Hey guys, I'm a high school junior and I'm starting to feel a bit stressed about the SAT. I've heard mixed things about different prep methods and I'm unsure about the best way to study. Can anyone recommend some effective study techniques or resources? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Hey there! I completely understand the stress you're feeling. My child went through the same process a couple of years ago. We found that a combination of resources and study techniques worked best. First, try using the free resources from the College Board, like the SAT practice tests and the Khan Academy SAT course. This will help you get familiar with the test format and identify your strengths and weaknesses. Next, consider buying an SAT prep book, like The Official SAT Study Guide or Barron's SAT, which usually have practice tests, strategies, and content review. It's also important to develop a study routine. Try to study for an hour or two each day, focusing on one subject at a time. Don't forget to take breaks and review your progress regularly. Lastly, if you feel like you need extra help, you can look into tutoring or an SAT prep course. Hope this helps, and good luck with your preparation!
