<p>Well im taking the sats in october and im feeling as if im not improving TT_TT
right now i am at about M: 680
W: around 610
CR: like 550
Is it possible for me to get 2100+ (i really want 2200) by the october test date? Can anyone help me outline a "plan" for me to achieve this? </p>
<p>My prep material is: Barrons SAT 23rd edition
Barrons WR workbook
Barrons CR workbook
PR's cracking the SAT
SAT online course
Blue book</p>
<p>TY for all replies... im feeling hopeless right now TT_TT</p>
<p>Just practice, read, study vocabulary, practice..
there's not much to it
you have all the resources you need, so use them!</p>
<p>I'd recommend spending separate time for each section. Do practice questions and then analyze WHY you got them wrong..
just practicing won't help if you don't understand why you're messing up</p>
<p>Devote like an hour each day to SAT prep
do 1 or 2 sections and check/analyze your answers
I'd suggest doing 3 sections and then calculating what your score would be.. but that'd be more than an hour. if you're devoted though, you should practice 3 sections at once, in one sitting.</p>
<p>after doing that for a while (1 week, 2, 3, etc. however long you think is necessary), take a full test
see if you've improved.. if not, then rethink your study plan</p>
<p>for vocab, I suggest getting a book like SAT vocab for Dummies (I liked it.. I thought it was useful)
or just plain old memorization works too (Sparknotes lists are good)
a cool thing for sentence completion practice is the AIM robot Prof Gilzot
if you're bored online and have nothing to do, why not do some SAT questions??</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>oh yeah, and I think the Blue Book and SAT online course are the most reliable sources for SAT questions..
I found PR's cracking the SAT way easier than the actual test.. (esp. the CR)
I'd suggest getting PR's 11 Practice tests though</p>
<p>i thought PR stuff was harder than the actual test... :(
Well yes i am using the explanations to see why im getting the questions wrong so i guess ill just stick at it
also, the barrons high frequency list is good right?</p>
<p>Well, it's really simple. You just read the sentence and then figure out whether the blank would be a positive or negative word. Then get some words if you can in your head for those blanks, and look at the answers. You can obviously eliminate those that don't fit with positive/negative.. it can also help with words that you don't know the definition of because some words that are negative sounds negative.. like obnoxious or decry..etc.</p>
<p>Yeah....I agree with the above posts, but I believe 1-2 hours won't be quite enough. Maybe add in some Austen reading or NY times or w/e and read ACTIVELY!</p>
