possible?
Rediculous ?:

Is it possible to get 2000+ on the sat by:
memorizing, taking, retaking, taking again all the 8 practice tests in the 'blue book' until you can practically get all the questions right?

I mean it sounds reasonable. It's crunch time for me; i dont have time to play silly games by making flash cards full of vocab words. I have 2 months (until June 7th sat) to rip apart this College Board book (metaphorically speaking).

Just wondering if this method would work?

if you memorize but also learn how to do the stuff then i think it would work somewhat effectively...

Just doing practice test after practice test is going to be of limited benefit if you don't go through each test and understand why you got a question wrong; take a look at whether there's a certain type of question that always trips you up, and adjust your studying/prep accordingly.
