For a free practice test, go online to www.collegeboard.com

This is the official SAT site. You can download, take and score a practice SAT free. After that, you will have a better idea of what your son needs to work on before taking the test for real. Then you can see about getting a study book (available at most bookstores or even your public library). Make sure he learns a little about the strategy on the SAT. (You are penalized for wrong answers but not for skipped questions, so if you have absolutely no idea, don’t answer, but if you can narrow it down, it is worth a guess). When he takes the practice test, take it with the time restraints (it should tell you at the beginning of each section how much time you have). Get him a calculator that is approved for the test (if you can’t afford to buy a graphing calculator, see if he can check one out from the school or borrow one from a friend).

Don’t put too much pressure on him to do well, though. It is nice to score well, but won’t hurt him if he doesn’t. Tell him to think of it as practice for when he takes it in high school. That’s what my mom told me when I took the ACT in 7th grade. I did well on it, so when I had to take it for real, I wasn’t at all nervous because I figured if I could score that high in 7th grade, I had nothing to worry about as a junior.

I don’t know of any websites, but there are SAT preparation books galore. They’re not cheap, but our kids found them helpful.

It’s an honor to have your son’s intelligence recognized when he’s this young. He should not expect to score well, because while he’s clearly a smart guy, he hasn’t been taught a lot of the skills and materials he’d need to score high, especially in the Math section. You don’t want to give him any sort of numerical expectation to aim for, since his score won’t really be an indicator of his intelligence as a whole but partly of how far he’s gone with his education.

Still, he’ll have a good time with the challenge if nobody turns it into a pressure cooker, and when the time comes to take it for real, he’ll be cool and calm.

P.S. It’s Johns Hopkins, with the “s” at the end of John.

On the old SAT they wanted a 1000/1600, so a little below the avg. for national seniors, that was in 2003, so it probably changed to a 1500 or 1600/2400 is what they are looking for.

I would recommend that the best preparation would be to have him go through one or two full length practice tests. That way he/she knows what to expect, but doesn’t feel all the pressure of a national test.

Most importantly, make sure you congratulate your son for his accomplishments thus far and make sure he knows that no matter how well/bad he does on the test, he is still a smart person, who has done more than most kids his age.
