<p>what's xiggi's method for overall studyign i checked the first 3 pages and didn't really find much details, anyone have a link? And does xiggi have a method for CR? lol >.></p>
<p>entomom I read your guide and I just have some concerns. I find the hardest part is coming up with examples. Usually it takes me a while to take of 3 or at least 2 concrete examples before I can figure out which side of the assignment I want to take. With the time wasted to think of examples I wind up having to rush through it instead of elegantly writing it. While I'm not saying I can write a college A paper in 25 minutes, at least something that's worthy of a first draft and not a semi-outline would be nice. Do you have any suggestions or key books that you always look for , in terms of examples? Many people and I tend to like Harry Potter but that seems a little childish, says my tutor, your opinions and do you know any trends of examples from sources?</p>
<p>Sorry, I don't have too much to suggest beyond the types of examples cited in the link you gave. I'd have to agree that HP is a little lacking in intellectual content for a SAT essay. I know that my D took examples from a few books she used in HS, one was Jonathan Kozol's Death at an Early Age. I think anything you've read recently in school or on your own and can pull arguments or examples from is good.</p>
<p>Whew, just finished reading this huge thread. Took me 3 hours, but it was worth it, the Xiggi method is awesome and works well for me. </p>

<p>I think the open book means you work without time limits just trying to answer the questions. I dont think you are supposed to look at the answers</p>
<p>To anyone who can help:</p>
<p>I gave the Jan 2009 SAT and got 2120 - CR 750 M 680 W 690. I want to retake it in May with a target score of 2300+. Is that realistic if I am hitting above 720 in the Blue Book practice tests?</p>
<p>Hello everyone, It is my first post. I am actually a parent and I am looking to prep my daughter for SAT. Does anyone knows a good tutor in New York City area or within a reasonable distance? I would appreciate any referrals.</p>
<p>@Xiggi: “Several websites and some tutoring companies- offer a service that sends out a number of words on a daily basis. Since it would take only a few minutes to open the emails or log in at the website, it is a good idea to start subscribe to a few of them. This is the kind of repetition that helps you prepare without really feeling it.”</p>
<p>Could you list some of these websites you were talking about?</p>
<p>hey i scored a 2250 on my last sat
is it possible to score 2350 plus by next fall?
also, my little brother (9th grade) scored a 1900 on his sat- do you think he’ll top my score by the time he’s a junior</p>
