<p>Thank you very much for all the information Xiggi!
I am taking the official SAT in May and I’m aiming for a high score.</p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to review geometry fundamentals / equations and re-familiarize myself with shortcuts for the Math portion? </p>

<pre><code> I typically miss around 4 - 5 questions for the entire math portion but recently I’ve been doing worse on the practice tests. I feel that it may be my lack of connection to the mathematical world (haha).

<p>For the critical reading and writing sections, would you recommend reading the college board “suggested list of books for SAT”? (i.e. Frankenstein, To Kill a Mockingbird…)</p>

1014

<p>What is college board reading list? Is there link you can post here?
How many people get perfect score-2400 by using his method?</p>

1015

<p>To Xiggi:</p>

<p>Do you have statistics to show good improvement by using your method? How long does it take to prepare for testing?
Thanks!</p>

<p>does Xiggi ever respond?</p>

<p>this is a very old thread, i would guess not, they probably have important things to do now in life. AcademicHacker, Notiaraperp, and others haven’t been on for a while as well.</p>

<p>Xiggi please advise. Two of my children need advice in studying for the SAT. My daughter is in 10th grade and son is in 8th grade. Both children were born in October and could of been held back a year (should of?). Mastery of public school material gives older daughter some challenges more then my son. Daughter has taken PSAT with not the greatest results. My oldest child, daughter didn’t make time to really study for SAT. She is a senior now and took the SAT twice, May in junior year, 1,980 or so and September senior year 2,190. She had the self study Princeton review book and I don’t think it was used intensively. My senior was very busy with clubs and year round athletics. </p>

<p>I want to take corrective action with my younger children and you seem to be the expert. Can you recommend a direction for me to pursue so my children can learn the necessary skills to test well?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
