@zfrosting,
Great job! Keep the score rising!

@Reckie,
Ha, I'll "try" not to!

@Billy,
Yeah, that's what I'm mainly doing right now. Well, I guess you could say that...just taking a section at a time, but having a pretty good interval between all of them.

@jomi77,
Nah, I'm in SC.

Makeup testing still has yet to be announced for SC...

Reckie

Are you going to take it if there is one?

MasterYster

I took a practice over the weekend and got a 2310. I'm just really hoping I can repeat that on the real test

Marie96

Yes, if there is one, I'm definitely taking it!

@MasterYster,
That's awesome!! Keep it up!

17 More days...

I have a question for any/everybody...

How do you feel about omitting a question?

I know they say if you can cancel out at least one to three answer choices that you should just guess from there, but I noticed myself cancelling out an answer that I just don't think that could be correct, without any proof of it being right or wrong at all... It always happens when I get really caught up on one problem. In a case like that, would it be better to just omit or keep on guessing?

Reckie

If you guess 5 times its probable you will get 1 right and 4 wrong. -.25x4=-1+1=0. I think if you have read the question, guess. No matter what. Go big or go home.

I'm on day 4 of my study schedule; still going strong. Really proud of myself. 4 days in and I've accomplished more studying than I have in my life.(shows why I have an 86 average). Anyway, I'm learning quite a bit, and with the amount of knowledge I've picked up in four days, I can't begin to fathom how much I'll accumulate by December. I wish I could post a picture of it up, but no internet still. I guess we'll find out how much getting internet back(if I ever do) will negatively impact me.

A few kids were going crazy about BO2 today in school; I didn't even know it came out.(insert cha-ching sound here)

I might take the makeup SAT for practice, but I think a couple extra weeks will give me a lot of time to improve.

Billy17

If one can down the choices to 2, there's no reason to omit.

Reckie

@billy, well if you can't narrow down any choices, it's even. If you can take it down to 4 choices or less its likely you're increasing your score. Statistically speaking anyway. When in doubt, choose D.

Marie96

Thanks, I'll remember that!

They just announced the makeup test for Saturday, and I'm definitely going to take it! Woot!

My prep of CR and W has really increased my scores, and it wasn't even an hour in each section too, yet I spent around a week with Math and it hasn't done anything except increase by about 20 points...

Reckie

One new trick I learned.. On any math(diagram) question that IS drawn to scale, you can use your pencil as a "ruler" to figure out the question.

Finished Pwn the SAT: it was great: but now the Princeton Review book has been less than helpful.

zdesertion

I will also take the December 1st SAT, my current score is a 1250... I'm aiming for a 2000+, but will be satisfied with a 1850+ , I have a Barron's. flash cards , an official SAT book, and sylvan classes (which didn't help much, and now a waste of 1500 dollars)

Reckie

@zdesertion, good luck! That would be an amazing jump.

I think it's pretty obvious that classes are for extrinsically motivated individuals. If you're an intrinsic person; and you use the next few weeks wisely, you can definitely hit an 1850+ or even 2000! At 1250 though, you're going to need more than just some tricks for a 750 point jump. Hard work, dedication, and LOTS of review. Go over the basics if you don't have them down.

minhtri1995

let's rock the test !!

minhtri1995

oh, and are the majority of test takers seniors applying to colleges or younger students?

Marie96

@zdesertion,
Stay motivated, stay determined, and keep on studying! Make sure you go over all of the basics in each section and understand them.

@minhtri1995,
I'm a senior and applying.
