Test Preparation

<p>Any help for people at the 650 range?</p>

22

<p>I got a 690. I don't know why, but the reading was super hard that day. Anyways, I'm just doing more practice, memorizing words from real tests and stuff. Like, if I do a practice test and I see a word I don't know, I circle it and when I come back to check my answers, I look up the word too and put it in my list.</p>

23

<p>a 640 on the pre-test = how much on the actual thing?</p>

24

<p>As for the word list, where can i get the best and most concise one? How's mcGraw-hill's, kaplan's score raising dictionary? Does rocket review have a word list?</p>

25

<p>Rocket Review's word list is pretty good and concise. It consists of 323 "Power Cored" words that are important to know for the SAT.</p>

26

<p>STOP WITH THE "BUMP"s....thats sooooo stupid..... if you want to bump it up just write something like thanks or ask a question......dont write bump....so annoying</p>

27

<p>What's a good vocabulary list to use besides that scary Barron's one.</p>

28

<p>i like princeton review's. their "hit parade" is pretty good.</p>

29

<p>Is it in their Word Smart 2nd ed. book?</p>

30

<p>er...i think so? it's in one of the word smart books. i did well in CR (800). unfortunately, not so much in math (670). does anyone know how to raise a math score?</p>

31

<p>I'm in the 700s range of math... For math it's all about knowing the concepts and math vocab. Once you know them just practice. I hate it how most math people aren't that great at CR and how most CR people aren't great at M.</p>

32

<p>i hate it when they ARE good at everything! like 60% of ccers.</p>

33

<p>Haha, ya just about everyone here are like that. Oh well, anyway does anybody know how reliable Max Sat's vocabulary list is?</p>

34

<p>I've never heard of that.</p>

35

<p>I second what someone above said about literary terms. Those seem like they would be really useful, I know I've missed passage questions because of "analogous" and "conjecture" and I'm sure many other words before. No one has a list of those type of words, do they?</p>

36
