SAT Now!

Wao..i week just past like that..it was so fast. I just did my homeworks everyday..then sleep! thats all! and now regretting for wasting my time. So now i take back my old concept or theory, "the time you study, study your maximum, the time you wanna play, play maximum"Yeah! that was my secret of peceful live before this. I was shocked this morning cuz i have only 30 more days for my sat exam and i have to improve my CR mark from 510 to 800..wao..easy! Just do it for fun. Seriously i want to do it for fun.



Sat for fun!

Erm erm.. after thinking for too long (4 weeks) i came to a temporary conclusion that Sat is just for fun. I got to know that even if i do average for my Sat for the 1st time and the second time, it doesnt matter because i can go to US in the second year. Thats still a big deal for me eventhough it is not ATU or Ivy league. And our sensai oso told that going to Us itself is a big deal. So, now i have reduced the pressure due to SAT, i can relax.



WAAAAIIIITT. That doesn't mean i give up or i dun wanna study for SAT. I just feel relaxed because this time I really know that SAT is just for fun. Yeah i wanna do it for fun. To check back my past skills and to proove to myself what i can do in this one month. Check whether i am capable of getting high marks or not. Investigate whether i am ready for university lesson or still in spm level. Yeah, thats wat i wanna do in SAT. Juz do for fun and no pressure! Sorry sensai !! if i got less marks! HEHEHE!

SAT words

OH YA! I wanna share something about SAT critical reading. To me SAT words are tough and not so common. It's very difficult to complete critical reading section when we don't understand the meaning of the words. So we have to do EDUCATED GUESS or use our COMMON SENSE. I find this helps a lot in conjecturing the meaning of a word by its prefix. These are some examples of prefix.

1. auto- after or later than that

2. bi- between

3. circum- exactly half/partly

4. co- across/changing/between

5. inter- together/sharing

And the word of the day is CONTROVERSIAL.

Find out the meaning for me =D Thanks
