Study plan

<p>It’s my senior year and I plan on taking the SAT one more time before I apply for colleges. My plan is to take it in November and take the ACT in October. I have two Sat books (my dad bought two versions BB for some reason) and one act book, and I would like to use a lot of these resources.</p>

<p>My commitments are band, school, and writing Personal statements and I’m trying create a schedule that will maximize my output in all areas. So how much time should i allocate to test prep and personal statements while scheduling things around band and school? What is a reasonable amount of time needed for the two?</p>

<p>Extra info: I’m applying to four public schools, second draft done, and a couple of private schools, common app started.</p>

<p>Sat=1710 (any speculations on how much I can improve is appreciated)
CR=610
M=670
W=430 (I bombed the essay and writing)</p>

<p>I think I can really improve; my essay was incomplete and after that I felt discouraged while taking the writing.</p>

<p>keep in mind that the essay is a very small part of the writing section. if you get only a 6 out of 12 on the essay you can still get a 700 if you do very very well on the multiple choice questions, so don’t let it discourage you unless you are planning to get that last hundred. so really you should work on the writing multiple choice subsection first. this is all the advice i can give</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve started to work on the writing multiple choice part and I’ve realized it’s not too bad. It’s true what they say, once you notice the type of writing problems tested it becomes easier.</p>
