<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Lets use this topic to gather tips and trickets to improve your scores.</p>
<p>On Math, always search for positve negative words like unshaded/shaded.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Practice, practice, and a lil more practice</p></li>
<li><p>In CR passages, try to find something in the passage that supports your answer.</p></li>
<li><p>In writing-improving paragraphs and sentences, try to find the most concise and grammatically correct answer.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Isnt there like a template for the essay?</p>
<p>I heard that if you follow a template you have more chances of scoring higher</p>
<p>I dont think using a template for the essay will guarantee a better score. The essay is scored based on how well u support ur examples.
I think the template goes sumthing like:
- Intro w/ thesis
- Example 1
- Ex 2
- Ex 3
- Conclusion</p>
<p>This might help organize ur essay, but wont guarantee a better score</p>
<p>For the essay, I think the keys are (I got an 11 & ran out of time):
-Crystal clear thesis…3 obvious examples
-Facts followed by analytical commentary, one after the other
-Transitions between paragraphs
-Some sort of conclusion</p>
<p>Unlike most people think, a 1 sentence conclusion is good enough. Sure 3 or 4 is better, but if you don’t have time…</p>
<p>DO NOT cut off your last body paragraph 1/2 way thru so you have 5 min for a conclusion.</p>
<p>For Algebra plug in your own numbers.</p>
<p>Since most people already have a good knowledge of everything going into the test, I think it’s just a matter of focus and concentration. Try to find ways to save a couple of minutes on each section and you might get an extra problem right.</p>
<p>Sit next to the smartest kid you know.</p>
<p>Um… They assign you seats…</p>
<p>Oh. I was kidding around, but someone did decide to sit near me. Fat kid copied my answers too. </p>
<p>At my school, they don’t assign seats. Hence why most close-smart friends try to huddle in the back.</p>
