No, not really.  Go over a couple of practice tests to see - they're pretty good.  Don't panic over the essay portion, either.  Many colleges don't even count that portion.  Find out if the college(s) you're going to apply to count that before taking it.  If they don't, you're home free!

I know people who did two years at community college then went on to four year colleges without ever taking an SAT so it's doable. There are also some colleges that don't require the SAT. Or you can just take a prep course or self-study and take one of the tests. You will probably do just fine, if you are motivated enough.

well, not all the time. I had a cousin on my mothers side that worked for a state college in Virgina. She had some connections and was pushing the admissions office to let me in. my sat's were low so they said i had to take them again. I had already took them twice and a few practice ones. I never took them again and ended up going to a better college somewhere else. But the her college never rejected or admitted me. they just wanted me to redo the sat's. so she helped me but it was not a sure yes.

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!

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.

SAT's will help....I'm not sure it will matter for you though...if you have a chance of going...I wouldn't think you would seek advice at Yahoo Answers?

Just as every other standardized test, the LSAT is easy for some, hard for others. The test has 4 scored sections - Reading, Logic games, and 2 Logic Reasoning - as well as 1 unscored section and a writing sample. Check out a free practice test at your local Kaplan center and see how you'll do.\ngood luck!

I don't have any clear idea,even I took it for the first time this November.But, one of my bros,who has cleared even the second level and even got through the interview told me that scoring around above 75% in MAT and SAT as well can make you get through quite easily.Hope this helps.GOOD LUCK!!!

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!

Are you talking about the Regents' testing Program? If so then it is not as hard as some people say it is. It has two parts reading and an essay. I passed it on the first time. It is best though to review and maybe practice a little. Here is a website that you can practice on. http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwrtp/indstu.htm\nGood Luck!

Congratulations on your entrance to the U.S.\n\nFor help with the SAT, go to your local library and speak with the reference clerk/librarian.\n\nGood Luck!

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 ACT is easier than the SAT in my opinion, go get a book and review the different subjects and go to the ACT website, and click the option where it says to sign up through US mail or something similar to that, and they send you a practice test. i recommend you to study for science because that was one of the most difficult parts.

Here are the basic facts:\nthe ACT math includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry.\nthe SAT math includes arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.\n\nClearly, subject-wise, the SAT math is easier. However, there are wrong answer penalties on the SATs, and there are other reasons why the ACT is a much more "friendly" test. Give yourself a favor, take a free practice test from Kaplan. It's just like the "real thing", so you'll know what kind of scores you can expect. If your scores aren't where you want them to be, you can improve them by studying with a book, and online course, a class or, best of all worlds, a private tutor. The fist step, however, is to see if any of your target schools do NOT accept the ACT, and to find out the median scores for those schools. That way, you'll know where you need to be!\nGood luck!

Oh, yes. Only 9% of applicants who apply get admitted. The 91% who get turned away are probably extremely qualified, but Harvard can only accept so many students. As for how tough it is to get in? I've heard of valedictorians and prospective students with 4.0's and perfect test scores getting denied. So yeah, it's tough to get into Harvard.

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.
