7/28 SAT WORK

..well it was actually finished on 7/29 because i was really tired in the middle of the lesson so i decided to finish the rest of it the next morning (aka right now)

I finished "DAY3 in "7 Days to a Better SAT Score" and the lesson was on Critical Reading

TIME : About an 1 & 1/2 hour? (broken up between one night and one morning"

TOPIC: Critical Reading ( Long and Short Passages"

SCORES: 

- Three Sentence Completion Exercises *13 pts(out of 20)* which classifies me in the 6-14 points range; "You definitely ________ work on completing your______

-Three Short Passages Exercises*7 pts (out of 8)* which classifies me in the 6-8 points range; "Master of the Short Reading Passage"

-Three Long Reading Passages Exercises*20 pts (out of 23) which classifies me in the 16-23 points range; "Mater of the Long Reading Passage"

I thought the long and short passages were really really really easy and i don't think those were realistic passages cause i normally can't hold my attention to them cause of their boring themes and the complex vocab..

7/28 SAT WORK

Okay... so i started "Cliffs Math Review for Standardized Tests" yesterday and i did 1-64 yesterday aswell..

Today finished pages 65 to 96 & it took me quite along time ( 9:25- 10:57 pm) 

it was pretty dense but since the topic was on arithmetic it was easy because i knew everything.

the only thing i struggled on partially was probability cause i never really grasped the concept in the first place

but the book explained everything to me.. it's just a matter of remembering everything now

I also took a 100 question arithmetic test and it was facile but just long

that was what consumed most of my time 

& the fact that i was giving into a distraction by my cat

& also the music playing in the background..

we went over alot of exponents and easy crap, nothing big except proability.

I scored 95 out of 109 which is like 88% but i got 5 wrong on like stupid "naming the property" crap..

Now i have to go do the "7 Days to a Better SAT Score (DAY 3)
