1. Send mining, covering more than 200 countries, you can understand
2. Is there a "shortcut" for a high SAT score and a good goal
let's calmly look at the challenges Chinese students are facing:
1. Language problems. For students whose mother tongue is Chinese, their basic language skills in grade 12 are usually equivalent to those of American children in Grade 7. The gap between listening, speaking, reading, writing and academic vocabulary is obvious< 2. Critical thinking training. The domestic ecation system never emphasizes, or even sometimes stifles, the construction of critical thinking ability. Critical thinking ability is the core element in the ability dimension of SAT, and it is the first obstacle for Chinese students to get high SAT scores
3. Academic writing ability. Academic writing is a part of SAT's special section investigation, which focuses on six dimensions. Chinese students have never received any systematic academic writing training before entering university< 4. Cultural background and history. Even Professor Lucy himself admitted that the SAT test is unfair to students from non western countries. Many reading materials involve historical issues and mainstream cultural values, such as "race issues". Chinese students' cognition of these problems is so strange
5. The preparation time is short. The preparation time of Chinese candidates is usually 12 to 18 months. Only a few prospective students and parents will rush to grade 9 or even start preparing for SAT earlier. American students usually prepare for the exam from grade 9. The real questions of sat over the years are also very important for you. I hope you can pay attention to them. Students also need to go to the official website of sat in advance to learn about the registration and cost of sat
these problems seem to be almost insurmountable obstacles“ Where is the shortcut
therefore, the "sat sea test tactics" with bold spirit is a strategy that looks "brave" but is actually "stupid". For those candidates who already have good language, critical thinking, writing ability and cultural background knowledge, a certain amount of practice can greatly improve the test scores; For most Chinese examinees whose foundation is not ideal enough, the tactics of asking questions about the sea are just like wasting their precious time in vain. They use long guns, big knives and salutes to ships. What's the difference between the tragedy of the Boxer Movement a hundred years ago and the tragedy of the Boxer Movement
let's dissect the thinking logic of the test maker hidden behind the 167 questions of sat. Sat examines knowledge (including language, culture, history, values...), ability (critical thinking, academic writing...), strategy (guessing skills, reasoning skills...) from 154 perspectives
examinees should do self-analysis before the test and divide their knowledge, ability and strategy (KSA) dimensions into three parts. Don't waste time on the strong part of yourself; For the part close to the average level, strengthen later; For the weakest part, carefully analyze the possibility of score improvement and the time and quantity needed to learn, and select the dimension that can improve the score most effectively. Build a learning program that suits you
based on this learning plan, set up a certain number of milestone, and periodically test your learning effect with valuable real questions, instead of wasting the real questions in meaningless exercises
on the premise of a solid and stable foundation, a certain number of papers can be considered before the test
this is the real "shortcut" to improve SAT scores
Jenifer, a girl from Luoyang, took only eight months to improve her score from 1040 to 1970, and successfully applied for 30 Brandis. Just eight months changed my life!

1. Reasonable planning, at least half a year in advance to prepare
sat, emphasizing the overall understanding of the article, if only by learning a few skills, brush a few weeks of questions, such as pediatrics preparation is no way to deal with the difficulty of the new SAT test, so self-study sat must put the right attitude, and actively prepare
Graally develop the habit of reading English original bookspay attention to the relevant literature of American political, historical and cultural background. In essence, the best way to improve reading is to read more. If conditions permit, read one original English book every month, which not only can accumulate words, but also cultivate reading ability
3. Forming good logical thinking ability and knowledge application ability
the main source of understanding ability is thinking ability. If you want to solve the problem of reading difficulty from the root, you should also exercise thinking. According to the reading characteristics of SAT, we can set up a reasonable thinking view and emphasize the application ability of words
The charts in sat reading include column chart, pie chart, curve chart and table. When preparing for the exam, we should consciously accumulate the ability to recognize and understand the charts. The best state is to realize the ability of text conversion of charts {rrrrrrr}
extended materials:
the role of SAT scores:
SAT scores, or their equivalent act (American College test) scores, must be provided when applying to most universities in the United States
The college board, the organizer of SAT, pointed out that sat is mainly to examine students' reading and writing skills which are necessary in college. Sat will test students' ability to put what they have learned in school into practice, analyze and solve problems, which is very important in University4. First of all, the real question is always the best resource for preparing for the exam, and it has more reference value in the past three years. You can do the model test one month before the exam. And og, the official guide, is also the most important textbook in the whole process of preparing for the exam. Og not only has the official detailed description of the purpose and content of the examination, but also has three sets of real questions and seven sets of standard papers. In addition, OC is also the official topic of the college board. There are six sets, which are slightly more difficult than the real topic. It is equipped with parsing (A & E of OC). You can use it in the middle and later stages when you need to sprint for high scores. There is also a 12 sets of exercises of Kaplan, which are written after og and equipped with analysis. But the topic is relatively simple, and the test points of each set of questions are concentrated, which is not suitable for the model test. You can use it as a basic teaching material in the early preparation The advantage of SAT comprehensive guidance and simulation test is that it includes the basic vocabulary 3500 of balang, covering the high-frequency vocabulary and hot vocabulary of SAT, which can greatly rece the burden of memorizing words. However, some of the topics in the book are much more difficult than the real ones, and lose the value of model test, so you need to choose carefully The difficulty of the 11 sets of SAT questions is basically consistent with that of the real questions, and the questions are rigorous, with detailed explanation of analysis and scoring method. You can do consolidation exercises with this book after learning og. In addition, when preparing for the exam, reading is one aspect. Good methods and skills are more important. You can go to New Oriental for an intensive class. The teacher's guidance can make us get twice the result with half the effort when reviewing. And there is no doubt that Beijing has the best teachers.
