Plan of attack?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Ok, so I got my results back from the Jan. SAT, and I was a little disappointed.
I got a 1860 composite, 640 Math, 600 CR and 620 W. </p>

<p>So I need to improve all across the board. My goal is to get a 2100. I’m registered for the March SAT and for that SAT I’m hoping for at least a 2000 on that test. I’ll take it in May and June most likely. </p>

<p>What do you think I should do? I was not that disappointed about this score because I literally did not study at all. This also gets my butt moving on studying. For the PSAT, which I got a 196, I studied kind of a good amount, like 2 hours a week for a month before the test.
Now I’m willing to put in 10 hours a week if I have to .</p>

<p>So here is my plan. </p>

<p>I have the practice Blue Book. Untouched. I’m going to do 3 or 4 tests before March 13.
I also plan on studying the answers from the Jan. SAT.</p>

<p>Should I buy this book for math? Grubers seems to be the best, but not sure if this is the right one.

<p>So apparently Rocket Review is the best for CR? It’s hella expensive. Anyone know where I could pick up a cheaper copy?
[Amazon.com:</a> The Rocket Review Revolution: The Ultimate Guide to the New SAT (2006-2007 Edition) (Rocketreview Revolution: The Ultimate Guide to the New SAT) (9780451219466): Adam Robinson: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Review-Revolution-2006-2007-Rocketreview/dp/0451219465/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266104017&sr=8-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Review-Revolution-2006-2007-Rocketreview/dp/0451219465/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266104017&sr=8-1) </p>

<p>Is Grammatix worth getting? That looks kinda expensive too. And I can’t seem to find the website. </p>

<p>I also plan on ordering Direct Hits very soon. </p>

<p>So it looks like I’m set for Math with Grubers, but I need to find a good book for CR and W. my worst two sections. </p>

<p>Any other tips and hints? Maybe I should stick to the ACT. I got a 29 on that on my first try…</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>sounds good to me thats pretty much what I did and it worked out
Dont waste to much time on the books just use the bb and the explanations
if u need more tests get the online course ITS WORTH THE MONEY think of all the money kids waste on tutoring its less then a session
grammatix could b found on line for free pm me
rr i dont no why its so expensive I took it out from my local library I guess I got lucky</p>

<p>I would suggest reading grammatix and rr for grammer and the essay and reading notiairpreps guide to reading and just take the practice tests like twice a week if u can. timed. at once to build resistance so that ur used to sitting for so long
Math I really cant help Im a math person I just took bb tests and an 800 came easy but u gotta learn those grammer rules for writing and direct hits for reading
hope tht helps!</p>
