Here are some strategies you can do when you are taking the SATs:1. Read a bunch of good books - from classic to the contemporary. 2. Pay closer attention in your math subjects.3. Read the dictionary when you get the free time.4. Refresh your algebra and trigonometry5. Try to get a bunch of SAT reviewers and time yourself as you take the exam at home. Remember that half of the SAT exam is to test your vocabulary and the other half is to see how good you are with numbers. Get those pocket dictionaries. They are an easy read but they are jam-packed with vocabs you might need on the day itself. As brain-wrecking as Algebra and Geometry are, you have to be patient in reviewing these. Refresh your numeric knowledge with math exercises. This will hone your calculation skills. Practice what you have learned. Practice makes perfect. Most importantly, when the day comes, relax and concentrate.
