March 10, 200521 yr So who here is taking the new SAT on Saturday? I'll be taking at JP Taravella High School on Saturday. :cool
March 10, 200521 yr The new SAT's are said to be easier, so why would you be releived? These people are gonna have a easier break. I do well with those kind of tests, its all about vocabulary. And math, of course.
March 10, 200521 yr Author I'm aiming for an 800 in math, 680-720 in writing (6 on the essay) and 590-630 on "critical reading"(verbal.
March 10, 200521 yr I have to sign up for the one either near the summer or the fall. I want to also take the ACT.
March 10, 200521 yr May 7th sounds like a good date. It's a Saturday. Edit: Nope, Mariner won't have this one. I will take one in the Fall then.
March 10, 200521 yr Author How does the new SAT work? 707098[/snapback] Math is the same, but apparently harder. Verbal is now "Critical Reading" and has no analogies Writing has multiple choice and an essay.
March 10, 200521 yr I'm taking it this Saturday. I'm pretty confident that I'll do pretty well on it.
March 11, 200521 yr Author Some tips on the essay: -4 paragraphs, one into, two body, one conclusion. The body paragraphs are examples of whatever the prompt is talking about. One is a current example, the other is an example from history. Relate each paragraph back to the thesis. Have a good opening sentence and use four or five big words. That advice will get you at least at a 4. If you organize it well you are guarenteed a 5, leave grammar/ spelling mistakes at a minimun and you've got a 6.
March 11, 200521 yr I'm taking an AP English Language and Composition Exam in May and that is my #1 concern right now.
March 11, 200521 yr Author I'm taking an AP English Language and Composition Exam in May and that is my #1 concern right now. 707250[/snapback] I was lazy and took honors due to not wanting to do an essay a night. So basically now I get 5 AP's with no work what so ever.

March 11, 200521 yr Bull f-ing crap. I had to get a tutor just to master the Verbal section, and now they are tearing it apart?? I got an 800 on Math, though 1450 total.
