Relax. Dont study the night before or the morning before. Just go over how to do the math a little. By now if you have not been practicing the verbal section there is not much you can do to improve it except going over vocabulary or something. The best thing to do is to stay calm and not let nerves get in the way of getting an amazing score.\n\nGood Luck!

Make a schedule to prepare yourself.  Make sure you schedule time off and a bit of relaxation as well.  Ensure you know the topic (or all the topics) deeply as well as superficially.  Look up mind-mapping.  The night before each exam, be sure to get enough sleep, and wake up early enough to easily arrive at the examination on time, having eaten enough breakfast/lunch to get you through the exam.\n\nGood luck!

There is a website you can go to for practice.  Its \nhttp://www.cbest.nesinc.com/CA_viewPT_opener.asp\nhttp://www.testprepreview.com/cbest_practice.htm\nI took the CBEST a couple of years ago and I didn't think it was that bad.  Math was always my strong subject and it was a lot of logic and trial and error.  Since English is my second language, I scored 2 points above the minimum required to pass.  If you don't pass it the first time remember that you can always go back and retake the section you did not pass.  To prepare for it I tried taking the practice tests online (just to get an idea of the type of questions it would ask).  The booklet that has the registration info also comes with sample questions and you can even buy a book filled with sample tests.  I only tried doing one of them.  I think its was a lot easier than the SAT's but like I said I learned another language first so the SATs were very hard for me.  \nGood luck with the test and remember, just relax the day before.  The best thing you can do the day before is get a good night' sleep.

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.

Use the most recent Princeton texts. I used them and I got a 700 on the SAT IIC exam. I wasn't that great at math, but constant review does the trick.\n\nUsually the methods for solving an equation will stick in your head...and all the test graders care about is what bubble you mark, not how you got there. Guess the answer if you need to, but I don't recommend leaving anything blank when you actually take the test.

Use a pencil and out line whatever you think is important in the text, it will  keep you focus. In fact, this is what suggested for SAT read passages, which are known for being boring. Besides, this will help you when you have to answer questions or reread it later.\nDon't play upbeat music or music with lyrics (of course it doesn't count if it is a foreign language that you don't know).

That's great that you want a tutor for the SAT! Princeton Review and Elite are well known tutors where I live (Orange County, CA). I'm pretty sure Princeton Review is more widely spread out that just here. Here are a couple suggestions:\n\n1.) http://testprep.princetonreview.com/coursesearch/AdvancedSearch.aspx - Princeton Review's tutoring site\n2.) Go to your college center or guidance councler at school and ask for suggestions and referals\n3.) Ask older friends who have already taken the SAT and had tutor\n3.) Your city's community events paper (if you have one)\n4.) Look for flyers around your school that have information about tutoring in general because they might also tutor for the SAT\n5.) find a private tutor (it's quite costly; if you live near me, email me, I know a tutor who collaborates with College Board and has 3 books about the new SAT )\n\nGood luck and start ASAP!!!!!

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.

get a planner...write down all your assignments before they are due...make note cards to help you study...take notes in the margins of your books...(if you bought the books)...get a notebook for each class...write the title of the class, the day, and time on the front of the notebook...get a calendar and write down the dates and times of your finals ahead of time so there are no surprises...just stay focused...don't try to do too many things at once...take 20 minute study breaks and do something fun...then get back into it...you shouldn't study for more than an hour for each subject...take breaks and come back to it...if you have a test study right before you go to sleep and then don't think about it anymore...hope these tips help...

the best bet is to sit up front (as much fun as that isn't) and take a lot of notes. also try and ask as many questions as you can. those things always help to keep my attention.

I was given tips on this. \n\n1. Do not rush. In each part you only need about 55% correct from each section to pass.\n2. Skip questions you know might take too long.\n3. In reading, reading all of the story isn't required. Look at the questions first.\n4. Work on your weak points.\n5. Sugar and sweets might cause you to think slower.\n6. Do a brain exercise in the morning. Example: When brushing your teeth, count how many strokes you take. This gets your brain working faster.\n\nWell, that's all I can really remember. Hope this helps.

For your exam, I think tips would be helpful to you more than the wishes. Please take care of the following things in mind. \n\n 1. Have good sleep on the day before the examination.\n\n 2. Take a light breakfast on the day of examination\n\n 3. Ensure that u have all the stationaries and hall ticket  before leaving your home to examination\n\n 4. Start for the examination earlier than ususal, to avoid last time panics.\n\n 5. Sit and relax yourself in the exam hall before the commencement of examination.\n\n 6. Make sure that u don't have any papers(which may be considered as illegal in most examinations, except few open book exams) in your pockets or purse in the exam hall.\n\n 7. Get the Question paper and answer script and make sure that both are in good condition and there is no misprints or damages.\n\n 8. If possible, read the question paper completely at first quickly. This will give you an idea about which part u know, which u r not feeling confident.\n\n 9. Start answering from the questions which u know very well. This gives a good impression about u to the person who is correcting the paper. (Remember, u don't have second chance to make the first impression).\n\n 10. Write the answers clear and legible. So, that it is easy to read and make the person, who is correcting the paper, comfortable.\n\n 11. Make sure that u will be able to answer all the questions within the limited time.(This u have to plan earlier itself, based on the question pattern and exam).\n\n 12. Atlast, make sure that u have written all the answer and tied (if applicable) all the answer scripts in the orderly way.\n\n 13. Mostly, try to use the full duration of exam time. Don't leave too soon or hurry till the last moment. Adjust ur time, so that u will be using the full duration of the exam.\n\n 14. If time permits, finally revise the answer scripts.\n\n 15. Give the answer scripts (and QP also if applicable) to the invigilator and leave the hall. \n\n 16. Generally, don't discuss about the answers with your friends after exams are over. ( If u feel that ur answers contradict with your friends,this may affect the next exam preparation. U can always discuss these things, after all the exams are over).\n\n \n  These are just guidelines to how to write an exam from my own experience, which i have been following for  more than 10 years. Hope this may help u. All the best for your exams. \n\n\n  Try not to become a man of success, rather try to become a man of value.

Find a quiet, undisturbed place. Memorize important dates for events. Know why things occurred, like cause and effect. Most of all, study from your notes, and read from the book if you need more help. Make flash cards, quiz yourself. Make sure you know how to do math problems, and if you aren't comfortable, do the practice problems and check your answers. But study for Social Studies especially tonight ^_^ Good luck!!!
