<p>Hey there :)</p>
<p>Summer comes and excessive learning begins...</p>
<p>Can you help me making everyday schedule of sat preparing?</p>
<p>example:
woke up at 09:00... probably best time to take the test..</p>
<p>then take a rest...review answers ...</p>
<p>something like this on daily basis...</p>
<p>please write if you have specific ideas...im not interested in posts like "it depends on you".</p>
<p>Thanks all !!</p>
<p>It seems you would run out of tests rather quickly. I recommend you do about 3 sections a day and review them thoroughly. Then, near the end of summer, you can start taking full tests on the weekend.</p>
<p>well,great answer!</p>
<p>I have near 40 official sat tests…(blue book, online course and SAT QAS)…
also Barrons… and some tests from library…around 60 tests i think…</p>
<p>I asked this because i knew a guy who slept only 4 hours and learned very hard…he got very high score.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me some concrete advice ?</p>
<p>I, too, look forward to see others’ responses. I’m having a hard time creating a schedule. I have a lot of things going on.</p>
<p>I get the impression you speak English as a second language. The advice I gave someone else should help you as well (even if your first language IS English).</p>
<p>Study vocabulary words just before you go to bed. Sleep consolidates memory. Also you need to be concerned with second and third definitions and connotative as well as denotative meanings of words, especially if you are shooting for the highest scores. I suggest you read news, business and science magazines (in English) and keep a running list of words you encounter that you don’t know. Use a dictionary and read ALL of the definitions. Write them in a journal. The act of writing expands the amount of your brain that stores the memory of the definition. (Try to add 5 - 10 words a day.) Read the journal before you go to bed at least twice a week. Don’t try to memorize as much as test your recall and just read the list.
Read the magazines for practice reading (CR) and for gathering general knowledge that will come in VERY handy when you write the essay. Be an active reader. Think about what you read.
Take practice tests once a week and pay close attention to the answers and the explanations of all of the answer choices. You are looking for your own weaknesses and you are learning the way the test writers think. Apply what you learn about the kinds of questions asked in the CR sections to the magazines you read. Think, if this were a CR passage, what would a SAT test writer ask me about it? Also, keep track of the vocabulary words in the CR practice tests and add them to your journal.
It’s not a bad idea to keep a small notebook and pen with you at all times to record new words you may encounter in order to look them up and add them to your journal later.</p>
<p>If English is a second language, I can’t stress enough the importance of working to learn it better. I once had a student who raised his score 700 points in 6 weeks. (That was when the top score was 1600 rather than 2400.) He simply worked on the language. It had a big effect on his math score as well as his verbal score.</p>
