I'm an SAT tutor and basically what it comes down to is practice. Get yourself a review book (you can find them in any bookstore - Barrons, Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc) so you can familiarize yourself with the types of questions you'll see on the SAT. If you can, take a diagnostic test to see what areas you're strong in and which areas need work. Then practice. Take at least one timed practice exam so you can learn how to pace yourself. If you've already taken the SAT and want to improve, look at your score reports and see where you need the most work. Then do a lot of practice problems. \nThere are also courses, but they can be expensive.

Study longer and harder , so you will be able to remember important things. That should improve your grades.

The best way is...*drum rolls*...practice.\n\nThere's just no way around it. I recommend the official collegeboard SAT book, you can find that in most bookstores I believe. The practice tests in that book are very similar to the actual one. Whether or not you think you're good already at the section, make sure to read through the whole book. I only prepped for the SATs with that book, and I got a pretty decent score. So I really encourage you to get that book. If you're looking for something cheaper, you can try www.sparksnotes.com.\nExcellent site for some free practices. In the meantime, just browse for sites that give you free tests. www.collegeboard.com gives you ONE free test when you sign up.\n\nBest of luck for your SAT.

ask your teachers what they think you need to improve on. They work with you everday and probably know your strengths and weaknesses better than anyone of us could determine. But some universally good ideas are, spend more time reviewing what you learned that day in school that night at home, get your homework in on time, try and prepare yourself as best as you can for college prep tests like the SAT and ACT.

my SAT scores were very high, but i won't put them here.\ni find that what helps even more than studying is reading.  you can internalize grammatical structure a lot better when you read it in a book instead of in a study guide.  no study guide is a silver bullet- but i took the SAT practice tests from the college board book (about 5 of them) and got 99th percentile.  i am very much against SAT prep courses; i think they defeat the purpose of the test and give great advantages to the rich.\ni applaud your cause.

Regardless of WHAT you get on your SAT, your life is neither over nor extended. It's great to get a high score, but it isn't the end of the world if you don't. Going into any exam, never mind an SAT exam, with an attitude like yours is an invitation to test anxiety. And that almost guarantees that you will screw up on the test. \nFor a SAT to have any value at all, it should reflect your own achievement level and ability level. Do the prep, and then relax. Do the best you can and don't let your creative, analytic and constructive energies be sidetracked by something as useless as worrying about the results before you've written the test. \nGood luck!

Can you really get one from the SAT?  I thought they only gave out those National Merit things for the PSAT.  If you want to do well on the SAT (which isn't a bad idea), try studying some of the prep books or taking a preparation class.  They're generally helpful if you lack the self-discpline of studying tons of vocab for no reason and reading quite a bit to get through those sections.

People who ace the SAT's either\nA) Spend a lot of time studying the SAT (after all it really tests your ability to take that particular exam)\nor\nB) Cheat.\n\nSince you are late in the game for (A) and I hope you're not slimey enough to go (B), I would recomend getting a couple of study guides, maybe hooking up with an SAT study group if you want, and possibly, if you are willing to, get a SAT tutor, or class (if they have any one-month prep courses).

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

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....

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!

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.

The most effective way to study, in your case, begins by calling the College Board and postponing your test. While  you will certainly score a certain number of points without preparing for the test (or stress-prepping), you will undoubtedly need to re-take the test at least once to get to your target scores. Aside from wasting the fee, you'll also be wasting hours of your life, not to mention adding sub-par scores to your transcripts. \n\nInstead, take a free practice test with Kaplan, and spend 6-12 weeks studying your weaknesses. Then you can show up for the real thing knowing that you won't even have to do it again.

1. Find a quiet place to study,\n2. Clear your study area of all distractions; and\n3. When studying, have all of the available study materials on hand to prepare for your exam.\nAll of them are brief rules to prepare for an exam, but that goes a long way to get you a passing score.
