OK, I'm really confused. I've got the books and everything but exactly how are we supposed to study for the SATs if each test is different and has different material in it? Are we just supposed to go over the books again and again?

Anyone know any tricks, tips or whatever to help me out here cause I'm sorta overwhelmed.

Thanks!

Well, for the Math Section, just keep doing math problems that are similar to those found on the SAT. These problems can be found in most SAT prep books. By doing these, you can further understand the concepts and make less stupid mistakes.

As for verbal, memorize vocabulary words from Barrons, Kaplans, or Grubers vocab list. Practicing problems help less so then a strong vocabulary and a reading habit. So read more.

easy..go to the library and sit there for about 3 hours a day ( anymore gets real boring ) and for math...just buy 10 real sat book. and do every math problem in there...

for verbal...i find memorizing words to be useless unless u are gona memorize 2000 words..so try getting the feel of reading comprehension to make up for it.

exactly dts.. if you can consistenly peform near flawless on the CR you have far greater room for error on the other 2 parts. Plus since most people take the sat 3 times, you are bound to luck out and have one where it tests vocab fimilar to you