5. Vocabulary
in terms of vocabulary, I have prepared for one year. When I first came to the United States, I recited a sat vocabulary casually, and it would be easier to read the article after reciting it. However, because there are many inaccurate explanations in that vocabulary book, sometimes I feel confused in understanding the article and doing the title. Later, I recited the book again, but the effect was not very good. After that, I used teacher Xu Yi's book "sat high frequency vocabulary complete classification". Mr. Xu's book classifies words hierarchically, and most of them are bilingual, which is the most accurate explanation I have ever seen. I strengthened the memory of some high-frequency words and corrected some wrong or inaccurate memory, thus improving the ability of SAT to read articles and other English articles
vocabulary summary
1. Only in this way can we form a sense of words and save time
2. Recite the most common English definitions of words, because some words are difficult to explain clearly in Chinese<
reading
the improvement of reading needs to start from two aspects:
the first aspect is the cultivation of reading ability. Reading ability needs to be improved by reciting words and reading a lot. The first time I took the PSAT test, I scored 53 in reading because I had just arrived in the United States, the words were weak and the reading speed was slow. Due to the need to read textbooks in the United States, and I memorized some words, my reading ability and scores have been improved to a certain extent< The second aspect is problem-solving skills. In the early stage of preparing for SAT, the emphasis on skills should be weakened, because reading ability is the core of SAT, and it is also an essential ability to learn in the United States. However, reading ability will encounter a bottleneck after improving to a certain extent, sometimes the article and title can be understood, but it will make mistakes. At this time, the cultivation of skills is the key. The online sat og course of era focus ecation has been very helpful to me. I have learned what critical thinking is and how to thoroughly understand the arguments, arguments and argumentation methods of the article. With the real title and og, my score was further improved by 100 points from about 600
reading summary
1. You need to find a suitable method for yourself. Some students may be able to skip the examples in the article, but for me, skimming these examples helps to strengthen the understanding of the sub argument. Similarly, some students may be used to read through the article first and then look at the topic, but I prefer to mark the line number first, then read these questions before reading every two or three natural paragraphs, and do the questions immediately after reading and draw cards. I tried to use other people's methods, but the effect is not good. It may take a long time to find the most suitable method, but once the most suitable method is found, the effect of score raising is very obvious
2. Many students like to read a lot of novels to improve their reading ability, but the main body of sat reading part is the articles with strong objectivity, which are quite different. The latter is more standard in grammar, more sophisticated in vocabulary and clearer in logic. Students who are just beginning to prepare for SAT may as well prepare this kind of articles (at the same time, strengthen the preparation of vocabulary). To read literary works selectively, Shakespeare's plays are not suitable for SAT preparation, because many grammatical phenomena (such as prepositions of objects and verbs, and syntax of imperative sentences) and vocabulary will never appear in sat and college non literary assignments. Other works with too much slang and colloquial expression, such as the adventure of Huckleberry Finn, are also not suitable for SAT preparation. However, the reading I did in American history and physics class helped me a lot (mainly textbooks)< The improvement of composition is a long-term process. When I first came to the United States to study, I thought I wrote a good piece of articles, which were surrounded by many unnatural places by teachers. However, English writing emphasizes the diversity of vocabulary and sentence patterns (but long usage should be avoided). At the same time, some important grammatical details, such as dangling modifier, are also ignored in senior high school English class. Therefore, the improvement of writing also needs to be based on reading a large number of normative English discourse articles, and needs the guidance of people who are familiar with English writing
the regularity of sat writing is strong, so the significance of early preparation for writing high score is inestimable. Preparing some examples and templates can save a lot of time in writing a composition. At that time, Lei Jing, the top teacher of the times focus ecation sat, helped me classify the composition topics, and guided me how to write the beginning, the end, the main paragraph and the preparation of examples. At the same time, a large number of full mark compositions in Xu Yi's "sat Full Score composition Collection - second kill sat composition introction" also provide great help for my writing.

