Hello! I'm a junior, and I'm starting to prepare for the SAT. What resources or study methods do you recommend for SAT prep? How should I structure my study time? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
Hi there! It's great that you're starting to prepare for the SAT early. There are many resources available to help you study effectively. One popular option is using the official College Board SAT prep materials, which include practice tests, sample questions, and a free online program called Khan Academy, where you can get personalized practice tailored to your needs. In addition to that, there are many SAT prep books available, which can provide you with strategies, tips, and additional practice questions. My own child found the 'The Official SAT Study Guide' and 'The Princeton Review's Cracking the SAT' particularly helpful. When it comes to structuring your study time, it's essential to create a schedule that works for you. Set aside specific times each week for focused SAT practice, and try to stick to it as much as possible. Remember, consistency is key! Don't forget to also take breaks and give yourself time to relax. Lastly, consider taking a few timed practice tests to simulate the actual test environment and build your test-taking stamina. Good luck with your preparation!
