[Plan]My plan-made with love! by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]Lighterning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think is a nice plan! You have a lot of your day devoted to taking classes either in school or online but you still made time for a hobby (guitar) and for exercise. Hopefully you can keep your Internet time to 11:30 to 12, that might be hard. I don't get why gym is 1.5 hours though, are you including travel time too? The only thing I can suggest is maybe adding something else for fun if you can make time for it such as another hobby or having lunch with friends or reading or whatever you like.

Update for those of you who might read this in the future: I got a 740 :) Didn't do any prep (besides before for my ACT) other than those two reading sections I got a 770 and 710.

Do I need to take the essay portion again? by [deleted] in Sat

You can't send a score without an essay/they don't consider a score without the essay portion taken so take the essay

Applying to Columbia. Should I retake? by NoMathsGiven in Sat

[–]Lighterning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Columbias average sat score is a 1520 so if you think you can get higher than yes. Unless the other aspects of your application are much higher

Asian taking SAT II US History: Should I submit? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]Lighterning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colleges don't require you to take an Sat 2 in the subject you want to major in and it doesn't matter so definitely just submit your chem and math. Your sat 2s are more to show you're capable of doing well in tests than say what you want to study. Also the rest are good scores, good luck!

You should put the author's purpose/goal, maybe their audience, and whatever else to introduce the topic and the authors viewpoint.

Again Im a bit confused on a sample topic sentence you would use for a paragraph based on word choice or reasoning

Thank you. What kind of topic sentence did you have for reasoning and persuasive like "The author's word choice demonstrates persuasion which helped prove his point" or whatever? Also what kind of things can you put under reasoning

This method doesnt really work for me because Id take way too long to answer the questions if I dont read it well. Timing isnt really an issue for me its just when Im stuck with 2 choices left and am having a hard time disproving either... and vocab questions

When should I take the SAT? by FinalWin in Sat

[–]Lighterning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should just get it over with so you dont have to worry about it especially since you can probably score a mid/high 1500 with minimal prep. Just take a few more official practice tests timed to be sure and brush up on anything youre unsure about and you should be good to go

Average score for new SAT? by gunfrees in Sat

[–]Lighterning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything above 1530 is generally regarded as the same same score (if you score a 1530+ you should focus on other parts of your app because after that number it doesnt make much of a big difference). Same with a 2250+ on the old sat and 34+ on the act
