SATs on May 3rd, 2008... Best way to prepare??

<p>I will be writing my exam on may 3rd...I want to get above a 2200...</p>

<p>How many hours of preparation should i do everyday?</p>

<p>How do i do really well in all three sections???</p>

<p>the same problem. I’m having Sat that May and I’m an international student. I feel not so bad at Math and Grammar in Writing, however, Critical reading and Essay are a big trouble to me. Also in May, I have my final exam at school :-S. I hate it, and it seems like I can just take it (sat) 1 time, or it will be too late, u know, Toefl, Sat 2 and many other complex things I’m trying to figure out about applying process…</p>

<p>I have just get used to Sat 1 for about 1, 2 months, I mean, I have only read books and really spent time studying it for 1.5 months, however, 3 months next, will that be so much crazy and too soon?</p>

<p>About Essay, how can you brainstorm so fast? I always consider “approve or not approve”, trying to find out which way would be easier, then I make outline, but it’s so time-consuming ~"~</p>

<p>Critical Reading, many people tell me to look fast to find main idea, look fast at questions then skim. But I can’t. All I can is to read quite carefully, then read questions and answer them later. I haven’t tried to do it under time pressure, but that’s very time-consuming, too.</p>

<p>Please anyone gives me some advice.</p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>“How many hours of preparation should i do everyday?”
1 on weekdays; 4 on weekends (sat + sun)</p>

<p>“How do i do really well in all three sections???”
Math: Practice
CR: Vocab, and practice
Writing: 2 essays in a week, and practice </p>

<p>“About Essay, how can you brainstorm so fast?”
You do it so many times, that you fix a structure in your head, and you memorize examples/quotes so you can use them quickly. </p>

<p>“I have just get used to Sat 1 for about 1, 2 months, I mean, I have only read books and really spent time studying it for 1.5 months, however, 3 months next, will that be so much crazy and too soon?”
Yea, that’ll be crazy, do 2 hrs or prep everyday, and even more on weekends, and u shud be fine.</p>

<p>thanks very much, 2h/day, I think I can afford it :D</p>
