​Make sure you review the math, grammar, reading, and essay writing tips in this blog, as well as in the review book you're using. DEFINITELY do a sample SAT test under timed conditions (that is, only allow yourself the time it says at the beginning of each section), including the essay. You want to practice doing the test under time pressure so you know what problems to focus on last, or skip altogether, on the real SAT. 

You also want to accustom yourself to writing essays quickly, and to polish your format for your introduction and conclusion - e.g., "The author uses literary devices such as [name them], factual evidence such as [name them] and rhetorical devices such as [name them] to make an effective argument for [the author's main point]." Don't forget to mention ethos, pathos, and logos - see my other blog entries for details. 

Don't forget your admission ticket, your calculator (bring spare batteries), several sharpened pencils, a watch, or a snack. Leave your cell phone at home. Make sure you know how to get to the test site using public transit or walking in case you can't get there by car that day, especially if the site is NOT where you attend school. See my earlier blog entries for details, and see the College Board site for details regarding admission tickets, acceptable calculators, identification, and the like. Good luck!

TurboTax up to $15 Off Offer Has Been Extended! Also, Free Income Tax Preparation by Trained Volunteers!

Picture

Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but Intuit is offering up to $15 off (as an "instant rebate") its TurboTax software, which is a little pricey, but it's rated the best by far. I use it all the time for my taxes (and no, I don't get anything for posting that). The offer has been extended through January 21, and you can get it at Costco, Newegg, Best Buy, Target, etc. 

Of course, if you earn less than $54,000 per year (check what the limit is for joint filers or families), you can get free tax assistance from a local organization (e.g., Alameda County Social Services in Alameda County)... Here's a link to the IRS page regarding Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)... also the VITA locator tool... as well as the AARP locator for tax assistance for seniors.
