I’m using Gurber’s Complete Preparation for the New SAT. It was fully revived and updated for the 2005 SAT. Could I still use it to help me review for the 2008 SAT? It received a lot great reviews!

If I study to SAT just with this big book:
Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL Test.

Can I get a totall score on the english part of SAT, with this TOEFL book?

Hi everyone, I am kinda new to this kinda stuff(For I am a foreign student planning to go to college in the U.S.) so I would like to know some stuff about the SAT, first about the the preparation; I don’t know how to prepare for this, and 2nd, the score I mean how low is a score of 800 and how high is 2400? could someone please help me!

Also, can someone help me to know about SAT(Reasoning/Subject),PSAT,CLEP like differences/advantages, when to take and preparation guidelines for 8th graders

I am planning on taking the SAT this upcoming year. Since it’s summer right now, I am hoping I can prepare for the SAT as much as possible. I have a few questions.

1. What is the BEST SAT prep book?
2. Should I take any online/classroom SAT courses? If so, what is the best class?
3. If I study on my own, what is the best way to study for the SAT daily?

Hey I took the World History AP test about mid May and now I am signed up for the World History SAT II. The thing is I just started taking the test on the REA preparation book for SAT II and it is much much much harder and specific then what I encountered on the AP exam. Is the SAT subject test really more specific then the AP test?

Thanks for answering
to first poster, Yeah I know AP classes really are useless, like it doesn’t help only makes it easier to register for classes. But it sort of looks better for colleges along with a GPA boost.
to 2nd poster:……………………………..
to 3rd poster: Yeah like what the heck is the Velvet Revolution I learned nothing that specific and the AP test multiple choice was nothing like that. I didn’t even bother to score my 1st practice test because I did so badly and knew like crud. Hopefully it will be more AP oriented multiple choice.

I was wondering if "Gruber’s complete SAT guide 2009" is a good book for preparation of the SAT’s. I am aiming to get around 2200. I just took a practice test, (about a day after i got it) and got 1910. I have about 8 months till i actually take the real exam.
So is this book a good way to increase my score to that fabled 2200 or should i make a transition to another book.
Thank you
p.s. If any of you got high scores in the SAT, a few pointers would be welcome.

I just took a practice exam for SAT with no real preparation at all since last summer. (I attended SAT summer school back in sophmore summer and took online class for SAT in junior year summer)
I got 610 on math, 580 on Reading, and 540 on Writing with 8 on the essay.
If I study over the summer and take the test in the fall of 2008(since I am going to be a senior), what are the chances that I would score over 2000?

I took the ACT twice with a 31, but I am going to take it once more with A LOT more preparation. Should I bother taking the SAT? I want to go into a top-tier college and I really don’t mind taking it (my parents may look at me weird though, haha). Would it do me any good or should I just stick with the ACT?
I guess I could take it just to see if I do better.

Or could I use an alternative method and get the same results?

I’m going into my Jr. year of HS September 4 and I haven’t taken the PSAT or SAT, nor have I had any preparation for it. My mom talked to Sylvan Learning Center today about a class they have for SAT prep, but it’s 00 for one month of training? Hmmmmm… I’m PRETTY SURE I won’t have time to go everyday, nor would I want to, so I don’t see how 00 is a reasonable cost being as that I KNOW there are other programs and methods that are cheaper. We have the money, it’s just that, me personally, I would think it’s a waste of my parents money… especially since I already want/need a lot of things to be bought for me this month (my birthdays this month, school starts in September, etc.)

What are some different methods of preparing for it or how did you prepare for it? Books? Classes? What?

And if you did take it, what was your score?

What are some books that enhances your vocabulary in the preparation for the SAT?
My friend suggested this
:Word Power Made Easy the Complete Three Week Vocabulary Builder
Are there anything else?
Thanks!

i just took a practice SAT online and i got a 1990. this is with no preparation (i literally just sat down and took the test) with distractions. is this good? i’m going to be a junior.

i’m taking the PSAT in october, and if i continue practicing every weekend or an hour a day or something starting on september 1, do you think i will be prepared for it? depending on how i do on the PSAT, i’m considering taking a SAT prep class, but im not sure if they’re worth it.

thanks so much in advance!

Dear Duke TIP 7th Grade Talent Search Applicant:

We wish you the very best of luck as you take the SAT in two weeks on Saturday, January 23. On the morning of the test, remember to take the following:

1.Your SAT admission ticket. If you do not have your admission ticket, contact the College Board at 1-866-756-7346 or visit www.collegeboard.com/mysat (enrollee must be 13 to create an account.)
2.Your Duke TIP ID form (the pink 1/2 sheet that came with your test practice booklet. Access a replacement ID form here (.pdf).
3.Two sharpened number 2 pencils.
4.An approved calculator (review SAT’s calculator policy).
5.A snack and drink for breaks to be stored out of sight in your backpack or paper bag.

I have everything except for that admission ticket. Where do you get the ticket. I’ve only realized today that I don’t have the ticket. If anyone can help, please do.

I am Asian Indian and work with another Asian Indian. She is married and has two children. She has per say "a normal life."

I am divorced and my 16 year old daughter has been living with me for the past year.

My focus is primarily my daughter and her schooling and ACT/ SAT test preparation. I try to help her and be there for her.

I feel ashamed about my personal life and don’t talk to her much. We could be friends and would have some things to talk about like Indian movies, concerts, etc.

I feel bad because her life is more busy and fulfilling than mine. I know this from the few times that I have heard her talk about things that she does on the weekends.

I don’t mean to be rude, but I feel bad sometimes about myself and don’t talk to her.

What can I do not to feel this way?

What is the best preparation book for SAT II Biology M? Thanks. What you think about the princeton review for SAT II Biology M? Does it help?

Do you any good preparation book for SAT II subject test? Literature, US History and Math 2.

Should I do science? Biology or Chemistry?

I am currently living in Canada.
I have decent grades (91% average in the first term of 11th grade).
Should I work through all the US preparations (SAT’s) or just go to a Canadian school, a much cheaper and easier process?
Is the prestige of American schools really worth the price and effort?
Maybe I should just finish undergraduate studies here in Canada, then transfer to a prestigious institution?
I need to decide on this soon.
Please provide any advice or useful websites or other information sources. Thank you!

So I want to score at least a 700 on the math section of the SAT, and I have been doing the problems on this one website to prepare, so I was wondering:
Are these problems(below) adequate preparation for me in order for me to score at least a 700?:

I have to take the SAT or the ACT to get into a university in the US. Which one is easier? The SAT or the ACT. How hard is it to score 1200 in the SAT? Are there any preparation classes I can take in the UK?

Or could I use an alternative method and get the same results?

And if you did take it, what was your score?

My ACT score is a 33 currently, and I plan to get it up to a 35, but my SAT score is around a 2100 without any preparation. I want to apply to competitive schools, so would it be beneficial to take both the SAT and ACT (after studying a lot for the SAT) or just take my ACT and leave it at that?

basically, does it make a difference if you send in both scores or not?
thanks!

does anyone know any really good websites with free reviews and preparation for the ACT and SAT testing? thank you!

Is there any way to be prepared for this? Should I think about getting a prep manual for the exam? Are those out there? Is it tough? I’m imagining something like the SAT, especially since there are additional sections because of the field I’m going for. My math is a little rusty, I was thinking about practicing math questions in my GRE prep book.

I just graduated college and am driving 5 hours to take it b/c it is the only exam location that has openings in September. Otherwise I’m stuck waiting until November and I really want to start working sooner than that. So basically I REALLY don’t want to mess this up. Any advice?
