Hey there! I'm a junior and I'm starting to prepare for the SAT and ACT. I want to make sure I can get the best score possible. What study methods and resources worked best for you guys? I'd appreciate any advice you can give me!
Hello! I'm glad to hear you're starting to prepare for the SAT and ACT. My child went through this process not too long ago, and here are some tips that worked well for them: 1) Start by taking a practice test for both the SAT and ACT to see which one you're more comfortable with. You might find that you prefer one over the other. 2) Use official study materials, like the College Board's Official SAT Study Guide or ACT's Official Guide. They contain real test questions and can give you a good sense of what to expect. 3) Consider using online resources, like Khan Academy, which offers free personalized SAT prep. 4) If you can, join a study group or find a study partner. It can be helpful to share strategies and keep each other accountable. 5) Practice, practice, practice! The more you practice, the more comfortable you'll become with the test format and questions. Good luck!
