Preparation for the next SAT

Hi,

Get ready for the next SAT that you plan to take.

There are a number of good resources at your disposal including the College Board's official guide to the SAT and Kaplan's SAT prep book.

The key is to take the practice test at least more than 3 times. Seems excessive but it's not. Just space out the testing-one this Sunday, another the next Sunday and another the following Sunday. For best results on your exam, do the practice tests (a different one each time) 4 times before you take the SAT.

The day before the test should not be spent cramming for the SAT. Make sure that you get enough rest. My daughter saw a guy doze of during the SAT. I would hate to see what his score was. Take a little snack with you the day of the test for energy since you will have a brief break which will be long enough for you to do this.

Be rested and be confident the day of the test. As long as you have been paying attention to vocabulary words (Jerome Shostak's series is great and you can find it on Amazon) and to your algebra and geometry, you should do well. The SAT will work for you if you have been keeping up with grammmar too. It's one of the easiest parts of the SAT if you learn those rules. If you took the PSAT then use the score report to work on your weaknesses and improve your strengths.
And remember life goes on after the SAT--high score or not.Use this link to get great books and more from Alibris.
