My SATs are two weeks away and I'm worried that i may not have revised well enough. Are there any tips for revising for these exams?

I took it on April 1st (I'm also in ninth grade) and it was pretty easy. Lots of questions about revising sentences, and miscellaneous math questions. You should do fine :).

1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

Well from the sounds of it your already well on your way to doing very good on this test if it not till May.\n\nWhat you should do is find someone else is going to be taking this test in May and meet once a week and ask each other questions. You just need to start at this point, its a long way out. \n\nAs long as you put in some time now you'll be ok come May.\n\nGood Luck!

If i were you, I would try to review as much as possible the night before. In my psychology class last semester, we learned that if you study the night before a test, you actually retain more information because your brain has had a chance to store it away into long-term memory. Then, the next morning, you just need to review and you'll be fine!...I like to use my notes to study, and index cards for terms. Also, find some people in your class to study with. It always helps!

Plan a schedule. List out exactly what topics you need to revise, and how much time you need for each. Then plan your revision schedule based on that.

What I did was get a couple of the prep manuals with the tests in the back...then I studied, and I took the practices tests on a saturday morning - just like the real deal...I learned what I was weak at and studied it more...I did ...you can do this...the most important thing ios to be comfortable with the testing format...take the practice tests exactly like it was a real test...study what you mess up on and you will do fine....I think I studied Petersons...get a couple or 3 different ones...and be sure to find out what format you'll be taking the test - online, paper?  then train for that format...good luck!

There is a phrase - PPPPPP - Prior Preperation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.  If you revise, you will at LEAST do as well as if you have not revised, but also have the possibility (probability) of doing a lot better.  Revision is recommended, but I wish you luck!

sounds stupid but make loads of revision cards make them look groovy and just put key points on each card have a differnt colour for each subject ... never revise more than two hours every night and have a few time outs during your revision.  grab a snack or flick through a magazine!! good luck with your GCSEs!!!!

If the stories are full length, you don't have time to read them all tonight.  I suggest skimming them and (this is BAD and I DISAPPROVE of it but in your case it might be necessary) check out the cliff notes (or some similar site that gives summaries) on them.  If you're a fast reader, or even if you're not, you should give yourself a few hours to get familiar with the texts.  But unless your class is first thing in the morning, DON'T pull an all-nighter because you will feel the effects and will not be able to concentrate.  This may sound cliché, but you need a few hours of sleep and a good breakfast the day of the test.  And next time, don't wait until the last minute!

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.

I think now would be a good time to start, since the exam session has already started, although you still have a couple of weeks for most subjects.\n\nCan I recommend www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize ?\n\nGood luck!

You know, it's really sad that you have to resort to being mean because you got a wrong answer.  If someone were to ask you why it's now 2400, could you answer.  \n\nIt's obvious that the responders to your question are the dopes.  Sounds to me that you could use a lesson in humility.  Unless you're a highschool senior (which is when SATs are taken) chances are most people won't know the score was changed (or why).\n\nPS - In case you don't know why - you now need to write an essay.

Just try this\n\nDivide your days:\n\nYou have 2 weeks. So 14 days are there.\nYou have 6 subjects. Take each subject and study that subject for 2 days. So that you can study all the subjects in 12 days. Remaining 2 days you can just revise all the subjects.\nFor example,\nTake the first subject and study that in 2 days. Likewise take the 2nd one and study in 2 days. Go on like this for 12 days.\nI think if you study like this you can cover something in all the subjects. So that you can get an idea of what is there in all the subjects.\n\nHow to study:\n\nIn a subject, see what are all the important topics. Study that first. If time permits, note it down so that you can revise it on the last 2 days. Study the definitions, side headings. Just go through the text under the side headings.\n\nOn the 13th day, close your books and recollect what you have studied in each subject. On the 14th day study for the next day's exam.\n\nIf you think that the first subject's portion is more than the second one, then study the first subject for 2 and a half days and the second one for 1 and a half days.\n\nWhen you take your breakfast,lunch,etc listen to good music and forget everything about your studies. But when you are studying you should completely concentrate on your studies.\n\nI have given a systematic plan. If you want to alter this and study in your own way, proceed in that way itself. But just try this.\n\nSince you don't have more time, you should study important topics and skip any thing which not important.\n\nALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS.

When revising for exams make a small diagram of topics to do with each subject. Then give each topic an initial and try and make a short word of each relevant initial. It's easier to remember the word which will lead you to other answers to do with the subject. I used this method of revising for GCSEs and gained 6 A passes.\nIf you have a sprig of rosemary nearby, so that you can smell it while you are revising, and you then take a sprig into your exam (if you're allowed) it's scent will supposedly take you back to the last time you smelt it thus helping you to remember the facts you revised.

First find out why you are not doing well in your exams. Is it .'cos you didn't prepare well for the exams, or you simply apply the wrong study approach? Or find out which subjects you are doing poorly. \nIf it's the former one, then I strongly suggest you study 2 weeks before the exams. Spend 2 hrs a day studying in a quiet environment and exercise, eat and sleep well daily. Avoid alcohol and late night outings if possible. \nIf it's the later one, then I strongly suggest you seek tutoring help, either from your teachers or friends. I believe we all have talents and some intelligence. It's a matter of discovering and cultivating them in order to become a successful person in this world. Remember Albert Einstein was not a good student in his junior years. He practically failed most of his tests and was less than an average student. But as we all know today who he is, and what he had accomplished and achieved in his later life. So if you are serious, put your mind to it and the end result will speak for itself. Remember there's always a light at the end of the tunnel!
