| i know this has been asked before, but should I get the Testmaster's solutions book for the Blue book? I don't like checking my answers over the computer screen in the online course. Or should I try to figure them out myself? But how would the previous suggestion help in the Writing MC part? What have some of you guys done? | |

| My D used Testmaster's to quickly get the answer and figure out where she went wrong. I've heard other students say that they like figuring the right answer out for themselves as they feel that they remember it better that way. So, I guess it kinda depends on your learning style. | |

| GCF...in the consolidated blue book math answers thread you wrote:
"673 / 12 / http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/...d.php?t=154968"
but it actually is the solution to problem 16 on that page, not prob 12. 12 isnt even on that page lol. just a typo im sure, but i figured i should let u know so u can correct it to say 16.
(i would have pm'd u but u don't accept them...) | |

| Xiggi or anyone I have a question that hasnt been answered so far
I have pretty good scores but my problem is testing exhaustion. I lose focus about halfway through the test and I do worse the more practice tests I take. The questions just kinda...blur...and I know how to do them, but i cant focus
I know the advice is to have a snack, but this doesnt really help because food just distracts me
WHAT SHOULD I DO?????? i need to focus on the problems and really think about them | |

| ALL YOU NEED TO LEARN NEW VOCAB IS:
BLUE TAC.
BLANK FLASHCARDS.
WRITE UNKNOWN WORDS ON 10 CARDS (EVERY NIGHT OR EVERY OTHER DAY) AND STICK THEM ANYWHERE IN YOUR BEDROOM ( I HAVE THEM ON MY WARDROBE, MY SHOES, MY DOOR, MY COMPUTER, MY WALL, MY LAMP.)
BEFORE YOU SLEEP AND AFTER YOU WAKE UP. JUST TAKE A QUICK GLANCE.
use the words. say them out loud and make pertinent sentences out of them.
e.g.
Effusive - emotionally unrestrained
Forest Whitaker was rather effusive at the Oscars last night. | |

| do you really think it's worth it? I mean..my parents already think that 2 books is overkill. I'd buy it on my own, but only if you all highly recommend it and think I'm screwed without it? | |
