SAT


Question Posted Sunday January 8 2006, 12:13 am

This year, I'm taking the SAT. I've taken the PSAT and didnt do as well as I thought I could. How can I prepare for it, because I am very busy with sports, clubs, AND AP classes!! Also, what topics are there? Like what do I need to know for the math, reading, and writing parts?

ONE MORE THING. =) I'm taking a very hard class this year: AP World History. It's extremely difficult, and I am having trouble remembering everything that we have already learned. How do I remember all of it easily and how do I pass the AP test with flying colours?

THANK YOU! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE DON'T DELETE.

Try taking a Kaplan course for the SAT. go to www.collegeboard.com for more information. My SAT score went up like 200 points(I took the SAT prior to the new writing adition when the SAT was only worth 1600 points).

The SAT generally has two parts, math and language. Check your school library or speak to your school counselor about getting a test guide. Most schools have several copies in the library. These books offer an overview of what's covered on the SAT as well as some practice tests so you can get used to the questions that will be asked.


For your AP class, I would recommend asking the teacher for a guide. You can also talk to your school counselor about study guides. Good luck.

i dont know about the SAT, but last winter i took the ACT and its just basic things that you have learned throughout all of your school years. mostly what youve learned in high school. it just wants to see how well you comprehend and remember it. if you have trouble in your classes, try making flash cards and taking good notes.

Buy a book on it. Every major book store has them. Tutors and classes are a waste of time and money, from what I've heard. That way, you can just study on your own time rather than work your whole schedule around it. The books will generally tell you what you need to know for each section.

History AP tests are known to be some of the hardest because of all the details. They have books on how to study for those, too, probably very close to the SAT books. Make sure all of your materials like your notes are organized and in order when you begin studying, which should be well before the AP test. Cramming all the studying into one week probably won't cut it. Good luck with it.
