<p>Hi all, I’m Chris, before I get into my question… let me give you a little history.</p>

<p>After stints of alternative schools, meets with every school counselor, classroom transfers, truancy fines… I couldn’t take it any longer so I dropped out of high school in 2010, my second 9th grade year, due to extreme depression, and social anxiety. During that time I wish I was strong enough to suck it up and finish high school but it’s too late to look back, I have to look forward. Later that year, I did take and pass my GED exam.</p>

<p>Which brings me to today, after two years of constant hesitation, I decided to plunge and register to take my SAT exam on April 6, to show colleges (and myself), that just because I wasn’t strong enough to finish high school, doesn’t mean I’m stupid or worthless… I can pass this test. Which I believe.</p>

<p>But the thing is… I have month to study, and I’m really “dusty” in that department due to the fact I haven’t did any type of school work in 2 years! So, question is, where do I start? What is the most important thing to brush up on? What are the necessary sections to study? Any tips basically.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading, any help is great.</p>

<p>First, start reading good literature or read newspapers like the New York Times during free time. Read it to get value out of it, not to simply prepare for the SAT, because it won’t help in the long-term if you don’t approach it correctly. The best way to pass the SAT with a good score is to have analytically reading skills, so reading “high-class” literature will really help in that regard. Don’t waste too much time on “junk” like vH1.</p>

<p>Second, practice, practice, practice. Buy the blue book. Also, look at silverturle’s guide</p>

<p>Third, don’t worry at all. If you fail, you can take it again.</p>

<p>Maybe give examples of this “good literature” you speak of for the man?</p>

<p>Good literature—Faulkner, Steinbeck, etc…There books have hidden messages, and if they are analyzed, will provide a sound background analytically.</p>

<p>Not only that, but also read magazines like the Economist</p>
