SAT Practice

Would you jump into the middle of the ocean with scuba gear but no skills to scuba dive? No, you would be stranded in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of gear and no skills to get out. Sounds silly, but if you don’t prepare yourself and learn the skills needed to take the SAT test, you, too, will be stranded in a classroom with testing material and no knowledge to take the test.

SAT questions are created to test your reasoning ability and time efficiency skills, not your intelligence. Therefore, the exam is a measure of demonstrated skills that can be learned. The key here is practice and following some practical advice:

1. Challenge yourself academically. Practice for the SAT begins with your high school courses. Challenging yourself and taking more advanced courses will help you build a solid basis for problem solving and reasoning. It has been proven that students who take more advanced classes and earn higher grades generally do better than the opposite. High school is no time to take blow-off courses if you wish to succeed on the SAT test. Underwater basket weaving will not get you an 800 on the math or verbal section.

2. Read constantly. Read journals and books to help improve your vocabulary for the verbal section.

3. Take practice SAT tests. Make sure you get a feel for the exam by taking several practice SAT tests. Spend time reviewing sample questions and the test directions to save you time.

4. Learn to pace yourself. Also take the SAT I: Reasoning Test, which should be available at all high schools. Other test materials should be available at school or at your local public library.

SAT practice is very important in doing well on the SAT test. Reasoning skills may be learned with practice and the right training.
