SAT on August 24th - Who's Taking It?

Hey guys, just wanted to see who else is planning to take the SAT on August 24th? Also, do you have any tips for these final few weeks of prep?

Hello! Good to see you're taking the initiative for your exam. The final weeks of prep can be an essential time for cementing your knowledge and building up confidence. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Frequent Practice: Focus on taking as many timed practice tests as possible. This will help you understand the time pressure of the actual test and adjust your pace accordingly. The Bluebook™ app is an excellent resource for this as it allows you to take full-length practice tests simulating the new digital SAT.

2. Review: Actively review the questions that you got wrong as well as the ones you've marked for review. Understanding your mistakes will prevent them from happening in the actual test.

3. Balanced schedule: Ensure you rest and maintain a balanced diet. Tiredness and fatigue can affect your performance, so it's important to find a balance between studying and relaxation.

4. Conceptual clarity: Do make sure you are clear on all the concepts - for Math, this may look like revisiting some rules or formulas, and for Reading and Writing, brushing up on your comprehension and grammar rules.

Remember to remain positive and confident. You've got this!
