5 Tips for Cramming for the SAT

The October and November SAT tests represent the last chance for many high school seniors before applying to college. Here are some things to do in crunch time:

1. During the week make your study sessions count. Set aside an hour with no interruptions. Be focused and organized. Review the types of problems which proved challenging on prior tests;

2. Memorize the instructions for all types of questions;

3. Memorize the given math formulas;

4. Redo all the problems you get wrong;

5. On Saturday and Sunday take a full practice test. Wake up, eat breakfast and be ready to start a practice test at 9 a.m. Use a timer. Take the practice test under actual test conditions. A great rehearsal makes for a great performance.
