1. Get a decent night's sleep\n2. Do some practice problems the night before as a little warm-up\n3. Eat a decent breakfast\n4. Stay calm\n5. And just try to stay concentrated while taking the test, it's a long test, but focus and concentration is key.\n\nRead the problems fully, and try to eliminate answers.\n\nYou should do fine. Good luck!

Well study and review right before the test. It sounds to me that you need some improvement in your study skills! Try writing the info down or typing it out, it might help!

I never took either one. Have you transferred your credits from your Jr. college? This is what I did and I didn't need the tests. I have heard the SAT is easier. Most colleges should be able to set you up with the schedule, or I am sure there is something on line. Check the web site. There should be testing dates and locations there.\nBest wishes going back to school. I have started this too, but I am a few years older than you. But It Is better to do it while you are younger!

I would take the SAT again, unless you run the risk of scoring lower than 1170 if you take it again. Since it is such a selective program, you need to get a bit higher than the minimum score to get in.\n\nGood luck!

There are severl SAT prep books that you can buy that have practice questions in them...they are very representative of the real thing! Good luck!

Nah, that was mostly  for Analogies, which I gather the SAT doesn't include anymore.\n\nYou wouldn't be squandering your time though; it's always laudable to augment your vocabulary.

Well on Monday I did a mondular exam in Maths. I loved it cause I only had to remember Handling Data not anything else!!!I'm doing the same for double science and have done mocks recently. I liked it cause they were multiple choice and I only had to concentrate on a certain part!!!So I prefer modules laods more!!!I struggled with my SATs with all the long answers and remembering.!!

I got 2060 on the SAT. Here's how I prepared.\n\nCritical Reading- I read lots of wordlists from sites like www.number2.com and I did many practice questions.\n\nMath- My Dad is a great Math teacher, and he helped a lot. If you know a good teacher, ask them to help you out. Do a few diagnostic test and then concentrate on your weakest areas. Keep a log of the problems you got wrong and re-do them at some point to ensure that you've honed your skills.\n\nWriting:\nEssay- Again, my Dad. Get someone who will analyze your essays critically and who will give you points to strengthen your argument.\nMC- Did lots of worksheets with my Mom.\n\nApart from this, I also did a very helpful collegeboard prep course on the net. I also did a Kaplan training class which was completely useless and I would never recommend it to anyone.\n\nBottomline- Don't worry about how long you study. Make it good study time where you get the most out of the time you spend. If you can get your parents to help or if you have a good teacher who can support you, there's nothing like it. Finally, be cool while preparing and on test day. The SAT is a minor challenge that we\nhave to face, so don't get worried or stressed and don't let it scare you.\n\nGood luck!

First of all, don't panic!   Everyone went through it! (even us old fogeys!)\n\nWhat I have suggested to my son is to make sure you do the homework the day you get it.   That way, if you are having any problems, you have a chance to talk to the teacher before the homework is due!   If you leave it til Sunday, you will be overwhelmed! - and teachers will not believe you didn't do the homework because you had problems (it's on a par with my dog ate it!)\n\nWith regard to revision, you need to find a way that you are comfortable for revision.   some people prefer silence, others prefer listening to their favourite songs.   Some people like to lie on the floor, some on the bed, some sitting at a desk.   Do whatever suits you.   But do not prevaricate - get everything organised before you start (drink, pens, paper and so on).   Then do your revision in 20 or 30 minute chunks (not including getting books out and putting them away!.   Then, every hour (ie, after 2 or 3 subjects), have a break.\n\nI found the best way to revise is to read through notes again and again, making notes of things I need to remember.    Your teacher may have given you clues as to what may be coming up in the exams.   If you can, work through old papers, using your school notes.   You do not have to do it under exam conditions - and you do not need to write an essay, just jot points down.   It will also give you some ideas of what sort of questions you will get. \n\nWhen doing exams, there should be a mark for each question.   If a question is only worth 1 mark, do not spend long on it;  however a question that is worth 25% of the marks, it is worth spending longer on it!!!   The way I did exams was to jot down points that I could remember for each question before I started writing.   You will have had practice at this when jotting down answers in your revision.   That way, I was able to easily see what I could remember most about.   \n\nthe amazing thing is that if you do revise, you will find things do stay in your head, even though you think they haven't.\n\nIf you are struggling in some subjects, ask your teachers for some extra help.   If you have exams coming up, you should find that all the homework is relevant!\n\nSo calm down - worrying will get you nowhere!   We are all rooting for you!

I had a week to squeeze in SAT studying 'cause of my mid-terms. Buy/borrow a study book (Barron's,Princeton,etc), they really help in getting you familiar with the exam style. I would've failed miserably without that book.\nYour vocab knowledge is extremely important! It helps in Reasoning Test plus gives added advantage for the Essay.\nDon't rush through the paper! You'll just end up making tons of mistakes. Always double/triple check if you have the time. If you have a tendency of reading too quickly and missing out impt info, double-checking reaaally helps.

No really,\n\nIt sounded scary to me, but once you sit down to take it, you realize it is the same as taking your SAT.  It looks daunting, but it is just another standardized test.  the only thing that made it harder for me was the fact that you can not go back and review your answers at the end of each section because of the computer based system that they now use.\n\nI would suggest a bit of studying of the system that they are now using and a short breathing exercise just before the test starts, to calm down the nerves a little, but the test is not any harder than any other.

I had to study for something else.\n\nI'm just plain dumb... Dumb as a post.\n\nThe teacher didn't tell us anything about this stuff...\n\nI had hiccups.\n\nThere wasn't enough time!!!\n\nI forgot my lunch money so I couldn't concentrate.\n\nI came late to class.

That's really all that you can do, is study those books. The SAT is much more difficult than the ACT (which is what I took). Good luck though! Study hard and take it as often as you need to! Also get lots of rest the night before, eat a good breakfast, and concentrate!

I'd try contacting The College Board, the company who gives the SAT's.  I'm sure that they'll be able to give you a copy, though it will probably take some processing time and cost a bit of money.  The link below takes you to their contact page.  Good luck!
