Re-Taking the SAT

Great success results from great disappointment. This fall, many High School Seniors will be taking the October or November SAT. For many, this will be at least the second time they will be sitting for this exam. Poor scores on one or more parts of the SAT is the main reason students choose to retake the SAT.

To ensure a better performance the second or third time around student must:

• Start early- 8 to 10 weeks before the exam
• Hook up with a good private tutor or review class
• Focus on the parts of the SAT he or she performed the poorest on
• Do as many practice tests as possible
• Take the test seriously!
• Have a positive mental attitude
• Set goals and write them down

In my experience, those who practice the above, have the most success the second or third time around!
