I lust a 2300 score

Yes, I got above a 2300. I personally got a private tutor from a test-prep giant, and took no official CB tests as practice. I don’t even own the BB.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out that there are many ways to study for the SAT. Memorizing 3500 is not one of them, mind you. Try taking some tests from the BB, and see how you do. Find what question TYPES you had problems with, and then go back and study the relevant sections in every guide book. If you ever have a problem with a word, simply look it up.

Finally, a tad of personal advice about reading comp., the section with which I had the most trouble: There is a sense of awareness that helps. It’s like test nirvana. You know when you reach it, but it’s intangible unless you are fully in the state. It’s when you’re able to do more than just know which answers are incorrect. You know why. Not why, specifically, like in the passage, but WHY. Why ETS put the incorrect answer in there. “Oh, this one is too narrow.” “Oh, this one is too broad.” At first, I simply said those specifically about the answer choices and the passage. But then I learned to see underneath the surface. It was a mystical experience.

Anyway…
