The Vocabulary Underachiever Strikes Again
Yes, that's me. The SAT is telling me to boost my vocabulary. I should include more pretentious words that I will not use. *sigh* The things you have to do to take a single standardized test and score high so you can please college admissions (so that they'll take you in).
I took a practice SAT I test and scored a still not good enough 1330. Reminder, I got a 1260 in the real SAT I, and I'm retaking it this December. I WANT a 1400. I NEED a 1400. I got a 700 in Math and a yet again low 630 in English for this practice test. I downloaded the full length practice test from College Board's site by the way.
I'm frustrated and worried even though I know I still have a month to prepare for the test (and only have a week for the SAT II). There's this looming question of whether I can remember 500 words in one month. The thing is I haven't tried yet.
I actually did try to review that 500 word list for the previous SAT and well, it's not just my thing. Sitting down, reading a list of words, and forcing your brain to remember it, otherwise known as memorizing. I just can't find the right technique to remember these words.
*sigh*
That's all I can do for the moment. Sigh.
*sigh*
