Hello fellow students! I'm a junior and I just started preparing for the SAT. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the resources out there. Can anyone recommend some effective study methods or materials that worked for them? I would be really grateful!
Hi there! It's great that you're starting to prepare for the SAT. It's normal to feel overwhelmed, but don't worry, you'll find the best study method that works for you! First, try taking a diagnostic test to identify your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you focus your study efforts on the areas that need the most improvement. You can find free practice tests on the College Board website. Next, consider using a mix of resources, like SAT prep books, online courses, and tutoring. Some popular SAT prep books include The Official SAT Study Guide, The Princeton Review's Cracking the SAT, and Barron's SAT. Online resources, such as Khan Academy, offer free personalized practice, video tutorials, and full-length practice tests. If you're looking for more individualized support, consider hiring a tutor or joining a study group. Lastly, be sure to create a study schedule and stick to it, practice consistently, and take periodic breaks to avoid burnout. Best of luck on your SAT journey!