7. Hello, about not understanding these, how to get high scores on sat
1. In the process of preparing for SAT, I have a headache for novels and history articles, which is also the biggest stumbling block for many students to get 1500 points, the most critical problems vocabulary and syntax
2. On the one hand, among the four types of articles examined by sat, the number of new words summarized in science and social science is far less than that summarized in novels and historical articles
3. On the other hand, the sentences in the last two kinds of articles often appear very long sentences, and the syntactic structure is complex, so students need to be able to effectively clarify the logical relationship within the sentence, so as to understand the sentences in the shortest time.

8. Sat is equivalent to the college entrance examination in the United States. It is an examination for 2 million high school students in the United States every year. It is an important reference index to decide the admission and the award of scholarships.
9. Satsubjecttest strongly recommends that you pass the satsubjecttest early. Most people suggested that the Prelim (the first mock exam, if Alevel is the college entrance examination, prelim is similar to a test of a type), after that, I went to the exam because I just reviewed the subjects, but I felt it was unnecessary. There is a two-week break after the prelim test, which can be used to prepare for the SAT Reasoning Test. Of course, when you are not very high after the prelim test (I didn't take the test in October after I was high, the last time in December), and at the end of the year, there is an exam in October, November and December respectively, generally avoiding November, because it is the time for alevel, It's hard to review the SAT. Many ED will not accept the exams in December, so October is the last good time to take the SAT Reasoning Test. If this time is occupied by satsubjecttest, the last available time is in June. It has always been said that the number of students who passed the test that time was very low, so it's better to leave a time at the end of the year. If the SAT Reasoning Test is not ideal, you can take the test again. At this time, we are also in the GP (general paper, similar to English) is also in a relatively mature stage, may test out will be better. For SAT Subject Test, I think the best time is May. Subject test doesn't have much to read. Everyone has to go to school in May, so it's hard to find time to review SAT Reasoning Test. However, subject test takes much less time, so it should be less painful. You may say that alevelsyllabus has not finished in May. It doesn't matter. You can teach yourself what you haven't taught
you can form a StudyGroup, each of you can make a summary of what you haven't learned in a subject, and then find a few sets of questions to practice, which will soon be good. In fact, satsubjecttest is relatively simple, so you don't need to learn so much. Finally, it's utilitarian. Generally speaking, the SAT Reasoning Test scores in October and December are higher. In the eyes of the ad Mission Office, there is basically no difference between satsubjecttest750 and above. But the score of SAT Reasoning Test is much worse and more important This involves the ecational system, but I think if I can, the earlier the SAT Subject Test, the better)
I've never been to 650, so I won't make a fool of myself here. Although I did poorly in the writing test, when I struggled on the 600 score line twice before, I got 710 in the last test, which was a burst of personality. So I think even if English is as bad as I am, maybe writing can do better in the exam. My secret is to make questions, to make questions, to make questions, to make questions crazily. In the end, I gave up critical reading, because I thought it was hopeless, so I did writing crazily and only did writing. About 15 sets have been made. There are several grammar points: 1. Parallel structure, that is, the front and back structures should be the same. 2 The singular and plural of subject and predicate. Third person singular with S. 3 Run on sentence pattern. If there are n conjunctions in a sentence, there must be and can only be n + 1 predicate verbs. Others, I'm sorry, everyone. It's too long. I don't remember it very much. I only remember these kinds. However, we do a lot of questions naturally know. Oh, recommend Princeton Review. It's a systematic introction. It's very good. You can borrow it to have a look. The disadvantage is that there are few questions. As for the questions, there are 8 sets in the book of college board, which is basically enough and can be repeated. However, I would like to remind you not to write directly on the library books. It will be good to be a kind person
preparation before the SAT test
I believe that if the exam day is good, maybe you will play supernormal, so you must take good care of your body. It is suggested to eat more carbohydrates the day before the exam. From the bio point of view, a person's body can store 100g of glycogen as an energy store, so eating more carbohydrates the day before the exam is helpful for energy storage. When I get up in the morning, I usually eat a piece of bread first and then a banana. Bananas contain more simplesugar. Simplesugar absorbs quickly and can be used quickly. But bananas contain too much magnesium, so you can't eat them on an empty stomach. You must eat bread first. And eating too many bananas is not good, you may have diarrhea. Then take a bottle of Milo to drink when you go to break, and eat something to avoid hunger and discomfort. Break eats less. Eating too much will make the blood flow to the digestive system. We need the blood flow to the brain. The brain is the most important. Principle is a supplement to glucose,. It is suggested that people should not drink coffee before the exam if it is not coffee additive. According to research, coffee can rece reaction speed, suppress system activity and make people nervous. These are all enemies of examinations.
