If you have correct answers, but a lot of blank questions due to running out of time, you need to work on your speed</p>
<p>If you got to all the questions, but left a lot blank or got a lot wrong, then you have a content knowledge issue.</p>
<p>How much content can you learn in two weeks? Not much. But a little is better than nothing. </p>
<p>Don’t do any prep within three days of the test - it’s not going to help and might hurt.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p>its just that im always getting about 1/2 - 3/4 of each section correct. and then there is no explanation to the solutions so i just leave it out . the critical reading im getting the hang of…i just need to go more in depth of the stuff they r asking and im good. the vocab i need to go over a bit.</p>
