Thread: Tell me about being successful on the new SAT

Approaching Junior year (Starts this thursday), I just began to realize how close I am before the SATs. I've always had this vision of me studying at LEAST during the summer before junior year, if not earlier. Yeah... didn't do that at all. My curiosities regarding the new SAT is about how to be successful on the essays... how to study for the vocabulary the best way (rather than getting long word lists and cramming, which I suppose I can do as well)... and how to study at all for the math portion. Thanks in advance...

On the Essays, use big words.. but use them correctly..

uhh also DO NOT write about personal experience. try to pull an example from history, or a novel or some legitimate source. Not a movie or your life.

and don't stress.

We have SATs in the UK but my spider sense says that they are two different things.


Would anyone care to elaborate on American SATs?

Necro needed.

I need advice on how to study for the SAT's now.

Any advice appreciated.

Don't worry about it and don't study. If you know basic math and are a half-decent reader getting a good score is no trouble at all. And since I've seen some of you writing 2-page long posts the essay shouldn't be difficult either.

If you absolutely must study the vocab at least use freerice.com which is almost fun to use.
