@farouz,
CR is tough on almost everybody. So, it's not just you! Right now, I'm scoring in the 600 range and I haven't even prepped for it, but my writing is declining.

Yeah, over half of those diagrams trip me up! It's just something that I really need to study.

Reckie

What do you mean by diagrams?

I don't understand, it seems like EVERYBODY does better on math than CR, so wouldn't the average be higher? lol

Marie96

The Venn diagrams..and that little note that is under almost all of the shapes: (Note: Figure is not drawn to scale)

Well, I'm better in CR and Writing than Math right now! M<W<CR

For writing, all I have to do is go over the grammar rules.
I have a prep book for CR.
Math- Ugh, still working on that...

Reckie

I don't remember any venn diagrams! lol
That's like two circles intersecting eachother, right?

Marie96

Yeah. Basically, I have problems with all the shapes and stuff lol.

I'll be taking the SAT for the first time, so I feel like I shouldn't be pressured as much as I am. However, the essay is incredibly difficult for me, mostly due to the lessons pounded into my head in AP History on how to write a good essay being antithetical to the methodology of the SAT Essay. I keep trying to find as many examples as possible, and then try to not waste space in the essay with repetition. In the practice tests I've taken (including a few fairly recent tests from 2005,) I'm missing only 1 or 2 in Math/Critical Reading, and a range of 1-4 in writing; therefore, the essay is incredibly important for my overall score.

Sorry for wasting space with my stress relief.

@Geneti,
Wow! You aren't missing many! Find examples that will be able to go with almost any prompt that you are given. One of mine is Socrates.

Nah, your rant is fine I ramble on wayyy too much about stuff like this to my friend.

Reckie

Pshhh, this entire thread is my rant.

Good luck!

Marie96

It's official...!!

10 more days until the November 3rd testing date!

Reckie

And our scores come out in... 29 hours?

I spent all day today buying an RC plane. When I go to purchase... $60 shipping and 3 weeks?!?!?! ****$%&!

I also didn't do any studying. woot.

Marie96

Let the countdown begin!

Dudee, you seriously need to get studying! Those 700+'s aren't going to come without some studying! Well, unless your October results come out to a 2100+, of course!

I'm procrastinating on my physics...

Geneti

@Marie96, Reckie: Thanks!

Reckie

@Marie, I'm going to study really hard for Writing this time. Drop a 700+ and then not have to worry about it anymore. Maybe I'll be able to bump up my CR score a little bit too. I'm banking on the December SAT for the 700's lol.

I love my excuses. They're pro.

I'm doing the barrons 27th edition. Actually i just realized I do better in the writing section of barron's too......... oh dear

Marie96

@Reckie,
Come on!! Get some motivation and inspiration!! You want those acceptance letters, right?!? Arghhhhh! Nah, not pro..

@Ssparkk,
About your previous post on pg 6, I did notice that some of the Math was harder in the BB than Barrons..but then again, maybe I just haven't studied that information yet before I quit with it. I'm working in Grubers, but the Barrons I was using was the 26th edition.

*10 days left*
