<p>No, it means “embrace” in a physical way.</p>

<p>Look up ‘comprehendo’.
Look at last meaning.
Look up ‘apprehend’.</p>
<p>Have a good night… or, morning, rather.</p>
<p>apprehend: to take into custody; arrest by legal warrant or authority: The police apprehended the burglars.</p>

<p>… So, there’s a very intriguing secret among the speakers of the English language, and I’m going to let you in on it. Now, I’ll go very slowly so you can grasp it to the fullest. Are you ready?
Here it comes…
A word…
can…
have…
more…
than…
one…
meaning…</p>
<p>In the Latin-English dictionary, the full #3 definition was, “to gather together, apprehend.” That makes sense if you take it to mean that some people were gathered together and seized. “To gather together” and “apprehend” work as synonyms in the definition.</p>
<p>This is all made pointless by the fact that the OP said him/herself, “Yes, “No comprendo” means “I don’t understand”.” He/she was indirectly admitting the SPANISH typo from before.</p>
<p>Re-read the whole thread, Feed. Read carefully. And bow down to my superior intellect.</p>
<p>“indirectly admitting”</p>
<p>Interesting use of words panic. Exactly how ‘‘indirectly’’? Perhaps you miscomprehended “indirectly”, I was evidently refering to the Latin language.
Good try though.</p>
<p>To gather can mean to understand… [gather</a> - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary](<a href=“http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gather]gather”>Gather Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster) </p>
<h1>6.</h1>
<p>BTW, just look at #2 on the Latin dictionary again… it says: comprehendo : to grasp, take together, unite /comprehend.</p>
<p>No comprehendo DOES mean I don’t understand in Latin. (Here’s a hint… **no<a href=“not”>/b</a> comprehendo (comprehend)).
He/she wasn’t admitting anything; in fact, he/she was trying to explain to you what he/she was saying since you didn’t understand it. (Which you still seem incapable of doing at the moment).</p>
<p>Anyway, the fact that you’re saying ‘bow down blah blah’ shows you’ve accepted that I’m right… (hence you’ve ran out of things to say)… so I’m out.
Au revoir! :p</p>
<p>Spanish, not Latin.</p>
<p>Back on topic:</p>
<p>CCstudent12, I would suggest that you start off by buying some SAT study guides. I understand that Rocket Review is a good book to start off with. Buy the Official SAT Study guide for practice papers and practice regularly. I’d say if you can study for 1-2 hours every day over the summer, you could see a significant improvement. It’s not too difficult to improve from 400-600 once you’ve grasped the subjects. It’s getting over the 2000 boundary that’s the hard bit, and with your ambitious target of 2300 (which is most certainly possible) it will take a LOT of hard work.</p>
<p>Good luck with your work :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ok, Sophomore to Sophomore, here’s the scoop:</p>
<p>(PSAT math is easier than SAT math, so for the sake of argument, I’m going to call your 56(0) a 51(0).)</p>
<p>You have a 1300 right now, which is about average for a Sophomore. (1500 is the average of SAT scores). On the one hand, you’ve got a year and half to study, but on the other hand, an increase of 1000 points is incredibly unlikely. A 500 point increase is considered phenomenal. Also, increases get progressively more difficult as your score improves–1300 to 1800 is about a gillion times easier than 1800 to 2300. </p>
<p>Your goal is not impossible, but if you wait much longer it will be. So, basically, get studying! You said, and many people say, that there’s no time to study during the school year. But, let’s face it, we both know that’s a load of crap. School ends at 2-3pm, you go to sleep at 10pm-12am. There’s no way in hell that your 7-10 hours daily hours of potential studying time are completely occupied. There are tons of threads about which prep books to use, how to study, et cetera. </p>
<p>The most important thing to do, though, is to right away start reading regularly. Read 20 minutes, 40 minutes, an hour, whatever, every day. Vary fiction and nonfiction and don’t neglect it.</p>
<p>Wow, Godfatherbob you just verbally attacked me with a nervous breakdown.
You are seriously the “In your face” type of person, and I commend you for that. I will get to studying now, thank you again. Oh, and I will definitely acknowledge you after I start scoring consistent 2300’s.</p>
<p>Looking forward to it :)</p>
<p>Don’t forget me.</p>
<p>Sci-Fry, it’s panic’s goal to engage people in conversation and then insult them… so, best thing to do: Not talk.
Btw, you have great English skills for an international student (unless English was your first language? What kind of international student are you exactly?)</p>
<p>@CC - Godfatherbob’s advice hit the nail. I immediately started studying for the SAT after my hopeless 159 on the PSAT 2006, and I’ve brought that up to a 2000+ on my SAT(s) 2008. You need to make a timetable/schedule for yourself (a realistic one) and FOLLOW it. That’s what I did… (I started with the CollegeBoard Book). Read 1 chapter of Reading, 1/2 Math rules, 1 Writing rule everday. Take 1 section of CR, Math, and W everday. (This would be about 2 hours work…). And learn 10 new words everyday. By ‘learn’ I just don’t mean ‘cram’… I mean KNOW the words. After you learn them, USE them in sentences, in English class, etc. If it helps, you can also learn root words … these really help with words you don’t know on the SAT. (This takes about 15/20 mins). </p>
<p>Even if you don’t want to do this from 3-10 blah… wake up everyday till midnight for that 2300+ goal. I doubt teenagers go to sleep at 10… that’s a bunch of bollox. I can never go to sleep at 10.
Plus I’m sure your parents won’t argue with you if you told them WHY you were staying awake. Anyway, studying late at night is kind of harder than studying in the evening. So, suit yourself.</p>
<p>So, basically you have to set aside at least 2.5 hours for SAT study. EVERYDAY.
If you want to do more than this, by all means… Go for it!</p>
<p>After about 1-2 months of studying, you should start taking practice tests once a week (on Saturday/Friday)… and go over it on Sunday.</p>
<p>If you don’t understand some of the grammar rules/passages/vocab/math rules (and it’s okay to not understand), you can always come on CC or you can go ask your teachers. Never hesitate to ask your Math Teacher/English teacher for SAT stuff. They know their students are going through that whole phase right now and they’d LOVE to help you. Trust me, my Math Teacher stayed after a whole 30 minutes to do SAT Math Practice with me. :)</p>
<p>Good luck! And keep us updated.</p>
<p>I abhor myself for being apathetic. Feed, your consistent invaluable advice overwhelms me with options. Although CC may alleviate my concerns, its merely temporary, like a stimulant. Overcoming the adversity of study sessions mentally, psychologically agonizes my brain. I can lament in my corner, cry with desperation, but I will never be who I want to be without psychologically testing my brain to its limits.</p>
