Ah, SAT…

SAT is in one week’s time on 9 October. There’s no time to waste… :(

After being bedridden for 2 days, it was time to start full engine on SAT during the weekends. Spent Saturday going through Princeton Review’s tips and tricks of tackling SAT, and Sunday doing two practice tests. Scored 2090 and 2120 (out of 2400) respectively for them, but that’s by assuming I get 6/12 for the essay. I must do better than that for the real thing – is 2200 a realistic goal? :|

By the way, coincidentally, for both tests, I scored 790/800 for the Math component and 670/800 for the Writing component (consisting of grammar and essay). I am targeting an 800 for Math – shouldn’t be difficult! :) As for the Writing, I used a low 6/12 essay score, so I’m hoping I can score close to 10 for the real essay, and that would bring the 670 to at least a 700.

The last component – Critical Reading – is the most problematic one. The reading comprehensions are so soo tricky… Scored 630 for first one, and 660 for second one. I’m gonna aim for a 700 too. 800+700+700 would give me a 2200… jiayou jiayou! Shall do more practice tests the next few days! :)
