Good luck to everyone. I want to raise my score so badly. I agree, hw will have to take the back burner for the next 24 days. My SAT score is my priority right now.

The Dec SAT has me freaking out! Its my first time taking the SAT and I have a very very bad history with tests so I am aiming for anything above 2000. I just want to break 2000.

@brandigirl have you taken any practice tests to predict your score range?

I'm at my friends today. Definitely no studying getting done. My house has no power and is around 40*.

I took the Oct SAT; bombed that with a 1910. I'm currently studying for the Dec SAT. I feel like it's the CR that gets me every time (especially passage reading both short and long), any tips?
I have the BB, a bunch of Kaplan books, and Barron's.

@26antara,
Silverturtle's Guide to SAT and Admissions Success ---That has good info for CR.

How to Attack the SAT Critical Reading Section Effectively ---Of course there is this one.

Critical Reading---An analysis of right and wrong answer choices ---That's pretty recent.

Oh, and if you think you bombed the SAT, think again! My cousin took it in Oct. as a second run in her senior year. She posted her scores and it came out to a total of 1380...So think again before you say that you "bombed" something... Just sayin'. 1910 is a pretty decent score!

@26antara, when you read the passages pretend they are the most interesting thing you've ever read. Try it.

I know what you mean...I guess everyone has a different perspective on 'bombed'. Just didn't reach my goal this time.

@Billy I haven't received my own copy yet but I highly suggest that you review with "The Official SAT Study Guide with DVD". From all those books, it would be the very realistic one that could help you improve on the test. Digest its contents very well!
