SAT studying over the Summer.

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I am aiming for a 1450/2200 on the october SAT. I plan to take a chunk out of everyday (1 hr to 1 1/2 hrs) to study. Here is what I aim to study</p>

<p>First thing- Vocab
I want to ace the sentence completions on the October SAT, so I am free to get 4-5 wrong on passages. Should I just read, a ton (which i hear works wonders, but im a little skeptical) or study the words from an SAT book (Gruber's for example).</p>

<p>Second Thing- Math
On the last SAT, i got a bit nervous during the sections. How can I improve my speed in doing the problems. I can usually figure them out, but just not always in the time frame given.</p>

<p>Third Thing- How to study. Should I study 30 min for each subject a day, or do a different subject everyday (or every week?).</p>

<p>With the exception of the 2 weeks before the ACT (which i am going to non-stop do science problems), I am free from now until october. How do you think I should go about in studying for this test</p>

<p>practice doing timed essays in those 20 mins.. dont cheat.. </p>

<p>study alot of vocab... and do alot of math questions.. you should even do SAT 2 Math IC questions if you have the time..</p>

3

<p>I am doing the same thing. I am doing a lot of CR. I find that I get most of the questions right (probably 1 wrong every now and again), but I find that I take my time and spend well over 25 minutes on each section.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice on how to work quicker?</p>

<p>try reading the passage q's before the passage so you know what to look for and can save time instead of re-reading for text evidence. take notes while reading the passage and underline ideas that seem critical. this will save you more time in the long run</p>
