Explanation:
Decide on a target score rangeBefore taking the SAT, take some time to think about what your SAT score will help you accomplish.Maybe earning a certain score will help you stand out to your dream college or maybe you need to improve by 50 points to meet the application requirements for a scholarship. Having a clear goal will help you know how much you need to improve and, most importantly, stay motivated as you prepare to take the SAT again.
Set up a practice scheduleset up a personalized study schedule leading up to that date. As you create your schedule, really think about when you’ll be able to study and what time of day works best for you. Think about how many points you’re hoping to get on your SAT test by making sure you’ve set aside enough practice time to reach that goal.
Study outside the box.Mix up your SAT prep with some general skill building. Read and summarize long articles and scientific studies to prepare for the Reading Test. Read editorial articles or essays and pay attention to how the writer constructs his or her argument to prepare for the optional essay. These approaches may not be enough on their own, but there’s no more sure way to reinforce a skill and build your understanding than to apply what you know to the real world. Eric advises: “Don't underestimate the power of reading books. Reading in bulk not only increases your world knowledge and cultural awareness, but it also helps exercise your brain to pick up on finer details and make extrapolations based on context. It will make the critical reading and writing sections more enjoyable and allow you to think clearer. Read often, read lots
Take a break the night before the test."Please, do not study the SATs the night before the exam! Our neurons need some rest too.”
Studying at the last minute can introduce extra stress, lower your confidence, and wear you out. Instead, we recommend you do something calm and enjoyable, like watching a favorite movie or playing soccer with friends, to take your mind off the test and put yourself in a good mood. so please before test get complete rest and sleep.
