We can’t do it alone! Even if you’re participating in our renowned SAT test prep programs, you’ll want to maximize your future scores by studying as well. Here’s what we recommend:

• Prepare a study calendar. Set aside a period of time each day for studying, and stick to it! Don’t try to cram too much as the test approaches; instead, stretch your studying out to maximize your learning potential.
• Take note of your strengths and weaknesses. Study for all sections of the exam, but focus the majority of your time on your weaker areas. Decide how much time you will spend on each subject, (while taking into consideration priority for weaker subjects), and include this in your study plan.
• Take practice tests to get a good feel for the structure and content of the exam.
• Pay attention to time! Learn how long you will have for each section, and time yourself when you take practice exams. Plan how quickly you need to move through the questions, and then practice until you are comfortable with working at that pace.

Remember, the more focused and organized you are about your SAT test practice (and studying in general!) the better your results will be. By practicing each aspect of the test that you can anticipate, you are also far more likely to feel confident and comfortable on the day of your exam.
