What are some helpful SAT studying tips?

May someone list some books that really had a big impact on their test?

I looked into Barron’s study guide which seems helpful, but I want to get opinions from other people.

Well, lets approach the question fundamentally.

First, what does the SAT consist of : Critical Reading, Writing, Math. In order to score 2100 and higher, you should prepare seperately for each of the section.

1) Math. – Take Algebra II or Precalculus if you want. The math level of the SAT is pretty low, the problem is high speed. Master all the topics: coordiante geometry, algebra, some statistics, speedy solving. Do some math every day, time yourself. Get a good calculator. You will score 720+.

2) Crit. Reading – consists of 2 parts: sentence completition, passage reading. First, read a lot. Try to read 50-100 pages a day. That will hape with passages. Learn new words. All the CR section is full of these kind of words: jeopordize, agitate, conglomeration, intrude and so on. Learn about 15 every day. And you will get 700+.

3) Writing – essay and two sections of basic english knowledge. You will ace it if start writing an essay every day. Write about 30, master the tactics and you will get a 8+.

Also, get Barrons SAT Prep, Kaplan SAT Prep. and ALso Official SAT Prep from the collegeboard. Practice all the tests, STUDY THE TACTICS – THAT”S VERY IMPORTANT, get a good night’s sleep, and you will ace this crap!

I used the above program and scored a 2110 with 10 on my essay and 800 on math. And I’m international too. So, you will do even better.

Good Luck!

My studying tip is to not study. Its really easy, I just took it today and it was just sad how easy it was. The math is all geometry or lower. The only parts I could have done better on was part of the english part that had to do with vocab. I just dont care about that because there is no real point in saying some fancy word that has a ton of easier synonyms. But yeah study SAT vocab if anything.

When I first took the SAT, my score was low in the mid 1700s but then I got the sat guide from guideparadise: http://www.guideparadise.com/index.php?option=com_guides&task=buy&id=10 and my score went up to 2190 (800 math, 760 writing, 630 reading). I highly recommend this guide for anyone wishing to get a higher SAT score.
