<p>I finished an SAT course offered by my county which was really REALLY stupid. All they did was made the students do problems from the Official SAT Guide… and I dont mean practice problems. I mean they told us to do problems from the tests.
So now, when I am at home, I stare at my SAT book thinking “crap I wasted it!” because everytime I take a practice test, I have already seen the problem before.
What should I do? As suggested by the Xiggi method, I dont want to practice from other prep companies which might be false.
PLZ help</p>
<p>Do not despair. </p>
<p>You took the tests, but that is only a part of the prep. Simply go back, take them again, but spend extra time reviewing ALL your answers (right and wrong.)</p>
<p>Since your scores are NOT relevant, it is OK for you to remember the answers. Actually, if the tests become second nature, that means that you are improving and building your knowledge and test awareness. </p>
<p>Between now and October, you should be able to find a couple of tests to try a last timed and scored test, if you so desire. Look for the Take the SAT booklets and other tests posted on TCB. Also, there is nothing wrong to spend time on the old 10RS. </p>

<p>about that…i was thinking about using that (10RS) for math review but they updated the math section. What do i do?</p>
<p>The changes in the math section only affected a small portion of the test. From the old math test, ETS removed the quantative comparision section (which is greater? A? B? equal? or indetermined?) and from what I hear, added just a handful of Algebra II level questions. The majority of the old math section is still intact, so the math practice tests from 10RS and other “old SAT” sources are still useful as a source of practice problems (though the scores from the section as a whole won’t be relevant because of the changes as well as the more difficult curve). The same is true for the verbal section. Though analogies have been dropped for the new test, the sentence completions and critical readings have stayed the same, so the section is useful as practice material. As for writing, as far as I know, the material test has stayed the same, but the curve has changed, so again, old SATII Writing tests (and old PSAT tests, which are more readily avaliable) are a good source of practice questions, though the final section score will not be an accurate indication of your SAT I writing score,</p>
<p>You should also consider the College Board’s Online Course. It gives you 4 more Official practice tests, along with many other practice questions. Another way you could get an Official test is to try to get hold of the March 2005 tests. You will probably have to borrow the Question and Answer service from a friend, or else pay somehow who took it to order the QAService.</p>
<p>get 10 real sat 1st ed maybe</p>
<p>how much does the online course cost from CB?
also, how much does Grammatix cost?</p>
<p>bumpppppppp</p>
<p>Online course- about $70.00
Grammatix- $50 for hardcopy, $60 online (I’m not sure about this)</p>
<p>I thought the hardcover was free with ebook purchase</p>
<p>Yes, if you email Mike after ordering the e-book, saying you are looking for the CC deal, then you can get the hard copy for free.</p>
<p>I have that too. My district offers classes and we do the Blue BOok. I did’t think I wasted it because I am reviewing my answers and questions over and over again. I will then begin to work out of the red book. Last year they made us do problems from the red book, but I fell asleep instead of work, so its all good.</p>
