Is it too late for me to start preparing for the SAT?

Hello, I'm a junior in high school and I just realized that I haven't started preparing for the SAT yet. I know that most people start studying way earlier, so I'm feeling a bit stressed about it. Is it too late for me to start studying now? Any advice or resources you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! First of all, it's never too late to start preparing for the SAT. While some students may begin studying earlier, plenty of others start during their junior year, just like you. The key is to create a study plan that works for you and to stay consistent with your efforts. To begin, you can take a practice test to gauge your current level and identify areas where you need improvement. The College Board website offers free practice tests and resources to get you started. Additionally, Khan Academy has partnered with College Board to provide personalized SAT practice tailored to your specific needs. You can also consider purchasing a prep book or signing up for an SAT prep course if you feel that it would be beneficial. Remember to stay focused, practice regularly, and reach out to your teachers, counselors, or tutors if you need any extra support. Good luck with your preparation, and remember that it's never too late to start working towards your goals!
