<p>Ok guys im currently at tenth grade (its junior because in my country high school ends up in eleventh grade) and i plan to take the SAT next year, probably one in 6 months and another in 8 so i have plenty of time, heres my schedule of work (just for home)</p>
<p>50 vocabulary words every day
Mon: SAT practice, practice only 1 section and tips for SAT
Tues: Math
Wedn: English (Grammar and Writing)
Thurs: Read, people say it will help me in the CR part (well reading newspapers and books)
Friday: I thought that as i will be studying no more than two hours just to read news and whatever i like.
Sat: This is like a day when i study things about my interest, non SAT ones
Sun: This is like the friday but with more time, just read newspapers and study in whatever field i find interesting.</p>
<p>Ok this is the schedule i made by myself, obviously im accepting critics and recommendations, and im going to add that the average time for studying a day (week days) is 3 hours</p>
<p>Also does one day itself for the SAT is enough or it will be better if i add tues a 1 hour SAT Math, wed 1 hour sat writing and thues 1 hour of sat cr?</p>
<p>impressive but a little overkill…cut down on the vocab words especially. are you planning on learning 50 words everyday for 6 months? i hope not…besides, it is impossible to truly LEARN that many words a day. it’ll be futile memorization. i should add, the amount you plan to read will be truly beneficial, not just for the SAT but real-life thinking skills and overall comprehension as well.</p>
<p>but relax a little bud you have so much time</p>
<p>Yeah im saying this because i found it on a post, ya it seemed difficult for me too, ok i will cut it down to 15 words/day for 5 days a week, there would be like 4050 words in a year but its obviously that i wont be remembering all of them and maybe i will have to repeat some words so at the end they would be the two thousand words recommended for the SAT.</p>
<p>And i will take the relax recommendation if i feel very isolated, but im doing this because i have not been studying a through high school, im just starting seriously now.</p>
<p>I would keep it consistent. 1-2 hours a day (including review) and one test a weekend, but that’s just me. Don’t feel forced to do work; Do as much work as you feel comfortable with just remember to review thoroughly and meticulously.</p>
<p>Ok i will take your advise, it would be like </p>
<p>Mon: test, strategies and all of everything
Tues: 1 hour of math (studying)
Wed: 1 hour of writing (studying and writing 1 or two essays)
Thus: 1 hour of critical reading (reading books and learning the words meaning) </p>
<p>And the rest would be like a break and time to study for other things non SAT related</p>
<p>well if u want dramatic improvement u gotta work for it. IMO, your current schedule is not rigorous enough. I am working at least 6 hours a day on SAT.</p>
<p>The OP has over 6 months to prepare. He/She does not need a very rigorous schedule. In my opinion, quality>quantity. I used to do 6+ hours prep daily and ended up doing 26+tests for some okay results (300+ point gain). However, I realized, after some help from Mifune, that breaking the practice tests into small digestible chunks is better than piling on practice test after practice test.</p>
<p>Furthermore, taking one practice test a day would cause some mental lethargy. Mental lethargy could lead to inconsistency in studying for the test and overall antipathy for the test itself. </p>
<p>I also believed that numerous practice tests would give me a near perfect SAT score (2350+). However, after talking to a lot of 2400ers (especially mifune), it is obvious that taking time to review thoroughly is better than taking practice tests nonstop. </p>
<p>@OP take practice sections, read direct hits, write down questions you got wrong. The amount of practice tests one has to take for a 2400 varies. Some take less than 8, some take more than 20. You should understand every question you got wrong. Review everyday, the SAT is a cumulative learning effort and the same concepts do pop up again and again. By learning the types concepts tested you will begin to cut down the number of questions you answer incorrectly on each test. It is much easier on the mind to learn the concepts by doing and reviewing small amounts at a time than by doing an entire test and giving a cursory glance at the explanations. (After all would you give the same amount of attention and focus in reviewing 20 questions as you would 170 questions?). You should, from time to time, take a full length timed practice test in order to build up stamina. Also try to cut down 5-10 minutes from each section. Remember: Do NOT strain yourself.</p>
<p>Ok now i think that a test every two weeks is perfect </p>
<p>The schedule is ending like this</p>
<p>Monday: SAT complete test or SAT strategies and overall exersices</p>
<p>Tuesday: English grammar and vocabulary plus SAT Writing (Write 1-2 essays and make writing exersices on the blue book)</p>
<p>Wednesday: Im going to split it into regular Math with a textbook (nothing to do with SAT) and The Gruber Workbook for math (i could use the blue book too)</p>
<p>Thursday: Reading textbooks to familiarize with writing styles and vocabulary to improve my writing and CR, i will take a time to make CR exersices too.</p>
<p>Friday: FREE day, just reading newspapers and short stuff.</p>
<p>Saturday: This day is mostly for study things that i like and maybe to prepare me for the SATII.</p>
<p>Sunday: Im going to study all the sections of the SAT plus it will be a free day too.</p>
<p>And what im going to use for studying</p>
<p>Tests: Blue book and collegeboard online (i think it is enough)
Math: (Blue book and Gruber SAT preparation)
CR: Im going to read textbooks plus BB and Direct Hits
Writing: I think knowing grammar well and making 4 essays every week is enough</p>
<p>Well like english isn’t my foreign language i need practice in everything and i already checked Xiggi advice, i thought i was doing it correctly,</p>
<p>If i understand my schedule i’m doing one section a day for 3 days and a test in the weekends, so change it to two sections a day for 5 days would be better no?</p>
<p>And by section you men study the specifically section right? like going to study CR and start working on vocabulary, grammar and that stuff.</p>
<p>I am going to follow MateoM’s schedule. It seems to be organized, effecient, and not overloaded, in addition to that I have all the books he will be using except direct hits.</p>
