I am really good in math so I am not to worried about that but i was going through the prep book and i was having difficulty with a decent amount of words in the english section. Any ideas to help fix that?
Any tips on how to study or prepare?
Any test taking tips? There is some in the book but i do not like living/dying by the book.
Lol at taking him seriously… I think you’ll find that a lot of the people on here dont remember the last test they took, yet alone a test from 6 years ago.
Good luck, dont stress over it, if you do bad, take it again, if you do bad again, you can always flip burgers
I was by no means a genius, but i didnt study and I got a 1280/1600, who knows how its graded now…
I used to be an SAT prep instructor. Everything is black and white with the test. For example… you score a certain number of points on the essay by having a thesis, five paragraphs, and a conclusion. You could write nothing meaningful in between and still get those points.
Buy a prep book, read the tips and tricks, and take a lot of practice tests.
I took my SAT back in 2003 and got a 1080. i never studied ever till i went to college last year. I was great at math but my engrish sucked. But the SAT didn’t really affect my future at all. Now a days i’m sure if you do poorly then you might as well bend over b/c everyone judges what you know based off of letters and numbers given to you by other people rather than what your actually capable of. test’s > me, but that doesn’t mean i don’t know what i’m doing.
I got a 1400 (back when the test was out of 1600) completely high and hungover… I forgot about it. In reality this test is not what you know but do you know how to take a standardized test.
I took the ACT three times trying to get the elusive 36, but every time I took it I got worse. Started at a 32 and ended at a 27. Studying the material will only help you so much, learning test prep will help you more.
Get the book that tells you how to take the test…studying material is useless. I skimmed over the book, and took the SAT 2 times. The test is no big deal, just make sure you eat alot before you go in, its a long time to sit in one place. The first time I took it, I didn’t eat, drank 2 cups of coffee and tried to take it, i was all shakey and jittery the entire time…it was terrible.
I got a 1210 in 11th grade back in 03. 27 on the act that same year. It got me a free ride to Alfred State so I never re-took it. I think my high school average was a 93 or something, I dont know how to study so I just walked in and took it.
Those scores are only good for getting into college right after high school. Anything after that it doesn’t matter really. Like I couldn’t get a scholarship using those scores now. So dont fuck up picking your college, you can only claim them once. no double dipping.
I didn’t study at all…think I got a 1210? but this was the old SAT, I hear there’s like a new format or some bullshit w/ different scoring now…even if u are good at math, u still need to do a few practice problems etc to make sure ur fresh on all the algebra and trig and shit.
As far as english goes, make flash cards, and u can write down synonyms & antonyms on the back along w/ the definition, and just read them everyday
