<p>Let’s see.</p>
<p>Get the blue book after you complete Barron’s book and Direct Hits. Take practice test #1 and score yourself (the whole thing timed). This should give you a general idea of where you rank according to an actual administered SAT. If you get close to your target score, keep practicing. If you are nowhere close (300+ points off), you might want to consider picking up some workbooks.</p>
<p>Practice Test #1
For CR, understand why you got something wrong. If you are guessing, put something that indicates you guessed on that question (that way when you go back to review, you know why you may have got the question wrong/right). If you are doing terrible on sentence completions (9/19 questions right), you might want to start studying something other than Direct Hits (try out WordSmart and More WordSmart by Princeton Review). </p>
<p>For Math, you can usually just find the answers at some site like Khan-Academy or w/e people use (I use PWNtheSAT Math). Answers are also on the collegeboard site when you go to enter your test information in there.</p>
<p>For Writing, find out the rules you kind of know compared to the ones you know. The ones you know should be the ones you are getting right. The ones you kind of know fluctuate during the test. Also, since the essay is self graded, you can post it up here on CC and get a score on it from someone else (the people here are pretty much accurate in their scoring)</p>
<p>At the end of the day if you want a 2200 Barron’s should get you there. You can try out some of the Barron’s Books such as the CR Workbook and the Writing Workbook. For Math, it is completely up to you on what you choose. PWNtheSAT Math is pretty solid. Gruber’s Math Workbook is if you want to break a 600 in math (you probably already have).</p>
<p>Read some of the guides on CC as well. They have very good information which can boost your scores 50+ points (Noitaderp’s CR Guide boosted me 90 points). Here’s a sticky with links to what other people have written up.</p>

<p>Lastly, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. I can’t stress this enough. Good luck.</p>
