TO STUDENTS WHO SCORED A 1500 OR HIGHER: I would like to know what exactly you did to prepare for the SAT 1. I would also like to know whether you studied indirectly in any way. For example do you read a lot of books or newspapers?
Thanks.

now 1400 isn't good enough for you? Seriously, though, why make this thread when your other one already has 93 responses?

You're not going to get very far if you just ask people for responses and not do things yourself. Advice? Be mroe active and practice practice practice and supplement with reading advanced stuff and some vocabs There you go your magical 1500+.

1600. I went to a afterschool sat prep course that my school offers the week before the test.

LOL, I'm trying to become popular! Just kidding, I would like to see if I could differentiate between the 2 listings.

Behnood -

Since your previous thread asked for 1400 or *higher*, it should already contain those that are 1500 and higher. Just sort the posts by those in the 1400s and those in the 1500s and look for the differences you seek.

any advice particularly for the math section? math is my weakness

By Firebird12637 (Firebird12637) on Wednesday, September 22, 2004 - 06:30 pm: Edit

for math: practice tests. end of story. particularly on quantitative comparision, those are tricky.

big difference a 1450 and a 1500 makes. *sarcastic*

The first time I took the test, I did extensive preparation with practice books. I got a 1330. After that, I didn't care and didn't practice. I got a 1500. You have to have the basic knowledge from studying, but worrying too much is just going to psych yourself out.

10 reals and simulating actual testing situations.

i really think it is kind of pointless doing alot of reading and studying vocabulary, just practice with 10 reals.
