<p>@ randomhispanic
if you are hispanic,
then you are an urm so a plus factor 4 u.
so if you want above 2150, i d suggest Kaplan’s 12 practice tests+ mcgrawhills 10 practice tests.
after you thoroughly go over them, you should be fine.
and buy a kaplans math workbook</p>

<p>i am shooting for a 2350+ so i am doing 75 practice tests. tell you what, numbers dont lie
good luck!
you can totally ace the math section if you solve practice tests.</p>

<p>@xxsleepyheadxx</p>

<p>i would buy direct hits, and hot vocab for the SAT, if your weakest section is CR. plus,
check out this site: itod.com it gives you SAT reading everyday.</p>

<p>also, buy kaplans 12 practice tests, and PR’s 11 practice tests. those are best for CR.
but you really need to take 15+ practice tests for CR.
and, i also suggest Rocket review. dont buy it, because you ll only need it for CR section. and it costs about 85dollars+ now, cause they are out of print. so try to find in your local library.
good luck!</p>

<p>@schoolisfun
I am also shooting for the ivies
Ok you have to enjoy doing practice tests, but like regularly… do you have that discipline? Also pay extreme attention in algebra 2
For vocab, the best is to learn them by cluster. Also look up all the words you don’t know after each practice test. Yeah for the PSAT, if you prepare hardcore for just the PSAT, then you ll rock the SAT, since most of the basic skills are already acquired. You only need to solve practice tests!
Here is a list of p.tests:
BB make sure you buy it with Amazon.com: The Ultimate SAT Supplement: KlassTutoring Solutions To Every Test Problem in The Official SAT Study Guide (9781439215043): Erik Klass: Books
And then buy kaplan 12 practice tests, and PR, and if you are done with that, mcgrawhills.
Best of luck to you</p>
