    Yeah, school stuff is pretty much the only thing I can stroke my e-peen in, and I kinda hate doing that, but yeah. Honestly, I didn't prepare the first time I took it, got a 1960, took it again, did some prep work on my own in a book a teacher had made us buy in junior year, and yeah.

    The important thing to remember is that on the grammar sections (I think they call them Writing sections), they love little grammar rules that aren't taught anywhere else. Any prep book worth its salt will ram those down your throat though.

    Other than that, I find it hard to prepare for either the Math or Reading sections. Math you either know or don't, I've always said, but that was my weakest section, so maybe I did it wrong. And Reading will always have different passages than the ones you practice, so it's useless to me.

    Oh, and essays. **** essays. 8/12 both times. Got one question wrong on all the other Writing stuff, but because of the essays I get a 750. *****es.

    Of course, all of this is moot if you don't have other stuff going for you. I only got into 4 of my 6 schools, for example.

    Nice.

    According to my coach, I should get 2100 as my absolute highest, but I should get pretty damn near 800s in both Reading and Writing, just the Essay and Math (630) hold me back.

    Math section was easy. Writing, too. Reading, though, for me is always terrible. I'm not a bad reader, per say, but I like more time to comprehend and some of the questions/answers are pretty ambiguous and I never can separate what I think from what they want to hear.

    I'm awful at math. Even Algebra confuses me.

    This x1000. Reading is a breeze for me, I never miss more than one question. Math is beyond me.
