As for endurance, the first skill, you'll have to stare at a screen intensely and focus for over three hours. Keep this in mind when taking practice tests. Get used to working for hours on end. The physical and mental exhaustion is part of the test's challenge. The second skill set, a basic knowledge of reading comprehension, math, inductive and deductive reasoning, is covered in the later chapters of this online prep guide. No calculators are allowed on test day, so you need to practice doing basic math calculations by hand. General test-taking skills are covered in this chapter and throughout the online guide. Timing is a major part of test taking, particularly for the SAT CAT. To improve your problem-solving abilities (the fourth skill set) we have extensive information on reasoning techniques and specific strategies. When you get a question wrong, make sure to review the conceptual error you made by reviewing our explanations for the question. You do not want to repeat the error. How to Prepare The SAT is a difficult and unusual test. Budget at least 50 hours to prepare for the SAT so as to get your best possible score. |
