Get an SAT book, and learn all the different types of question format so that when you take the real test, you will skip the tipe to read on how to correctly answer the question cause you already know, and you'll have more time to work on answering the question.\nIt might not sound as much of a help, but believe me, it helped me very much. The SAT has breaks during the exam, but all the time, i was done sooner than the others and i got a pretty damn good score.

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study

To get into state schools, the score to get in is not all that high. Also, you can always retake it. The colleges only really look at the overall score so your writing and language can help balance out your math score. There are different ways you can prepare for the SAT ranging from getting books on it to taking an online course.

Hi, the best way to prepare for a test is to practice similar questions over and over again.  Make sure they have the correct answers to check with their answers.  Go over problem questions in class.  Have students make index cards with formulas, answers as 'cheat sheets', then collect them or make sure they put them away.  If the student can write a cheat sheet they know enough for the test.  Go over test taking techniques for multiple choice, T/F, and essays.  More and more tests are requiring on-demand writing.  Have students make their own outline or notes when covering material in class, it will help them remember/internalize the information better and have the students teach you or someone else in the class what they've learned (peer teaching, peer assessments). Good luck.

The completely un-helpful answer is, learn how to be faster. Do so by learning what to read and what to ignore, how to zero in on grammar issues faster, and how to get through complicated math problems in a short amount of time. Also, don't forget that on the SAT, it's better to skip a few questions and "bank" that time, than to rush through all the questions, get half of them wrong, and suffer the "Wrong answer" penalty. And, of course, practice taking the full 3/4 hour test so fatigue doesn't impact your performance. For more tips, check out a free "test day strategies" seminar at your local Kaplan center, or just drop by for a free practice test to identify your weaknesses.\ngood luck!

Study! (obviously). :)\n\nGet sleep the night before your test. Eat breakfast. Give yourself 10 minutes or so "meditation time" before the actual test, where you're not studying, but you're relaxing. Do whatever you can to avoid talking to classmates before the test. Don't worry about who finishes first or last or in the middle. Just study, relax, and do the best you can at your own pace.

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.

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.

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.
