Applying to College

<p>so i'm chinese, i've only been to the US for a little over 2 years, my speaking is okay, but my writing and reading sucks. i'm going to be a junior in high school this fall, and about to take the PSAt and preparing for SAT. i have a lot of trouble preparing for those. I have a lot of SAT books, but my problem is i don't know A LOT of vocabularies, so when I tried to read those books, i don't understand them. and i was wondering if i am suppose to study all those SAT vocabs 1st, and then study the books?? but i'm afraid that by the time i finished all those vocabs, i wouldn't have time left. so what should i do? which one should I study first??? any suggestions?</p>
