What is the best way to prepare for the SAT's?

Question

I'm be taking my SATs in a year's time and I really want to get into a great university such as Rutgers or Columbia. I do pretty well in school, but I'm worried about taking the SAT's I'm worried because my vocab isn't that great. How do I preapre for the Sat's and improve my vocab ( please dont say read more. I read a lot and my vocab still sucks a bit) ?

Answer 1

Well my brother takes SAT classes and he's top in his school I suggest you  look for SAT classes near you.

Answer 2

I took a Kaplan SAT prep class the summer before my junior year and an SAT prep class in school that year. I'll probably take another one this summer and take the test again in October. You should buy the Official SAT Study Guide by college board which is available in all book stores. Read it and take the practice tests inside. To improve your vocab buy sat vocab flash cards and study hard. You could also improve by studying the meaning of prefixes.

Answer 3

The best way is with an SAT book. I tried kaplan, and it didn't help me much. Then I tried the Princeton Review SAT guide, but I only increased my score by about 110 points with it. Then I got the tutorfox SAT guide http://www.tutorfox.com/satguide.html and increased my score by 320 points.

Answer 4

wow you have plenty of time.

Relax

if you really want to study, make sure you take one of the SAT prep courses your school should offer

and go to a booksttore and buy the big thick SAT prep book which really helps

but the key is to not stress

honestly, im going to UCSD this fall and when i took the SAT test i wasnt aware that i had to take it that day

my mom came in to my room woke me up and tolld me she signed me up for it

and i was completely hung over and tired and i managed to get high scores

but no stressing womann! and good luck
