14 and a half days. How's everyone's prep? Take solace in the fact mine is 10x worse than everyone else's. (Well not really, but I have barely done anywhere near a decent amount of vocabulary).

I seriously don't remember when I attempted the last diagnostic. *sigh*
So yeah your prep is not the worst.

 

[funky brat]

It's time we make this thread active. :'c Let's post questions over here the way we used to once, just being very serious this time. And it is like a humble request to not post any stuff even remotely irrelevant to SAT I please because this is very distracting.
I'll post these for starters.
How many positive integers less than 3000 are multiples of 13 and are equal to 3 times an even integer?
In the anticipatory hush of the dark theatre, we could hear the rustling of the costumes as the dancers took their place.

I have done 4 only. IN TOTAL. 3 of them this week though.

Wow. So what's your average score?

I'm so excited!:

For the writing section question, the answer is D.

Explain please.

 

[Awesome12]

Explain please.

"Dancers" is plural. Therefore, "Places" will also be plural.

Its kinda like:

"The students took their seats". and not "The students took their seat". Not all of the students will take a single seat, but rather each student will take his own seat. This is the same as for the dancers.

 

[MarcoReus]

Wow. So what's your average score?

The CB ones, 2100 something. Maths and CR go magic, Writing goes tragic.
Barron went worse.

And you're crying because...??

Barron is like the hardest so ._.

 

[MarcoReus]

And you're crying because...??

Because I have barely practiced, barely learned 50 new words, flunking horribly at grammar. I also haven't yet done an essay. And yeah, just as I was picking up steam, I have an infection. Upper right lip, meh. It's pretty swollen. And it brings a headache with it as well. So yeah, scene gone bad.

 

[MarcoReus]

2 1 0 0 Something ?

-_-

Your previous statements:

3 from CB, 1 from Barrons. Barron's went really, really awful. CB ones ranged from 2050-2200 (ranges hoti hain na). Mostly depended on the amount of tukkas I got right in Writing.

I have done some from Princeton Review but they were too easy to even consider as effective practice.

Who cares? As long as you get 2100 something, none of that matters.

IN THESE TESTS. I am pretty sure that won't translate to the real thing. And my timing was around 2 mins before deadline (eg. I ended it on 23 out of 25 minutes)

You freaking kidding me? -_-
time say pahlay kar k 2100 lay raha hai manhoos and crying like somebody died

My face died.
You people are kidding yourselves, 2100 isn't that difficult. Maths is 800, easily. We know the answer to EVERY question. I do get lucky that I get a wrong answer but then see it from a different perspective and get it right. I don't know how much that will remain the case the more I practice.

CR has got better after alot of effort.

Writing mein I haven't reached 650, let alone 700. (Aik dafa maximum range 600+ hogayi thi )

Then start doing it. It's elementary Maths. I could have got 800 in it even if I was in 8th grade. No difficult concept, all questions that can be done without a calculator. You just need to look at it analytically and struggle at times.

Here's an example, suppose you find this question (found in a website, don't have the link now):

4^999 + 4^998
---------------------- = 4^x
_____5______

Find x. (TRY IT BEFORE SCROLLING DOWN) (BTW, the "-------" is the line we use to seperate numerator and denominator while "____" is there for fun, ignore it)

Now if you are great in Maths, you might see how this is done. Here's the MATHEMATICAL way of doing it:

4^998 (4 + 1)
-------------------
_____5_____

Since 4+1 = 5, it's 4^998 x 5 divided by 5, cancel the fives and you can 4^998 = 4^x, so x = 998.

However, you might be awful in Maths and looking at this question you make a face like this guy right here.

You could either give up or you could STRUGGLE and plug in and find a way around this. Here's what you might have done if you made a long face looking at this (I don't think you did though):

You might have toned this down to slightly easier numbers, which are:

4^2 + 4^1
-------------- =======> This amounts to 20 / 5, answer is 4. 4^1(4) = Ans = 4^x. So the number on the right is the answer, and thus the answer is x = 998.
___5____

You could do this again.

4^3 + 4^2
-------------- =======> This amounts to 80 / 5, answer is 16. 4^2(16) = Ans = 4^x. So the number on the right is the answer, and thus the answer is x = 998.
___5____

CONCLUSION: Now if you struggled like this when the going gets tough, congratulations. You know how to get it done. However, don't flatter yourself. You're still shit in Maths. Get better. If you didn't, stop being an incompetent spoiled brat and try to struggle here for once. You're shit in Maths and you don't know how to work around that. You need work. If you did it with the mathematical way, congratulations. You are good in Maths. However, you still could encounter questions when the going gets tough, and that might cause problems. Do as many questions as you can to see if it does go tough for you, and how do you react?
