What to do for June SATI

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hello. I'm taking my first SATI in June. I know there are (and will be) many treads related to this one, but I was really impressed by how warm-heart the users at CC are---please let me post a new thread here. </p>

<p>I want to know what I should do for the remaining month. I am serious about increasing my scores. </p>

<p>My best SAT scores (according to a diagnosis test I took at the princeton review) were M770, CR630, W700 (essay 10). Usually at home when I do the practice tests, I get an average of about 580-630 on CR and W (counting the essay as a 6). My goal: to have all my scores to be on the 700's.</p>

<p>During the previous months, I've finished the Barrons Orange Book (SATI), the PR's 11 Practice tests, the PR's Manual for the SAT (in PR classes), SAT Vocabulary for Dummies, and the Barrons CR Workbook (I gave up the Barrons Writing Workbook because it seemed meaningless). I recently ordered the CB "Blue Book" which should arrive soon. Currently, I'm mainly doing 1-2 practice sections per day+vocabulary. I remembered most of the High Frequency & High Prospect words, and I have just started remembering the whole 3500 list.</p>

<p>Should I devote more time to the vocabulary, or are there any effective short-term stategies I can use to increase my scores? Also, if there are any effective books I can use, please kindly let me know. </p>

<p>(I found out that the "The Rocket Review Revolution" is a good book, but it isn't avalible where I live and it would take 2-3 weeks for the book to arrive. Are there any alternatives?)</p>

<p>Thank you for reading.</p>

<p>I would say devote more time to vocab as that might take you down. Math part is quite easy but tricky too watch out for traps. Yep the blue book is the bible we SAT takers live by! </p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>Some facts I've learned from CC (correct me if I'm wrong)---Some people say that vocab isn't worth the time spent, and some say otherwise. Many say that we should spend more time on taking practice tests, instead of studying vocab. Mostly all say that the Blue Book is essential (even though it doesn't come with explanations).
I know that there are more people preparing for the June 2nd SAT. More advice please?</p>
