What I hate about the SAT's (who agrees) Options

[JerzDevil]

1)They are too long. 2400? Why not cut it down to like 1400 instead?

2)Why do they have time limits? That's the biggest thing I hate about the SAT's. SAT's require students to do the testing slowly with much concentration in their best efforts to do well and pass. Each section is like 25 minutes. That is too short. Also, the sections are pretty long with long passages and hard questions that require a lot of thinking. The time limit should be like 45 minutes per section.

3)They are pointless. If a student got straight a's with like one B (not saying I did) throughout his whole 4-year high school career, why does the SAT's matter to him and the college he or she's applying to. . Grades are more important and he/she should definetely get into a good college.

^ what'd you get?

I'm doing the practice ones. I can't seem to break 2100. I can get a solid 800 on math, but my reading maxes out at 600. Dam. I haven't taken it for real yet though. My writing score is acceptable I suppose, 700+ is fine for me.

Anyone have tips on how to better my reading score?

At any rate, time shouldn't be an issue. In math, you have more than 1 minute per question. The first 4 or 5 questions can be done in 20 seconds, without a calculator. You do the math.

My friends are getting solid 2100+'s and 2200+'s, and they don't even study that much. I slack too, but meh.

Oh, if it makes you feel any better, SAT 2's are ezpz, much easier than the actual SAT.

You don't need a TI. The most complex thing you will need to do is square root a big number. The right triangles are generally Pythagorean triplets, such as 3-4-5 or 5-12-13 etc. so you're not gonna need sin/cos/tan.
