SAT Prep Journal

<p>I was wondering If I could set up an SAT journal in a thread. </p>

<p>My idea right now is to prep very hard and hope for a great score in October 1st</p>

<p>I have taken 2 SAT's Already
1. SAT #1, little sleep the night before and Unknowingly I just showed up with no prep work. My parents and I thought I should just do one as practice. so I did pretty poorly considering I was pretty sleepy and the school was far away.</p>

<p>May 07 test scores: Reading 550, Math 510 , Writing 560..1625 Essay was an 8
1620
Ouch that was bad!</p>

<ol>
<li>Second test in June went better</li>
</ol>

<p>I prepped with a class at school. The class was a waste of time really. I used Kaplan test as a way to become familiar. Never did a practice test or a full diagnostics test. </p>

<p>score in June was all around improvement. I got some sleep this time and had low test anxiety compared to the first venture. Prep wok came in handy only to the fact that I knew how the test was designed and about the sections.</p>

<p>I actually think the questions were easy and not hard</p>

<p>score: Reading 600, Math 630, Writing 570
1800 exactly improvement of 180 points</p>

<p>right now I decided to drop kaplan and work with the real testing book. Majortests.com has a pretty good 8-week program I am going to do in less time to get a start on as my prep</p>

<p>SAT</a> Prep : Practice tests and information for students taking the SAT test <- this has the material to work from</p>

<p>I have a few questions though:</p>

<p>I still need to work on doing the SAT subject tests..Can I take them the same day I take the SAT?
I have not sent my scores to any college should I? rising senior
when should I apply? I want to get better test scores first, but I will need aid and as much as possible so I do not want to miss the early app</p>

<p>rising senior right now</p>

<p>ACT+writing I did terribly, got a 23 composite. I really do not like the test as much but it has no sat test subjects to accompany it so that is a major plus.</p>

<p>gpa is 4.01 weighted and 3.6 unweighted, many AP classes coming up senior year heavy corse load yet no AP classes as of yet</p>

<p>I am going to complete the 3 Hour SAT on the college board website tomorrow
includes essay and all</p>

<p>also going to buy official sat book and stop using kaplan program…might buy sat subject test if possible…will check library first before buying anything</p>

<p>the majortest 8-week plan includes 1,000 vocab words with what seems to be building block material on the 3 subjects covered in the SAT.</p>

<p>It looks good for now. already started looking at vocab words</p>
