<p>Well i did take a few month to prep SAT 1, but I really only started taking it seriously the last month. I memorized some vocab and looked at roots. The problem I have is time. I can get 750 in CR if I had just another 10 minutes.</p>
<p>So basically i need another strategy for the passages. Right now I read/skim over all of the passages and then answer. except for the short, where I read the questions first. And also the dual i do one passage then the next.</p>
<p>@Gaoez, I guess for Critical Reading, memorize vocabs from the Direct Hits book (which I haven’t purchased),and also do A LOT of practice tests without timing yourself.</p>
<p>that is what I did. did not help. need new strategy.</p>
<p>edit: does SparkNotes cover everything you need to know to get 800 ont he SAY Math 1 and 2? <a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides; could someone who is good at math go through all that in like half a month?</p>
<p>It shouldn’t take you too long,
I did the test Math II right after I finished grade 11 functions (ontario curriculum)…
ended up with 800</p>
<p>For CR, since you don’t have a lot of time, I thin memorizing vocab is a good idea, but generally reading is the best thing. Try reading just one short book by Nabokov, something like Pnin. The vocab in all of his books is incredible. You won’t get it, not even in context, so you’ll have to look up everything, and looking it up leads to learning.</p>
<p>If you haven’t read Catch-22, there’s quite a bit of SAT level vocab used.</p>
<p>Are you losing time on the vocab questions or the passages? If you spend more than about 3-5 minutes on the vocab, you’re going to run into time issues. </p>
<p>As for the passages just skip questions you can’t decide on and save em for the end.</p>
<p>^Losing time on the passages big time. But I never want to skip the questions, because I keep telling myself that if I skip them then I will not remember what they are talking about. This is especially a problem in the sections where there are three or four passages.</p>
