what study plan do you follow if any?

do you guys follow a study plan or just randomly do sections out of books and such? my plan is as follows:
SAT Study plan weekdays:
• One essay (25 minutes)
• One or two sections of math (25-50 minutes)
• One reading section (25 minutes)
• One writing section (10 minutes)
• Additional worksheets, reading, vocabulary, corrections, or new essay examples (15 minutes)
1 hour and 40 minutes total



SAT Study Plan weekends:
• One or two essays (25-50 minutes)
• A complete math, reading, or writing section each day (75 minutes)
• Vocabulary/ Prose reading (20-30 minutes)
• Additional worksheets/ flashcards (15 minutes)
2 hours 15 minutes

When I prepared for the SAT, mine was less structured (usually just did a few sections when I had the time). I didn't bother spending over 1 1/2 hrs on any given day unless I took a full practice test. My math was already solid 800's so I spent all my time on reading/writing, which seemed to help.

@bhph11: That's a pretty rigorous study plan... When are you taking the test?

Taking it in January and again in February. I've been more or less giving it around 5 hours a day so far give or take. I'm just always panicking and I feel like I never learn anything. I wish I had 50 practice SAT tests on a stack neatly on my desk and I could study off of those.

I feel extremely overwhelmed. Perhaps it's because I'm disorganized, but this is ridiculous. I wish I had some confirmation that what I'm doing is working (doubt it btw!). I need to break 2100 sooo bad. I took the SAT once during Senior year cold and I did poorly. Now I need to transfer out of here and I'm panicking. It's great.
