Stop acting so pretentious, Xiggi. Reading your posts made me want to throw up.

I think when you're offering advice to so many people on the SAT, you should state your score. If it worked for you, then I won't have a problem, but if you did poorly (I know this isn't likely, but still...) you really shouldn't be trying to teach people. Just my opinion.

All you new CCers aren't giving Xiggi the credit he deserves. His methods have helped many people (including myself) drastically improve their scores.

His score really shouldn't be a concern to you - in other words, what he scored isn't going to affect how his advice can help you. Nonetheless, if I recall correctly, Xiggi did post his score somewhere, so if it really bothers you, I'm pretty sure you can find it.

I'm sorry if i seem pushy or offensive, but I've already seen several people ask for tips and advice for improving CR scores, and I have been waiting anxiously for a response as well. I understand you are probably very busy with your own matters, and I am certain that we all are grateful for all your time and effort. I am only trying to remind you, and I hope you can at least provide us with a time when this will be available. Thank you.

is it worth it to start preparing for sat as a high school freshman and what advice would you give?

Does Kaplan 12 SAT test worth it? I finish all the test in the blue book.

Starting early always helps, but it also depends how well you're scoring already. Personally, I think freshman year is a bit too early, but if you're keen on starting now, my only advice is to read to build up vocabulary and practice.

Good luck.

Plz reply fast, does Kaplan 12 worth it?

...I just read about 5 pages worth of Xiggi and my eyes are burning...

kudos to Godot. I might agree with Xiggi a bit more, but anyone affilliated with Vladimir and Estragon are fine by me. ;]

Kaplan 12: Not worth it

jim takes the same train to and from work each day. during the morning, the train run in an average speed 80mile/h. during the evening, it is 40 miles/h if jim spent 2 hourse in the train that day, how many mile is the train ruide to work?

the correct answer in the answer key is 60 but i can't solve it how

2400SAT

Assume x = time to work. Then time from work = (2-x). Distance = rate multiplied by time. Distance is same in both directions. So: 80x = 40(2-x). Solve for x. x = 2/3 hours.
Therefore the distance to work is 53 1/3 miles. Ergo the answer key is wrong (or I need to change my CC identity).

Alternate solution: Use logic rather than algebra. If the train is twice as fast in the morning, then it will take twice as long to get home in the evening. So if the trip is 2 hours total, then you spend 2/3 of an hour getting to work, and 4/3 of an hour getting home.

alternate to the alternate solution: if this is not a grid-in and you have real numbers in the answer choices, simply work backwards by trying out each answer choice.

Using the xiggi method what kinda of point incrase shall i expect?

I am following it 'to the T'

i currently have a 2030 (1400/1600)

levin343

i am having a hard thing with the xiggi's formula - 2r1r2/r1+r2. this formula is well applied to find the average speed isnt it?

PRiSM92289

xiggi has a formula?
