Question

I take the SAT saturday, I feel like I'm not ready. What should i study to feel prepared?

Answer 1

take a lot of practice tests. In the end, knowing the test will be your greatest benefit.

Answer 2

Since you only have less than a week, I would recommend doing some practice tests to familiarize yourself with the SATs.  Go to any book store and pick up a copy of Collegeboard's Official SAT Study Guide.  There are a lot of SAT prep books, but Collegeboard's worked best for me.  They're the ones who make the SATs so their practice exams are most like the real ones.  There are other SAT guides that you could try as well.  Princeton Review and Kaplan tend to be easier than the real SATs and Barron's tends to be harder.  I like Collegeboard's book the best, but a lot of my friends liked Barron's because it was harder so they felt that if they could get high scores on Barron's practice tests, they'd definitely do well on the real SATs.

At any rate, pick up one or two practice books and try to do one practice test a day. I know that sounds like a lot, but if you're taking them in 1 week, you should get in as much practice as possible.  Don't do a practice test on Friday though.  Just relax and go to bed early so that you're well-rested for the test.

Good luck!
