talk to yourself, it may sound crazy, but it helps you to remember things.

another way is to write improtant things down as you see them, over and over, until u know it

do not use note cards! after u get used to their format, u get to a point when u think u know it, but it is only because u are associating it with another notecard, which can screw you up during the test!

writing tips:

i also find it helpful to be able to explain the lesson to someone else, because that means u know enough to be the teacher. (especially for the enlgish grammar section)

write a practice essay or two every week. have a friend or adult read it to get general feedback

math tips:

learn the basics algerba geometry arithmetic, etc, and always double check answers if you have time. skip hard ones and come back , and plug in answer and use educated guesses if you ahve no other choices

overall tips: work FAST!! check your answer!! don’t stress out! get a good nights sleep the night before!! do practice tests in the morning, when you are alert! eat well.!

buy the collegebaord SAt prep book (blue book)

and the princeton review 11 practice tests

most importantly, take a break every hour or so

good luck!

ps. start early. do NOT wait until the weekend of your SAT.

then you can go through the middle of the book to work on what you need…um…working on =D…

finally, keep taking practice tests.
