In SC you should know lots of vocabs or you will have no idea. To know more vocabs I think the best way is reading a lot and then your head will memorize the words naturally. If you think you still have problem with vocab, the only way is learn by heart. This way is much more tiring and not effective. :|

You get 2400 when you don't want it (lack of desire achieves the achievement--??)

I got a 2400 by studying gradually, over time, and staying very calm the day of the test. I probably took a total of eighteen or so practice tests. It also helps to be lucky, very lucky.

I'm gonna have to go with natural inclination on this one. I didn't study much and did very well while a lot of my friends spent summers preparing and were really disappointed in their results.

Geoffrey, what tests did you take after you finished those in the blue book? In order words, what were the next best tests?

I'm in the ballpark of 2400 when I retake, so I was wondering what tests I should be doing.

I have a question, Ashraf. I didn't miss any sentence completions on my last SAT, but I missed 6 reading comp questions, all of them on that one passage with an interview with a "southern person", whose dialect I could not really understand (because they were asking all kinds of weird questions). I'm just wondering what your strategy is for going through the reading comps and how you do it both effectively and efficiently? And how do you deal with a case where maybe the passage seems confusing?
