I'm not sure about the 50 pg paper you're referring to, but there's a summary of the xiggi method starting on post #571 of this thread.

I am preparing for SAT and I have tried this xiggi method as well, but it looks little confusing to me.I find the the SAT standardized tests on [prohibited link] lesser confusing, and the tests are timed, i can already see my scores improving.

Lizzy,
One of the major points of the xiggi method is to use ONLY CB SAT tests for practice, the ones on the website are NOT official CB tests. Perhaps that's why they're less confusing to you. It's not very helpful to practice with different tests than what you'll be taking for a real score, it may mislead you into expecting a higher score than you will actually receive.

Even if you don't use xiggi's methodology (everyone has to find the method that works for them), I would always recommend using only CB tests (either SATs in the blue book or PSATs ordered from the CB) as any other tests (including Kaplan, PR, etc.) are never going to be exactly like the ones you'll be sitting when you take the SAT for real.

Hi...I've heard that Xiggi's prep advice is really helpful but I'm still kinda confused about what it is....Does anybody by any chance have a consolidated list of Xiggi's advice? (there's just so many pages to look at....)

Thanks!
