What should I read for the SAT?

<p>I’m not one to totally center my life around a test, but hey, I realize the SAT is pretty significant. </p>

<p>Still, I’m going about my normal ways 'cause I realize individuality is key. I was reading somewhere that the news is a good place to get ideas for the writing portion of the new SAT. My vocabulary is pretty substantial but…what should I <em>read</em> for the SAT? </p>

<p>I read a lot of random, seemingly undirected things…I pick out books that interest me at the library. Case in point, my new selections, including: Letters from a Peruvian Woman, Zero: A Biography of a Dangerous Idea, and Richard Feynman’s The Pleasure of Finding Things Out. </p>

<p>I’m really trying to diversify my reading. I enjoy reading too, so that doesn’t hurt. </p>

<p>In the Duke TiP program I was allowed to take the ACT in 7th grade and scored a 28 in CR/Writing…so it’s my strength. I’m aiming to score perfectly or near perfectly this time around. </p>

<p>I’ve also read over the classics for my AP Comp exam at the end of the year, or am in the process, rather. I’m attempting to rack up more World Lit alongside American 'cause…it just gets boring, one or the other. </p>

<p>But as far as current events…CNN? New York Times? Worth the hassle at all? </p>

<p>Thank you in advance. :]</p>

<p>Read the news for the writing sections and know historical events, comparing history with current events will definately help for the essay…</p>

<p>As for CR, diverse reading materials work for some people. But I’d say take some practice tests to see where you’re at. If you’re good at analyzing content, I think you’ll be fine.</p>
