<p>However, you need the speed of Bob to determine the distance, not the time. </p>
<p>Double-however, Xiggy's point was that this formula is NOT NEEDED! All you need to know is that the answer will be slightly smaller than the mean of the two speeds. That knowledge will guarantee a correct answer on every one of this type of question (assuming the time is ONE HOUR) and only requires about 3 seconds of thinking. Xiggy's example is on page 2 (hit ctrl-f and type in "bicycle" to fast-forward to it). </p>
<p>I just discovered this thread today, and some of this stuff is ingenious. Think about it: Bob drives at 34.6mph to get to work and 85mph to get back, the round trip takes one hour, how far away does bob work? Gee, let's use POE and get a nice 400 on the SAT. Better yet, a complicated formula in which you're likely to make a computational error and waste valuable time. Or, let us instead use the Xiggy method and take the average of these two numbers, around 60, take away a little, say 5, and find the answer closest to 55. And now let us use the remaining 55 seconds to take a short catnap, read a page of the Great Gatsby, and find out ONCE AND FOR ALL how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-pop.</p>
<p>Okay listen up y'all!! This is what brought more score up 200 points for both the Reading, Writing, and Math section!!! First more scores were 600 on all subjects, exactly 600 this sucked so bad I needed help by a man. This man, is no ordinary man, he's Soowook! I mean it! All you have to do is google him and click on the first site given and then he will provide a lot of GREAT strategies not contained in any kind of BOOK!! Please take Soowook into consideration.</p>
<p>umm for the College Board Online Program..
someone said the tests could be printed from online...
would anyone happen to have scans or downloads of the tests online???
i am through all the tests in the blue book and still not satisfied completely....
THANKS...contact me please =D</p>
<p>When the thread started, he was a Sophomore at Claremont McKenna, so I assume he graduated last June. Unless I got the years wrong, in which case he's a Senior now.</p>
<p>i found it that i didnt have the motivation and the determination to study on my own so i begged my parents to send me to SAT prep class. so far i have improved 200 pts. can anyone help me start a post or thread or whatever its called? i am new at this</p>
<p>Xiggy's a genius. I took a BB test about a month ago. I spent 2 weeks thinking about his approach to math, and the second 2 weeks reading RR (maybe 20 minutes per night). About 3 and a half hours ago I took another BB test. Writing went down 20, CR down 10 (mainly because I lost track of time on a morbidly boring passage about Mark Twain), and math. . . ? Up 170! 590 to a 760! I only missed two questions (and didn't omit any).</p>
<p>Coolname -- what I read into your post is that you got your score not with "...maybe an hour of studying..." but with your innate, existing ability. If you've read the first 5-10 pages of this Xiggi Method, you have a means by which you can, three-four nights a week (with an hour or so each) over the next few months likely improve your score. So, is that "realistic?" Of course, but it is up to you and the effort you apply.</p>
<p>Hello, I would like to question the accuracy of such a method as studying flash cards (large word lists).</p>
<p>Recently, I have half-way finished the first Word Smart book, and I would like to say how well the book lays out sentence structures on how to attain new vocabulary used in context. </p>
<p>Xiggi, I highly suggest you use this book in your SAT planning (or studying the mere SAT Hit parade list); for nearly every word on the SAT in March I knew from the book-proving its effectual content.</p>
<p>Also, I would have to say one thing. Take Focus Factor on the day of the test. Although some think that vitamin supplements do not help, I think that focus factor helped me to concentrate much more than I would have if I did not take it on the day of the test.</p>
<p>this is kind of off topic, but i'm a student in Canada and i don't really understand how come there are so many tests for admissions and the differences between the SAT's and the SAT subject tests.
what am i supposed to take in order to get into a college in the States?</p>
<p>Hi, my son is a sophomore heading into junior. His psat practice weren't impressive and I decided to jump in to help him out. Hope everyone can help me out because I know very little about sat</p>
