<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering how you CCers studied for the PSAT/SAT exams during school time. Did you finish homework early and worked on a section or two? Even though I have the Blue book and official PSAT tests from the online store, my parents aren't convinced that my SAT book will help me do well on the PSAT (for some reason, they think the PSAT is completely different from the SAT). So I was wondering if Barron's PSAT book was good. I know PR PSAT inflates your score.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>I wrote down hard words from Barron’s on a piece of paper every morning and carried it around, so I could pull it out and study when I was waiting for something or had nothing else to do.</p>
<p>I do a full-length practice test every Saturday.</p>
<p>you all didn’t do individual sections during weekdays?</p>
<p>Any good PSAT books besides the past PSATs from the online store and BB?</p>
<p>I go over my Saturday practice test on Tuesdays and Fridays for about an hour and a half each day.</p>
<p>I didn’t do much during the weekdays. I did some vocab whenever I felt guilty (once every two weeks?).</p>
<p>I did practice sections on Saturday though.</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation right now. School starts on the 18th for me and I’m going to try to study as much as possible before October. I don’t think you should do individual sections just because you may get used to it; you may have trouble concentrating for a 2 hour period of time. If you feel confident that this won’t affect you, then it’s fine. Personally, I’m just going to do exercises from various books on weekdays and practice tests on the weekends.</p>
<p>When you guys go over the critical reading section, how do you guys go about in reviewing it??? Do you reread the passage or what??</p>
<p>I add 1 section from the PSAT as an equating section to the 9-section-SAT. Doing so makes the test 10 sections, and gives me a more real test-taking condition.</p>
