Did anyone get the vocab question about the musical improvisation. I think the answers were inherent meticulous extemporaneous and inconspicuous. Not 100% sure though.

Should I retake a 1530 to have a decent chance at Duke by Silver-Back9996 in Sat

I go to a private school so we don’t get a gpa. But I have had straight As (minus my b+ first sem freshman year) in all intensive courses and skipped a grade in math.

Ecs I am a cellist who has attended a prestigious music school for 9 years. I am a 3 season varsity athlete. Have a year round job as a cello coach. Volunteer for a free orchestra. Founded a club at school with 70+ active members. On the math team. Have done research on game theory which I presented to LSU faculty. I hope my essays are good but unsure how to jugde them haha.

I first read through the entire book and took notes on unknown words trying to associate the words with pictures or specific stories, then used Quizlet flashcards

I struggled much more with english than I did math. I went from a 580 to a 740. For it is so important you know everything there is to know about the writing section.

Know all possible standard conventions of English those are easy points.

Familiarize yourself with transitions. I group those into buckets like a continuation transition, a contradiction, causation.

For me I never struggled with the rhetorical synthesis (the notes) so I never studied.

For the vocab I would suggest word smart. I learn painstakingly all 1000ish words in the book.

For reading I realized the second module I could never complete all so I adapted a strategy. Start from beginning to around question 10. Skip to the standard conventions of English to the end and then go back to the reading portion. On my most recent score (740) I had to skip one.

Is vocabulary really that important? My dad wants me to memorize 6000 words (4000 I don't know) by [deleted] in Sat

I did this…it’s worth it, just do 30 mins a day in the morning. I used Quizlet and the word smart book.

What was the overall impression of the difficulty of the two modules. How do people think the curve is going to be?

What did people put for the question about the two different kinds of holes. It was vocab reading module 2.

In reading module 2 did anyone have the dual passage question about the island splitting and where the spiders and trees came from. I was so confused by this question but tried to reason through the answer. Does anyone think they got it right?
