Go to the library, borrow a book of practice SATs (Princeton Review’s “Cracking the SAT” or the official College Board study guide), take a practice test or two (or three or four…). THEN, you’ll know what to expect and what (if anything) you need to work on.

Alternatively, go to www.collegeboard.com to find some practice questions (and tests too, I think).

Finally, just relax and do your best. Don’t freak out if you think you’re slow, just pace yourself, skip the too-hard questions until you’ve done ALL the easy ones.

Do the questions you know first. That’s most important. Don’t waste a bunch of time on something you’re struggling with, because skipped questions aren’t penalized and wrong answers are. Actually, skipping too many does affect your score, but it’s all very complicated and it’s better to skip and come back to it if you have time.

Also, take a practise test or four before you go in for the real thing. The more practise you get, the less nervous and the more comfortable with the material you’ll be.

Err… wow it’s been at least a year for me. Collegeboard.com is the best site to visit. It’s natuarl to be nervous, but keep breathing, and get a good night’s rest. Show up on time, and just keep reminding yourself that it is only a test.

Good luck!

go buy the princeton review book – it is like a phone book – but it will really help – if you can find the one with the DVD use it – it really helps – and relax – remember you can leave them blank if you do not know them – answer the ones you know 100% sure of if you are not sure leave it blank when you f8inish the ones you know – then go back for the rest until you run out of time
