<p>I’ve just purchased the blue book and have a vocab book coming later.</p>
<p>So I plan to take the SAT this June and in the coming fall for October which will be my last chance to take it.</p>
<p>To approach studying should I take the first practice test in the blue book, score my self, and then check to see what I screwed up? Then repeat this every sunday until the week of the exam?</p>
<p>Also is the English on the SAT considered to be about the same level as the English on the ACT?</p>
<p>Last thing is for the math, on the SAT they basically use the same type of question on each test dealing with the same concept over and over. So if I relearn every concept that is used on each SAT Math it will become very simple?</p>
<p>I found the ACT grammar harder when I took my sample ACT Test (this may be because I was just so used to SAT grammar, so I wouldn’t go 100% on my experience).</p>
<p>As for the Math, I suppose so.</p>
<p>As for the studying, yes, just do the BB, see where you got questions wrong, learn how to lessen those mistakes. Actively learn from your errors.</p>
<p>Generally basic number theory, basic probability / statistics (nothing that can’t be intuited IMO), algebra (I & II), geometry, and some basic trigonometry. </p>
<p>SAT CR is generally considered pretty difficult, but I found that taking the SAT II English Literature prior to taking the SAT I Reasoning made the SAT I CR feel like a joke, especially since I prepped for the English Lit test using Barron’s.</p>
<p>As for Writing, just learn your grammar rules. Trying to intuit your way through writing generally dooms you since we’ve all become used to speaking English a certain way that violates a number of grammatical rules (especially subjunctive tense, subject-verb agreement, and adverb vs. adjective off the top of my head). And learn how to game the essay, since it doesn’t really test one’s ability to effectively argue a thesis IMO.</p>
<p>For me, i understand the concept of the SAT Math section, it is easy to study concept, but when i took my test for the first time, i got 610 because their questions are tricky sometimes on purpose and can be misread easily. so I use the “5 SAT Math Practice Test” by Paul Simpson. it help a lot because the next time i took the test, i got an 730 on the math section.</p>
