I also have a list given to me by a college bound program I attended. I'll name several (it has more than 20):\n\nAnimal Farm, George Orwell\nBrave New World, Aldous Huxley\nFahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury\nLord of the Flies, William Golding\nGreat Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald\nScarlet Letter, Nathaniel Harthorne\nSiddhartha, Herman Hesse\nTo Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee\nPride and Prejudice, Jane Austen\n\nI also provided a link in sources where there are many others. Enjoy :]

I really recommend the official SAT book released by collegeboard. I think there are 8 tests there and they're all very similar to the actual test. \n\nIf critical reading is what you're not great at, try and pinpoint exactly where it is that you keep losing marks. Is it the passage? The vocabulary section? Then read the official SAT book. In the meantime build up your vocabulary by browsing sites that have prepared SAT vocabulary words that are most likely to come out. \n\nIt is VERY possible to raise your scores, if you really take the time to do so.

My guess is that it isn't as easy as it looks for them.  Even the very brightest kids, who don't have to work as hard at the academics, probably have to work harder at the other stuff.\n\nSuggest you read "...Habits of Highly Successful Teens" ... Covey is the author?  Anyway, it's a good "life lessons" book. Make sure you have a planner/calendar and mark in committments, deadlines, tests, homework.  Develop a file system where you can keep things organized so you don't spend your time looking for things.\n\nGood idea to switch to APs if you can handle them. Keep your eye on the academics...ask for help if you feel you need it (from teachers, other students.) Always do your homework. Study hard.  DON'T CHEAT. Read for pleasure at least a few minutes everyday. It'll help your vocabulary and give you some quiet time to yourself.\n\nPerhaps narrow down extracurricular activities to the 2-4 things you really have a passion about. Colleges are more interested in those, anyway, vs. you being involved in SO many things that it's really impossible for you to be passionate about any of them.\n\nMake sure you get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast, to give you energy during the day. DO NOT DRINK OR DO DRUGS. That will sap you energy and ability to concentrate/focus. Try to minimize junk food, particularly soda, which are basically empty calories.\n\nPlay sports as one of your extracurriculars to stay in shape, and/or add some light exercise to help with that.  Walk if you can, vs. drive. Take the stairs vs. elevator when you can.\n\nTry to minimize your IM, phone, computer and tv time.  Meaning, just keep it in check, don't let it interfere with your other, higher priority things.\n\nOf course, this doesn't mean you shouldn't stay close with your friends.  They are a great support system and good for you in so many ways... and some of them will still be friends with you 30 years from now!\n\nShoot for getting into the best possible college you can, and work hard once you're there, too.  Enjoy yourself, but work hard.\n\nAs I say, it probably isn't as easy as it seems for others around you. They probably feel as insecure as you do.  Be yourself, hang in there, try to improve but don't expect perfection.  You're moving in the right direction, just keep going, working on things little by little.\n\nGood luck.

Start by pre-studying any courses you know you will be taking.  This will help you get a jump when you start the actual course.  If you can get your books early, get them and read through them.  This will show your professors that you are dedicated.  Another thing you can do is volunteer.  Colleges love that and you could get additional credits for it.  You could volunteer at food banks or homeless shelters.  Whatever you decide to do, make sure you are doing it for a purpose.  Dont just party the time away.  You sound like an intelligent young person.  I know you will make a great difference in the world if you let youself.  Good luck to you.

I don't have any titles in mind, but really your best bet is to visit the library where you will find dozens of books!  If you need help, the librarian will (or "should!) be very glad to help you find what you seek.

Under the bed bins are great!  You might also want to look for things that can do double duty, like a chest that can double as a coffee table.  Over the door racks for shoes work great for storing odds and ends like hair brushes, makeup, or whatever.  Try and use your wall space too, if you can by putting up shelves.  The more things up can put up off the floor the better.\n\nAs far was things to ask, if you have any interests or sports that you do, ask about those and see if they have teams/organizations to participate in.  Ask what the student body is like, you'll find out more general information about the people on campus.  Ask about requirments, it's always a good idea to have the classes you'll have to take in mind when planning out what to take.  I guess this is a little more like stuff you might ask when going to college, but I think it works for you situation too.

Get an SAT study book of any kind. I also did a google search and found some SAT words. Then I went to Collegeboard.com and got a practice test.

go to any local college that offers a CNA or LTC course and they should have books you can buy along with any other material you might need.

During graduate school I felt exactly as you do.  Every week I would have to read at least five 300-500 pg. books.  One of my professors gave me good advice:  Don't spend any more than one hour per book.  Read the introduction and the conclusion closely, then skim the rest.  Also, look up book reviews on search engines such as JSTOR. (two or three per book) These reviews will give you a synopsis of the book.

Your college will have a list for you.  \n\nThis list will cover the "big items."  You will have to think about what you use and wear every day of your life.  Today, with refrigerators, TVs, Video games, computers, futon couches, puffy comforters and guitars, it takes two cars to get back and forth to college.\n\nIf you are going far away, and must fly, you will either ship these items up or buy when you get there and rent storage for the summer.  \n\nThis list from the container store should start you thinking . . .

There's always the "Idiot's guide" and "guides for dummies" books. They sound condescending, but I've owned a few and they're really pretty good. They also come in almost every subject. Some college bookstores have little fold out pages with formulas, rules, tips and summaries for all the subjects too.

Any book from Prentice Hall should be good.\n\nhttp://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/discipline/0,1142,368,00.html\nhttp://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/discipline/0,1142,6,00.html

There are two really good books that you have to read.  The first is called, "Ultra Marathon Man"  and the second is called, "The Know-It-All"\nBoth are very motivational.

Great Expectstions is a "great" book, but I understand yourneed for a study guide.  There's an excellent study guide at http://www.eriding.net/amoore/prose/greatexpectations.htm\n\nCheck it out.  I've included two others.  Good luck!
