SAT guidence and help needed

[Waleed007]

There is no need to Lol; you were not clear about anything.

Don't take the SAT. Just practice from SAT-I books when you are preparing for your BBA (and the likes) entry tests.

Good luck.

Thanks.

That's just for IBA. If you score above 1900, you are exempted from its entry test.

Nibz, other than the Official SAT Study Guide, which book do you suggest for building up vocabulary for the test? Other than of course novels and magazines.
AbbbbY suggested me Princeton Review's Word Smart 1, should I use that?

No. That's an outdated book. Hardly any vocabulary word comes from it.
Since you have more than one year to take the test, I would advise you to memorize Barron's 3500 word list. That should be enough for vocabulary.

Okay.
You advised me to take the test this year, for practice. So, I might take it this year.
Okay, I'll go through the list and memorize what I don't know.
Thank you!

Really? Even the Jun 2012 edition?

Interesting. I don't have time for Barrons 3500. (Oct 13'). I have yet to start the vocab banks, although my vocab is sub-decent (but not enough to guarantee a 2000+)
What book/lists would you suggest, considering I'll have roughly 2 months. (basically Aug + Sept)

You will forget these words after some time. So, there is no use of learning all these words now. You can, however, learn every new word you come across, but your main focus should be on other sections, the ones that need time for improvement. Passage reading for you, perhaps.

Also, take the test in January (2014, the practice one). And again, in October (2014, the real one).

Yes.

Go for Direct Hits Core Vocabulary for SAT (both volumes). The best books for SAT vocabulary. And very concise, too.

I'm not going to memorize them as such. I'm going to go through them and try to get a grab of all the 'new' words. Okay, I think I'll need to go through the Study Guide and practice tests to develop an understanding about the test.

January? Okay. Thank you.

SAT is a generalized exam that has nothing to do with a school.

Have a few questions regarding the SAT online registration:
1. I'm currently in AS so what should be my 'High school graduation date"' and 'expected graduation date'?
2. Are all those questions regarding extracurriculars, college majors etc really imp? I mean will they by any way affect registration?
3. How long will the SAT scores remain valid?
