What helped you best prepare for the SAT?

<p>I'm taking the SAT. So far, I have the blue book and official online course to study. I deff don't feel like its working and i am doing HORRRIBBBLLLEEE on the practice quizzes. What helped you study and what score did you end up getting(you don't have to say your score) ? I've heard the princeton review is good but how is it good? I forget a lot of the math too.
PLEASE HELPP!!</p>

<p>My son used Professor dave’s owner’s manual for the sat and got great results. He hated the other books, but this one was “speaking to him” he said. </p>

<p>Also, the blue book as a source of practice questions. It’s not enough to know what you got wrong and right, it’s important to know why. The SAT is a technique based test. Learn proven techniques, then attack it. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Scored a 580 on the March SAT for CR and 640 on Writing. </p>

<p>Read a LOT of books over the summer and no SAT-specific studying.</p>

<p>Scored a 720 in CR and 740 in Writing in the October SAT. Also jumped from a 32 to 35 on the ACT (April to September ACT).</p>

<p>I think the books really expanded my vocabulary more than anything, made me a much faster reader, and also significantly increased my reading comprehension. I read In Cold Blood, The Picture of Dorian Gray, A farewell to Arms, the Aeneid and the Inferno, to name some of the books I read. I suggest focusing on 19th century/early 20th century novels particularly Dickens and Austen.</p>

<p>I’ve heard good reviews (none bad so far) on Professor Dave’s Manual and I think I’ll add that to my list of things to do</p>
