Thanks for the tips so far guys.

About re-learning algebra/geometry and grammar, as TangyTart mentioned, I think I might have to spend a little bit, atleast a week or two relearning, since its been a while since I have done much Algebra, and even when I was in the class a couple months ago, I wasn’t really dedicated and didn’t pay too much attention. So small things like exponent rules are a bit rusty. As for grammar, when was the last time we learned real grammar rules and such? For me that was middle school. :P



the people that i know who scored in the 220-240 range are naturally smart. . .if you aren’t there now you aren’t going to get there netime soon.



Sorry buddy, I don’t believe in that. Nobody is “naturally smart,” and I firmly believe anyone can get where they want so long as they are dedicated, and use the right mind set and strategies (which is what I am looking for some advice on here, like good books, resources, tactics, etc).

About 218 being 99th percentile, thanks for letting me know. I think it changes yearly though, it would probably go up or down depending on how high the highest 1% score. So just to be on the safe side, maybe aiming for atleast a 230, no less then 225, should put you right there. Aiming high may naturally get you a higher score, then if you aimed lower.
