SAT Cramming

<p>How should I go about doing this?</p>

<p>I have a 1760. I need atleast a 2000. I have time to give till December 5th.</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>Take Blue Book practice tests and learn why you missed what you did.</p>

<p>To Wowie,
I’m in the same mess right now. Time is really short as Dec 5 is round the corner.
I’m preparing from the Kaplan at present and its good. I would like to visit this site for more interesting look overs [SAT:</a> Improve SAT Score with SparkNotes: The Seven Deadly Screw-Ups](<a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides)</p>

<p>This is only for the Sentence errors, but it contains Math and CR too.</p>

<p>Best of luck
Cheers.</p>

<p>Thanks, so much! I found my weakness I think. I looked at my score report for math. I missed 9 in the geometry section… I guess I need to study that A LOT. I also am very very bad with grammar…</p>

<p>Thanks a lot though :).</p>

<p>Hopefully I can break 2000!</p>

<p>A lot of people like the link PhoenixR provided. (I’ve never look at it, however; I try to stick only to official materials.)</p>

<p>For additional grammar help, try flipping through the Writing help thread I’ve had going for a little while now; it has quite a few of the challenging questions. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/782128-post-writing-questions-here.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/782128-post-writing-questions-here.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, you can post additional questions you have there, and I’ll try to help you with them.</p>

<p>Silverturtle I just wanted to say you are really nice and helpful all the time! thanks!</p>

<p>Hi, I could have given you a n excellent CD but We stay far apart, so very sorry that I cant help. Get the Sparknotes preparation and u’ll be fine. Further I’ll go on to suggest a book by Walker and Miller (if u have it) for Geometry section and Wren and Martin Grammar for your grammar improvement.</p>

<p>Best of Luck
Cheers.</p>

<p>Thanks guys I’ll look into it! :)</p>

<p>Do BB tests and review the explanations (check the ‘could it be’ thread). Take a fair amount of time going over. Make sure that you know, understand, and can correct your mistakes.</p>

<p>BTW
does this sentence have parallelism issues?
Make sure that you know, understand, and can correct your mistakes.</p>

<p>Yes… I think because its unbalanced on both ends???</p>

<p>Haha I have no idea! See I need to study!</p>

<p>^^Eliminate the “can” and the sentence does not have parallelism :slight_smile: Whallaw! (did i spell that right?)</p>

<p>Anyways. Keep doing BB tests. Also, if you want challenging CR problems, buy the PR 11 practice tests as well as the 10 real SAt’s. And don’t forget about the OC. You’ll manage. I have confidence in you.</p>

<p>OC for cramming? Isn’t it like a 4 month course?</p>

<p>fresh101, it’s “voila.” :)</p>

<p>About that parallelism issue: I think it’s fine as-is.</p>

<p>can you explain how it is parallel? its says, “know, understand, and can correct”, so it doesnt seem to be parallel.</p>

<p>“can” is parallel with “know” and “understand.”</p>

<p>OC is just one pretest and like 9 tests together. You can complete that in a couple of weeks. The hard part is not taking the test, but reviewing it and making sure you understand everything. I find math questions easy to review…same with writing. But CR questions, its always ends up being: 1) I didn’t read it enough or 2) I over interpreted.</p>

<p>Also, when reviewing your tests… make sure you never say something is a “silly” mistake. There are no silly mistakes… you got it wrong didn’t you?</p>

<p>To the OP:
Forgot CR. It takes too much time and energy to review. Sure do a couple passages here and there. If you really want to see a big boost in your score in like 6 days… review math and writing:those are coachable.</p>

<p>^^ i second that.</p>

<p>what is OC?</p>

<p>what is oc??? and op?</p>

<p>Online Course</p>

<p>can" is parallel with “know” and “understand.” </p>

<p>No, “correct” is parallel with “know” and “understand.” Correct is being treated as a verb just as “know” and “understand” are being treated as verbs; therefore, “can” would make the sentence unparallel.</p>
