Well, there are plenty of books, websites, and preps online offering their advices to preparing for the SAT. But really, they are all saying the same methods. I will list a few here:
1) Take as many pratice tests as you can, under timed conditions. That doesn't mean you should spend 4 hours every time you pratice, but just focus on what you need to improve. But if you haven't taken the SAT before, then it would help to try the 4 hour simulation to know your starting point. 2) Read. Read anything that you are interested in. Because you have very little time for the reading sections, you should speed up your reading. Be an active reader and really try to understand the text while trying to speed it up as well. 3) Know your vocabulary. Wheter you learn words best by listen to audios, using flashcards, or whatever, spend a bit of your time every day learning the words. Slipping in a few words in everyday situations - while talking or writing - can help as well. 4) Use your SAT prep materials. There are numerous products out there - books, cds, prep classes - ranging from 0 dollars to thousands of dollars. Find something that's right for you and stick with it. For books, I recommend the Official Guide to SAT & Barron's SAT. For cds, Flocabulary is pretty nice - if you like rapping. For SAT preps, I personally like online preps like ePrep and GMAXSAT. You can get one-on-one tutors too, but this is a rather pricy option.
I hope this helps. Do your best. Remember that SAT doesn't measure your intellegence. It's tests how well you take the SAT. Good luck! |

| I personally don't like learning for testing, but learning for understanding the material itself. As was mentioned above, vocab is a really easy way to boost your score. You could try using a free vocabulary builder like VerbaLearn. My students use it and it seems to really teach them material with examples and neat review methods. They also seem to really like the ability to put the words, definitions, and examples on their mp3 player. |

learning for the material itself can also be accomplished by reading the newspaper, and reputable magazines (news, etc)
also reading in general is good. find books that are on your reading level or higher (young adult and regular adult etc) so that you can learn to comprehend better in general.
this will help you with vocab, reading comprehension and possibly even grammar.

| First get The college Board's Official SAT study guide has all you need from test taking strategy to 8 sample SAT tests. It is by the people who make the test so you cant get closer to the real thing. Then get the book Answers and Explanations by Peter Tanguay. It gives you the FASTEST way to answer the 8 sample tests in the college board's official SAT study guide. Any book can show you how to answer these questions, this book shows you how to get them the Fastest way. Since the SAT is a timed test this is what you really need. |
