(my spelling sucks so if I mispell something please don't quote me and bold it and write some sassy comment! I realize I am a dumbass American)

study etemology's. like major roots and tones. you could study 1,00 SAT level words and odds are only a few would end up on the test. If you learn the roots you can use the context of the sentence plus what the roots mean to come to an answer. The rest is mostly just a skills test. One the writing section though, try to make sure you use facts from history and other works of literature. Anecdotes also work if you can't fins facts to incorporate.

These worked for me. I got a 760 on CR =) . . . but im majoring in comp sci so it doesn't matter and I suck at english. The SAT is more of a test on how to take a test, than a test of knowledge. Watch your time. Also on vocab and those writing correct the sentence things, they get progressivley harder so if time is a concern do like half of the vocab questions which should be guarenteed to be right and then do all the reading sections and come back to do the rest of vocab if time allows.

Anyway, imma try that etymology thing. I found this online etymology dictionary which has thousands of umm..stuff. So yeah, I'll give it a shot.
