Crack The New Sat Test: Simple Strategies Great Results

The score reporting policy of College Board makes it important for SAT applicants to work on new techniques to get decent SAT scores.

Three factors are involved in college admissions- Academic record, personal records and standardized test scores. While the first two factors require years of consistent hard work, the last factor asks for smart prepping.

Though the SAT test is really not a very complicated test, the hype surrounding it makes students taking the test nervous. Therefore, it would not be a bad idea after all to follow proven strategies to crack the SAT with ease.

Start Early

Students should take the PSAT to acquaint them with the SAT test. It would be a smart move to take the PSAT in the sophomore year. Visit the website of College Board to see the test dates.  Chalking out a plan for SAT test preparation a year in advance can help fetch high SAT scores. Students should make sure that the SAT test date does not clash with their midterms or baseball championship.

Time Management

The SAT does not judge you on your strengths; it equally keeps an eye on your weaknesses. That is why it consists of three sections with questions of various levels of difficulty. Even the simplest question in the SAT can be tricky at times. Plan your study schedule in such a way that all the sections of the SAT are dealt with properly.

Analyze your Weak Areas

Some students are good at math, while others struggle with the Reading Comprehension or vocabulary. It is important to build on your strengths while eliminating your weaknesses. You can take free SAT practice tests and analyze your scores to find out which areas require more efforts.

Diligence

Parents and teacher s might have told you on numerous occasions- There is no substitute for hard work. The bad news is that they are right. Hard work really pays. I, however, believe in smart work. What I mean is that you should spend your time in such a way that you get the most out of it. Sitting for hours and not focusing on the test paper is certainly not going to help you fetch good SAT scores.

Keeping a Notebook

In my teaching experience, I have seen that students who note down important formulas (for Math) and important words (for English) in a notebook perform better than those who rely only on their memory. What I mean to say is that you should jot down all necessary math formulas and word meanings so that you can go through it and cover the entire syllabus of the Sat before the D-day.

I must unveil a secret about the SAT test. Hold your breath. Here is the secret that most test preparation institutes hide from you- SAT is not a complex test; it’s a simple test designed to access your reasoning skills. And as the saying goes “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated”, the hype pertaining to the SAT has created a monster-like image of the test in our minds!

I scored a 162 on the LSAT, but on all the practiice tests including the most recent few i always scored?

between 168 and 171, but i have read where several people scored high on the practice and did worse on the real thing, obviously because of the different circumstances with the real thing. I felt great leaving the center and really thought i nailed it, but was shocked to see i only scored a 162, now i am wondering if i should regroup and retake this thing, or i should go with it. … I scored perfect on the logic games and by far my weakest section was the reading comprehension… which was actually my weakest on the practice tests as well.. so thats where i would need to focus….
my GPA is 3.6 im a Math and Psychology Major and a minor in Political studies… Im wanting to get into A school in California, preferably USC or UCLA…i think i have like a 10% chance based on my score to get into USC…
thats really all the info i can give… beside the fact that i play baseball for my college, Im just asking if my practice tests can indicate that i can do better..and should retake

You can only improve with practice so if you want a higher score just keep taking the practice tests and then retake it. Plus, this time you’ll already have a feel for the real test so maybe you won’t be as nervous.

A 10% chance of getting into USC is obviously slim so why not retake it.
