    This is my junior year of high school and all I can think about is scoring a high score on the SAT (along with my 2 AP classss). I just took the PSAT today and I won’t be getting back results till December. In the meantime I want to create a study plan where I can get in practice every day and take practice tests on the weekends. I have the rest of my junior year to study and I’m aiming for a 1400 at highest. I hope your tips work for me :)

    Hey!! I've got the 2018 edition of the book "The official SAT study guide" but I'll be taking the exam in 2021. So should I have to get the 2019 /2020 edition of the book??

    • @JamieNicholson
      @JamieNicholson  3 роки тому +2

      I used the 2018 version too, and I recently used it to prepare for the September SAT (everyone at my school had to take it). The 2018 version is definitely still useful in 2020. If you have the $15 extra and want to buy the newer book, go for it, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same practice tests in each book. Also, no major changes have been made to the SAT since 2018 so it should be fine.

    • @JamieNicholson
      @JamieNicholson  4 роки тому +5

      I finished the entire test before grading, and that’s what I would recommend. For me, it’s kind of “fun” to grade the tests and see what I got (maybe im just weird), so it kind of motivated me to work hard on them. Also during the actual test, you won’t know immediately which questions you got wrong so it’s good to practice that.

    • @JamieNicholson
      @JamieNicholson  3 роки тому +9

      I had two strategies that helped me a lot with the reading (plus a bonus tip I'll give you at the end). First, the process of elimination. Cross out answers that seem obviously wrong. Usually, you can cross out 1-2 answer choices, which makes the questions a lot less overwhelming. Second, annotate the passages as you read along. Nothing fancy, I would just jot down little summaries of key points in the passage so I had full comprehension and it made the questions easier. Bonus tip: if you have a few months until your test, READ MORE BOOKS. Seriously, I was able to bring up my 730 reading score to a 780 naturally after reading about 25 books in the span of 9 months. It made the reading section a lot more intuitive and natural.

    • @JamieNicholson

      For reading, what helps for me is to take my time reading the passages and annotating summaries or key points I find while reading it. This helps me be able to have a deeper understanding of the material so when I answer the questions I feel like I know the passage better. Another thing that helped me is just generally reading more books and paying attention in English class so I can learn author's craft, style, etc. Good luck on your test!
