<p>What is so cool about Xiggi that just freaks out everyone enough to recommend it to everyone else?</p>
<p>XIGGI IS NOT AN “IT”. </p>
<p>I meant the plan. Camp David is an “it.”</p>
<p>I have no idea. I wish I could be famous for spewing common sense.</p>
<p>A lot of people saw their scores increase pretty significantly after following a plan that xiggi described. A lot of it is common sense, but its organized well and there are some good insights. Why don’t you guys just read the thread and see if you think it will be helpful? It doesn’t take that long.</p>
<p>My kids used the Xiggi plan with good success. Saved a lot on test prep. He’s also a great poster with a lot of insight in general. Sometimes people just earn the accolades. </p>
<p>I just think it is literally a time waster (without ignoring its positive effects). I mean, going back to every section you’ve learned after you learned it (correct me if I am mistaken) is just a waste of time.</p>
<p>^Your critique is very unclear. What are you talking about?</p>
<p>it’s cuz of the name— Xiggi is a very melliflous name</p>
<p>This is what #carolyn said before outlining the plan:</p>
<p>"Break the tests in the book down into separate sections. Take each section one at a time. Do not worry too much about time in the beginning. After you have finished each test, review the answers and the explanations carefully for each problem, even the ones you got right. This last is VERY important as you want to make sure you know WHY you got each problem right so you can start to recognize patterns and similar questions.</p>
<p>Repeat the process with each section and every part of the book. Then retake the tests again, and do the same."</p>
<p>Seriously, isn’t this just a waste of time?</p>
<p>@college123college “Mellifluous” is a good SAT word… But please don’t use “cuz” in a SAT essay.</p>
<p>^^There’s a lot more to it than a one paragraph summary by carolyn. No, its proven to be a very good use of time for many, including a few who have already answered you on this thread.</p>
<p>Many people find the Xiggi Method helpful. Reviewing problems you got right helps reinforce what you’ve learned. Once you know the material well, you can look for short cuts to shave time off each section leaving more time to tackle tougher problems. </p>
<p>True.</p>
<p>The proof is in the eating of the pudding, which is, btw, the actual adage. Also phrased as “The proof of the pudding is in the eating”. In this case the eating is taking the real pudding, errr… I mean test, and the proof is the improved scores, quite often fairly dramatic.</p>
<p>Have you tried his advice yet? Maybe it could help you to improve your scores if you need improving. I went from PSAT of 211 to 2260 with the Xiggi method.</p>
<p>Wait…it works for all tests?</p>
<p>@Xiggi explain yourself.</p>
<p>^I’m sorry, but where do you get off making this type of demand? If you want an explanation of xiggi’s ideas go to his thread and read them. </p>
<p>@xiggi’s guide helped DD with her SAT prep. Has Xiggi even weighed in on this thread? What is there to explain?? There is no one forcing anyone to read his guide and take his advice(or her). Like anything else, one can take it or leave it.</p>
