First of all, I am very sick with multiple illnesses, and in chronic severe pain with no end in sight. Unless something changes, I will probably always will be in this much pain. I want to make this better, I have to! So...I have two questions for the YA community.
1. What are the very best books on pain relief that you've used? I've used "How To Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers" by Toni Bernhard and it helped a lot. (By the way, it isn't a book on how to be sicker, but a book on meditations and acceptance of being "sick.")
2, Also, you know those people who can have surgery and they have such extreme pain control they don't even need a Tylenol afterwards? Does anyone know a book that will teach me how to do this to make my pain go away?

When to start to prepare for SAT and ACT?
treehugger
I am going to be a junior next year and I need to know the best way to study for SAT and ACT. Class, book, meditation? Should I take a mixture of tests (SAT, ACT and SAT II) or just SAT reasoning, and can take it more than once during my junior year?
Answer
I started studying early because we had a thing called the PSAT and you could get scholarships and recognition from it if you did well, even though its like a practice SAT. If you are not worried about that, then you are fine if you haven't started studying for SAT yet.
However, I would definitely start this summer. Get a few books and study the format of the test, and then take a practice test. When you score the test, focus on what you need to improve the most. Since you have the summer, you should really focus on all sections, but pay close attention to your weaknesses. Depending on your resources, maybe get a private tutor for a significant weakness area.
Different people do well on either the ACT or SAT, so I would take both. You don't have to study different things for each, so why not take both? Maybe one flatters your strengths more.
If you want to be really hardcore you can take summer classes, or get a tutor.. it definitely doesn't hurt. I guess it depends on your level of preparation as of right now, compared to where your ultimate goal is.
The SAT II are important depending on where you are trying to go to college, but you usually don't have to worry too much about them, especially if you are taking AP or even classes that correlate with that subject. (English Lit, US history, etc.)
You can take it as much as you want, but I have been told by tutors I had that you really should forget this and take the test when you are most prepared. Don't rely on multiple tries.
Good luck!
