How to Increase Your SAT Score

Successful people set goals, develop a work ethic and focus on attaining those goals. It is no different with standardized tests such as the SAT. The following list is a recipe for SAT success:

• Start early, take the PSAT in 10th and 11th grades
• Buy a review book in 10th grade and get familiar with the question formats
• Read one article per day from a prominent newspaper
• look up words you don't know from your daily readings
• Join a review class in 11th grade
• Do as many practice tests as possible under actual test conditions

All great athletes, musicians, performers and students share the same characteristic--they practice, practice and practice, and by doing so, they put in the time to be great at whatever they do.
