Read the paper first. Then answer the questions you are happiest with and no more information about. \nAfterwards go back to the other questions and answer as much as possible. Even if you dont know then at least have a guess. Dont leave any blank.\n\nMost of all just relax. This should help. Have an early night the night before.

If you're already a B student, a good way to study is to find a student who is struggling and tutor them with their homework.  Teaching something is the very best way to ensure you know it.\n\nAt the very least, find a study partner to work with and discuss your assignments with.\n\nAlso, it's very helpful to look at past tests and quizzes to review what you missed so you don't miss the same questions again.  Very often, subjects build on the prior content.  So, making sure you have a solid grasp of what you have done throughout the year will really help.\n\nGo in for extra help from the teacher.  Often, teachers will help you focus toward what's on test when students come in for extra help.\n\nFinally, study early.  If you start studying early in the week and build on that, you mind has the ability to store the information in both long term and short term memory.\n\nGood luck

If you don't want to ask your teacher for help (i think that'll be the best solution) you can ask one of your classmates who get a good grade in LA. If your worried about the tests, is there a certain format that he usually uses? For example, my teacher would usually quiz us on the story and the vocabulary words. If there is a certain format, or something that he'd usually put on the test, study those things.

how long do you have before youre test date? i recommend breaking your studying into different sections, and making time every single day. you probably should take a sample test first to see what areas you need the most improvement with. you can get a sample test here: http://www.ssat.org/\n\nfor math it's pretty easy to brush up on the basics if you understood the main concepts the first time you learned them in school.\n\nfor vocabulary there are vocab lists you can get to study from (which is basically like memorizing) but i've always found looking at the words themselves to be most helpful. break them down into parts. the word "confusion," for instance, looks like "con" and "fusion." you can figure out that "fusion" is the noun form of "to fuse" which would be bringing together different parts. "con" is a negative, or the opposite of something, so con-fusion would seem to be breaking up the parts that were once together. that's not exactly the precise definition but it gets you close enough that you could guess the right answer from your choices (you know it's negative and about order or disarray). try to approach your multiple choice questions that way, by eliminating the options that definitely don't work.\n\nfor reading they're testing how well you understand what you're reading and can figure out the main points of the paragraphs. try to summarize the essays into one or two sentences. what is the new idea the author is trying to say? what wouldn't be common knowledge? a lot of times the extra details aren't as important.\n\nfor writing make sure your grammar is perfect: noun, verb, punctuation. also try to write a paragraph the same way the reading selections are formed: include a topic sentence and then explain in more detail why you are claiming what you do.\n\nyou might make a light mark to the left of any answers you skip if you're not sure of them, so you can go back if you have time. but focus on getting as many answers done as you can from those you're more confident about.\n\ngood luck!

Part 1: Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts: Reading, and Laniage Arts: Writing.\n\nPart 2: 410 is minimum (I suggest a 450 in each) in your subject category and 2250 in the overall category.\n\nPart 3: Varies to state to state. Montgomery, Alabama offers your test of 50 dollars and 10 dollars per subject to retake.\n\nPart 4: 9 hours for your first time taking it and varies on the retake.

For math, do your homework every night. Go and ask your teacher questions every time you don't understand. \n\nFor history, find out before hand what will be on the tests and what formats they'll be in. Ask your teacher how you can best study for them. \n\nAs for your grades in general, do EVERY single assignment, even if they seem dumb. All the points add up by the end of the quarter.

When you register for the exam, they will send you a booklet that has sample questions. It's not a difficult test, just stuff you would have learned in school, for the most part. The only real study I would suggest is math, if you don't feel really confident in that area.

Try the series called Vocabulary for Achievement from Great Source Books. It has six levels of difficulty and is aimed at words often used on standardized tests. \n\nThe reading is something that you must simply practice doing. You could try timing yourself as a method to improve speed. Usually in standardized tests passages are about 200-750 words in length. So give yourself some passages that long and try scanning them as quickly as possible. I find many students improve their speed if they read the questions first, then they know what they are looking for. \n\nHesitation in speaking is usually based on feeling like you are going to make a mistake and embarrass yourself in public. The only thing you can do is practice speaking. Don't worry about making mistakes -- everyone does, even native speakers. However, I find that my Turkish and Spanish both get easier to communicate in after two or three glasses of wine... Give it a try!

Self test software allows download of small sample tests.  I find they are accurate enough that if you pass them you might as well go take the test with no prep.\nhttp://www.selftestsoftware.com/demo/default.aspx
