<p>ok i need to get a 2100+</p>
<p>630 reading and writing and 670 math</p>
<p>i went through barrons, Pr 11 practice tests, and the blue book. </p>
<p>Any other good books to use? i hear 6 online practice tests and people HATE non Cb books, so whats the deal? i shouldnt go to barnes and nobles and pick up mcgraw hill or some other book?</p>
<p>i studied for my first test and got 100pts lower than second test in which i did not study for…try relexing…see if that helps</p>
<p>u can use old QAS… dont use non cb’s…</p>
<p>You are doing some of the “right things” by studying SAT related manuals.</p>
<p>I can offer one anecdote that might be revelant to your circumstance. My D scored slightly below 1400 M+V earlier this year. She scored over 1500 on a later administration. In addition to studying, she got a good nights sleep and did a moderate workout just prior to the test. She thinks better oxygenation of her blood helped her perform better.</p>
<p>If you are in the habit of staying up until the “wee hours of the morning”, perhaps until the larger hours of the morning, that will screw your performance. The SAT is long and hard. It is almost as much physical as mental. There are reasons why the Ivies have a lot of smart athletic types.</p>
<p>would going through some of the tests in the blue book help?</p>
<p>i have the same exact score as the OP, cept 10 pts higher in the writing section. I have already gone through the blue book, so would repeating some of them do any good?</p>
<p>seeing that your writing still needs alot of help, you should stick to CB and PR.
Go over all the grammar questions until you can consistently get 800’s.</p>
<p>that’s the only way you will ever master writing.</p>
<p>stop using this site. seriously. forget that this site existed and go study right now. i realized that this site is full of charlatans and fakers and you’re just wasting your time on them.</p>
<p>ouch desi chick :P</p>
<p>^There is some bad advice on here, but I would not say that the whole site is a joke. There truly are a lot of high scorers on here who give invaluable advice. </p>
<p>Anyways, I do not recommend using anything that is not CB. By using real CB tests, you sort of unconsciously learn the patterns of the test. If you went through all of those books, you should be ok, go back through the BB and make sure you understand why you got the ones wrong that you got wrong. This is the best way to improve. Simply taking Practice tests won’t get you anywhere. If you’re truly out of materials, i suggest the Online course. You can also buy old PSATs directly from TCB</p>
<p>my post was supposed to be for desi, not ndguy… looks like you posted while i was typing :P</p>
<p>lol don’t take it so harsh guys. yes this site does offer valuable info but the best way to prepare is to prepare yourselves using the Blue book…it just ****es me off when people think they should retake a 2350…like come on! i’m struggling with a 1900 and these people r worrying bout 2300s</p>
<p>^lol I agree desi. I figure that maybe if I stick around here some of these peoples’ smartness will rub off on me :)</p>
