<p>I was looking through the xiggi thread and there are like 100000000 posts, separated by some non-related SAT jibberish by other members. </p>
<p>Can somebody sum up the famous “xiggi method” in one paragraph? I think this would be beneficial to everyone on this board. The main xiggi topic is just way too long and some of it is rather old–the thread was started more than 1 year ago–I believe?</p>
<p>There isn’t any method. Seriously, except like practice.</p>
<p>it basically says to divide the collegeboard’s official guide into sections rather than tests and then take a test or two UNTIMED to see what you are capable of then after preparation take sections of CR/MATH/WRITING (the first couple untimed then all others timed) and see you’re improvement…after you’ve done prepping and have say 4 tests…then you can start taking a whole test (Timed)…</p>
<p>but like glucose 101 said…it basically just says to practice</p>
<p>anyone else? bump</p>
<p>Sigh…</p>
<p>Move your cursor to the Google search area. Type ‘xiggi method’. Click on <go>, and read what shows up.</go></p>
<p>I browsed the Xiggi method a while back while I was still SAT-ing (DONE forever now!), and I understand your confusion with the thread, lol. It took hours of searching… basically I think it means try to take as many Blue Book tests as possible, and REVIEW ALL YOUR ANSWERS - EVEN THE CORRECT ONES. That’s basically key. It’s so you understand how you got the correct answer so you can do it again and again on the actual exam.</p>
<p>To get a concise summary by Xiggi himself:</p>
<ol>
<li>Google “admissions advice”</li>
<li>Go to the blog with that name</li>
<li>Go to Join the Discussion</li>
<li>Go to Preparing for College, Test Prep</li>
<li>Bring up Xiggi’s musings on preparing for the SAT</li>
</ol>
<p>I am posting this on the sticky Xiggi thread too for future reference. One last thing, it really works. Good luck!</p>
