<p>I’m a Canadian student (Grade 10/Sophomore) hoping to be accepted to Johns Hopkins university and eventually become an oncologist. Of course, this means I’ll have to take the SAT’s.</p>
<p>Although it is sad, NO COUNSELLOR in my school seems to have any knowledge about the SAT’s except for the basics: date of the test, price, how many times, etc. No tips, no books, nada.</p>
<p>So anyways, I have a senior friend that went to Babson this year and I received all of her SAT books. This is what I have so far:</p>
<p>Blue Book (Edition 2)
Arco: SAT Subject Test: Math Levels 1 and 2
Kaplan: SAT Subject Test: Mathematics Level 2
The Princeton Review: SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests (2005-2006)
McGrawHill SAT Subject Test Math Level 2
The Princeton Review: SAT Math 1 and 2 Subject Tests (2009-2010)
Barron’s: SAT Subject Test Math Level 2</p>
<p>Basically, except for the blue book they’re all math books. Being in Grade 10 though, I don’t know if I’ll be able to solve half of these books which is why I’m here to ask the following:</p>
<p>1) Should I get the other Blue Book as well? And if edition 3 does come out, should I get it? Is it worth it?
2) Are there any books on this list in which I SHOULD NOT study from (I probably sound ridiculous lol but hey just in case)
3) What are some other books I should get? And by other books, I mean both for the writing/critical reading/math</p>
<p>Some books I was thinking of getting were Wordly Wise and this rumored ‘Black Book’. Other than those two, however, I’m completely lost. How should I prepare for Math? Will taking AP Calculus make the SAT math any easier? (I’m required to take AP Calc because I took Math 9 instead of Math 8 in Gr.8). And for critical reading/writing how can I prepare? My grammar and punctuation are pretty awful right now but believe it or not I do write books–it’s been a dream to publish one since Gr.4 when my mom introduced me to these creative writing courses but I can’t help but feel that my spelling and grammar are still pretty horrible.</p>
<p>And I was looking at section 6 for the CollegeBoard book and in the types of question where you circle A, B, C, D, or E, I keep on getting it wrong. It’s the type of question where they have one sentence and there’s an error underlined in A, B, C, or D or no error. I keep on getting those wrong–any idea why? What are some things that can help me improve this?</p>
<p>I’m not the brightest Asian in the world, but I do love learning and trying my best! So any tips would be highly appreciated!
Thanks yall <3
