The Xiggi Method
The legendary (and yet strangely elusive) “Xiggi Method,” is solid SAT advice from a regular College Confidential contributor. There are nearly 1000 comments about “the method” — to give you some idea of the level of status this advice has achieved.
Personally, I don’t agree with everything Xiggi advises (e.g. I’m not sure you have to buy tons of SAT books. I did that; it didn’t work.) But, I’d say that I agree with about 90% of the “Xiggi Method.”
The method also includes a few interesting and unique pieces of advice, such as taking a few practice tests with the answers in front of you so you can study the correct choices. Hummmm…..interesting; I wish I’d tried that.
Bottom Line: I think the 15 page “Xiggi Method“ is well worth taking the time to read.
Doing my best to share everything I learned about the SAT last year (7 SATs in 10 months). Check back for frequent updates to the SAT Resources and SAT Tips pages.

catedrals asked: Isn't there a significant curve on the SAT? I thought it was widely accepted that the curve is higher in the fall, lower in the spring. Or it might be the other way around. Either way, more seniors take it at a certain time, and more SAT-prepped students take it at a certain time, pushing the curves up. And at higher scores, one question is valued at more--missing one question could drop you from a 2400 to a 2360, but only from a 1600 to a 1590. Something like that?
Each test has a slightly different scoring table—that’s true. But the differences aren’t due to...
