I need to know if someone has an A in O level Maths and A* in English language
CAn that person prepare for SAT without any classes or tuition's ?

 

[solidboy123]

No way, u might score good in maths section ( i had an A star in maths but stil i score 680-710) but critical reading sections require high vocabulary u need atleast to learn 1000 + words to score even 550+ and moreover Vocabulary doesnt does everything u need to practice critical reading sections a lot for even an score of 550+ in critical reading and in writing skillls i guess u can score at a good rate any way best of luck

This guide (in attachment) may help.

Thank u soo much, but if i mark myself in the SAT 1 through Barron's book then my final SAT score will be similar or will it decrease???

 

[Glaedr93]

I don't have Barron's, but I strongly recommend that you only practice using the official tests in Collegeboard's official guide.

 

[solidboy123]

I have a month left so u advice me to buy the SAT official guide and did u prepare only from it

 

[Glaedr93]

The official guide itself is pretty useless; it's the practice tests in the book that are important. So, yes, you should definitely buy it.

Plz help me to mark myself in Writing section. Barron's book says that if u get 39 u get 650 and another book says that if u get 39 and an essay score of 8 then u get 690, and one document i got says that if u get 39 and a score of 8 in essay then u get 610, so i dont know which one is true

 

[Glaedr93]

39 + 8 should be ~620-640 (according to a few official tests)

I got 45 in the actual SAT (46 minus 0.75 for 3 mistakes) plus a 7 in the essay, and I got 670. Cruel, no?

 

[solidboy123]

thats really great i mean how did u get 45 i usually get 37-39

 

[Glaedr93]

I used to get 47-48 in the practice tests lol. All 3 of my mistakes were in sentence correction questions and I hardly ever made any mistakes in those questions in all the practice tests I attempted! Some thing similar happened in Math; I have absolutely no idea how I could've gotten 5 wrong!!

Some more advice:

-Remember to fill the entire two pages for the essay, even if you're writing absolute bullsh*t. The length is VERY important.
-Don't waste time artistically filling in bubbles
-Remember to take refreshments with you! This, I believe, is the main reason for my poor score.

DO u have the SAT official guide in hard copy or soft. Actually i can't get it in softcopy and it will take 2-3 weeks for delievery until then i will hardly a week left so what shall i do??????
