Get one of those fat practice books and do a lot of practice --- particularly in math.\n\nI did this for math and walked away with almost a perfect score.

Been there, done that. In my case the best way to memorize SAT vocabulary is to play matching games with words on http://www.internetpolyglot.com/lessons-en-en?lessonName=SAT

i guess you got the equivalent of a 1400 on the version of the SAT I took...you probably have a good chance, just keep in mind soooo many try to enter the prestigious colleges/universities.  find a way to make yourself stand out from the crowd

i don't think any colleges/universities base your admission entirely on s.a.t. scores.  they also look at the quality of your admissions essay/s, and your transcripts.  so hopefully if you didn't do as well on the sat's, you can make up for it by writing a fantastic essay (throw in things like how you've learned to manage your time/what the honor system means to you/things you have overcome, etc.)  \n\nalso a big thing is what extra curricular activities you have.  (band, clubs, after school jobs, volunteer work, etc.) they like to know how you manage your time and they look for someone who has good grades and still can handle other activities. because college is a busy place and time management is really important. \n\ndon't limit yourself just to schools that fit your sat score though.  if you can pull off the other things mentioned, you have a shot at any school. it's worth a try!! good luck to you!

Pay attention in class. If it's the SAT or ACT, buy a study book and study it. They really help you to prepare by giving you an idea of what it's like.

SAT is basically a brother to ACT exams. Both of these two exams test the basic knowledge of a person. Since you are a foreign student, you might need to study hard for the SAT English Subject test. the best website to visit to get more information about the SAT is www.collegeboard.com. This is the Official SAT website where you can find all of the necesary information. Remember one thing, while taking this exam always think that you are alone in the test room and please don't get panic by seeing others answering questions faster than you. Start resting atleast 2 days before the test. Have a good breakfast, but eat less than you usually do. On the day of the test just go over everything you have studied. If possible go to movie a day before the Exam by doing that you will be relaxed on the day of the exam and by reviewing before the test you will refresh everything. sleep early a night before the Exam. I suggest you start studying atleast a Month before the Exam. While taking the Test, think that you are in a place that you love the most and are extremely comfortable working. These tests are very lenghty and you might get bored by the end of the exam. Please do not think about the exam once you are done with it and when you move to another part of the test. These tests depend on the the subjects that you want to take. Refer to College Board Website for more information. College Board website is www.collegeboard.com . And Atlast do your very best on the test. I wish you Best of Luck in Advance. You can always E-mail me for any suggestions.

You should take it again.  There is an excellent study guide called "Cracking the New SAT" and it's by The Princeton Review.  I highly recommend it... it will really help you get past the "evil tricks" on the test to get your best score possible.  For example, did you know that the SAT questions come in Easy, Medium, and Difficult?  And most sections go in order, so you can tell which ones are "supposed" to be harder than other ones?  And if you avoid the Difficult ones and focus on the ones you can actually answer, you will get a much better score?  Uh-huh, believe it!  Get the book, it rocks.  Good luck!

You need at least a 3.5 (and excellent SATs) nowadays. They also favor those who can express themselves eloquently.

An SAT course is worth taking if you take it enough time in advance of the test for it to be worth anything.  Also you have to be dedicated to learning when you get in there.  All too often you see students who do not take the classes seriously.\n\nIf you can't afford the classes or you're a little short on time, I recommend working on crossword puzzles to up your vocabulary skills.  And I don't mean the easy ones.  Try to work your way up to difficult/challenging as fast as possible.  The NY Times crosswords are an excellent source of SAT vocabulary.  And read.  Read anything and everything.  The newspaper, books, magazines - anything that uses full sentences with words longer than 2 syllables.\n\nAs for math, just pay attention to things around the house - like the geometry or a room or distances from point A to B and work the math in your head.\n\nMostly the SAT's test your ability to reason and articulate and deduct.  Memorization will only get you so far.\n\nGood luck!

for english you should read a lot and then do 3 or four practice tests.... basically you need a good vocabulary and get good at skimming those passages... for math you need to know the concepts really well so that you can answer any type of question.... and you have to get used to the SAT type question.... for writing you need to get those grammar skills up and you have to write a lot of essays....

The SAT questions are not always the same. They are also mixed up on different so people won't cheat. They still try, but it's tough. Try taking the SAT practice tests. Those are as close are you are going to get since no one test is gonna be exact.

To really have a good competitive chance.\n\nSAT - 2150 and above, aim for at least 700 a section, that includes the SAT II's. Pick your strongest subject and take the SAT subject test, try to get 750 and above.\n\nYour ACTs could definitely improve.\n\nBe sure to have good extracurricular records. Actively participate in different activities. It would also look good to do volunteer.

Not only should you study hard for the SATS (practice tests help a LOT), start taking on leadership positions in your extracurricular activities.  Also, and this may be a little early to start this, but start thinking about what you're going to write on for your admissions essay.  Good luck!

All portions of the SAT are important. Think about it, most desirable well-paying jobs hire people with strong oral and written communications skills. It will be in your best benefit to perfect that skill no matter what you plan on doing in life.\n\nStandardize tests DO NOT dictate how well you will do in life. They may play a role as to what university you'll get accepted to, but try not to worry too much about it. Just prep for the test and do you best. if you don't get the score you want, take it again.
