In fact, the arrangement of preparing for the math part is very simple. Basically, all the exam knowledge points are clarified in the early stage, and then the model exam is conducted regularly to maintain familiarity and speed. It should be noted that students who have been engaged in Chinese teaching and studying in China must be familiar with the English expressions of commonly used mathematical nouns and terms in advance! In many cases, the stem of SAT mathematics contains a lot of information, so it is long and contains many technical terms.
Pay attention to the following points: ① Prepare in advance. Some students may despise the difficulty of mathematics, so they will start preparing questions one or two weeks before the exam. This is definitely not a wise decision. I suggest you make a perfect review plan according to your math level and personal situation, and incorporate SAT mathematics into the whole review plan for long-term review. Students who are not familiar with English mathematical terms, in particular, should start memorizing related words in advance and consolidate and strengthen them with examples.
(2) The usual model test. You know, reading and grammar before the math part will consume a lot of our attention and energy, so every time I do math, I feel that my brain won't turn, I'm tired, and I want to empty myself, which is why the most common mistake in the math part is carelessness. Therefore, it is very important to have a complete model test and exercise our tenacity in doing problems. If we can keep calm and focus on the problem from beginning to end, I believe we are not far from full marks. In addition, we also need to be familiar with the use of the calculator in the case of model testing, otherwise it is very easy to press the wrong calculator at a critical moment.
(3) Don't covet speed. You may be afraid of reading and grammar, and often try to finish each problem very quickly in the math stage, and come back and check it when you have time. However, although the math part seems to have a relatively loose time, it is difficult to have a chance to do it again. So, I think it's still fast. On the basis of being able to finish the questions within the specified time, I will try my best to go through every question. Don't be ambiguous, choose an answer first. Of course, this problem-solving strategy can be practiced in the usual model exam, so that you can better grasp the rhythm of mathematical problem-solving.
Basically, by sorting out the wrong questions and making long-term plans, we should avoid problems such as unclear reading, misunderstanding and carelessness, or we should have confidence in the math part.
SAT grammar part:
The fundamental principle of preparing for the SAT is to lay a solid foundation and practice basic skills in order to carry out further difficult challenges. Especially for the grammar part of SAT, a certain vocabulary and grammar foundation are extremely necessary. Mastering words and grammar can not only ensure students to understand the topic, but also improve the speed of doing it.
The first is words, which are the basis of all English tests. The SAT test, including the SAT grammar part, requires a large number of words, which are both high in quantity and difficulty. The requirement for SAT candidates is basically about 15000 words. Candidates from China, in particular, must lay a solid foundation in vocabulary and maintain their sensitivity to vocabulary.
Memorizing words is a big project. Xiaole talks about two methods here: one is to read vocabulary books frequently and repeatedly. Although the SAT has a large amount of vocabulary investigation, its requirements are not high, and it is suitable for using the shortest memory method to cope with the exam. Choose a good word order vocabulary book, read English words and Chinese definitions quickly, pay a little attention to pronunciation, and focus on establishing the relationship between words and definitions. More specifically: remember each word for 6 seconds, mark it if you still feel unskilled, and pay attention when reviewing afterwards. Memorize about 200 words every day, and you can review them at high frequency according to the forgetting curve.
Method 2: put the memory time of words in the daily fragmentation time and extracurricular reading. This is a natural way to increase your vocabulary. Without pressure, you will have an excellent sense of accomplishment when you meet good words. Then through the query of the word book, we can understand the ambiguity and strange meaning of new words and learn more new words.
Then there is SAT grammar, which everyone must have learned, but to learn grammar well, you have to review it many times to better consolidate your grammar knowledge. The most basic subjects, predicates, objects, attributive complements, various clauses and so on are not difficult. In a word, basic grammar knowledge is far from enough to cope with SAT grammar. To understand the topic of SAT grammar, students must be familiar with advanced English grammar, such as how to distinguish adverbials and attributives in long sentences, or how to use subjunctive mood correctly. If the grammar foundation is not solid enough, students must find one or two books that explain grammar, review and sort out more, do more grammar questions, and check for leaks.
SAT reading section:
Long-term preparation for SAT reading: First of all, when preparing for SAT reading for a long time, because you have a lot of time, you should not only spend a long time reciting a lot of SAT reading vocabulary, but also read more original English books. Vocabulary is of course extremely important, but vocabulary alone is not enough. There may be blind spots in your knowledge in the four types of articles you read. It is very useful for SAT to know more about American history and cultural background. Reading the original document is also one of the ways to accumulate words.
Therefore, it is suggested that students should pay attention to reading accumulation at ordinary times, and start with novels of interest, such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Animal Farm and so on. When the reading volume reaches a certain level, SAT reading will be handy.
Short-term preparation for SAT reading: after storing enough SAT reading vocabulary and accumulating a large amount of English reading, you only need to do OG and real questions over the years and master routines skillfully. Prepare for the exam in a short time, time is the most precious. At this time, the study arrangement plan must not be relaxed, and the time should be used in the part that can best improve the score. At this time, it is necessary to do detailed simulation exercises with real questions, and fully grasp the intention and answering methods of the exam. SAT reading pays more attention to students' overall grasp of article structure, article analysis ability and evidence-based ability than TOEFL reading, so students should pay attention to cultivating rigorous thinking logic when preparing for reading. After the thinking logic is improved, the efficiency of doing problems will be improved, but the higher the accuracy, the higher the score.
