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.
