You have to succeed in the SAT exam to have a college choice, but where do you start? We will share with you our most important research tips to prepare you for the SAT. Best of all, some tips are easier than you think!
Read a lot! (In addition to the Fiction)
The SAT is very hard to read – you will have five long, solid sections one after the other in an hour. Not that the question is difficult. In fact, they are quite open. However, the reading part is difficult because your brain is likely to run out of energy during that section (hopefully not on the first pass!).
To prevent this, read a lot while preparing for the SAT without reading a movie. The reason is that four of the five parts that you will see will not be rotated. The curriculum for reading in high school is mostly fiction. To make up for this and get ready to read the SAT as a whole, pick up a magazine (Newcomer Time, New Yorker for Ambitious) or a newspaper (The New York Times is very good everywhere).
Because your “brain reading” does not appear overnight, this is the area where you want to start. So browse for books now (well, online magazines).
Mental Maths? Mental Maths!
You cannot use a calculator in one of the two math sections of the SAT. But you don’t need to bother equating with no. 2 pens.
Prepare yourself for a “mental calculator” with your brain on the SAT Math. You will save a lot of time on exam day, if you know the answer, for example, 3 × 13 right away. Not sure where to start? The free downloadable ebooks contain shortcuts and examples designed to simplify mathematics.
Group Study (really studying)
Don’t do it alone. Find a partner (or two!) And hold each other accountable as you prepare for the SAT. Share strategies, resources, and tips for exploring the SAT. Test each other, measure yourself and the most important thing is to enlarge each other. SAT is a transitional ritual full of ups and downs. It’s best not to do it alone.
Mixed practice tests
Basically, the SAT test consists of three parts: mathematics, reading, writing and language. When students prepare, they often think, “Hey, I’m just doing some math tonight.” Research shows that practicing 35 minutes of mathematics and 35 minutes of writing and language training is far more beneficial. It mimics what you will do on test day by step from section to section.
