How long do I need to prepare for the SAT?
No. You have to go above and beyond what you are currently doing. Start taking practice SAT every single day and see how you score. Then learn from your mistakes, remember as many vocabulary words you can remember, and learn how to score better on your essay. My friend took a practice SAT test everyday, studied for over six hours (in addition to the time needed to take the practice SAT test), used her three SAT books as her study guide, and crammed all her studying into two months. Her first score was horrible, but in two months she brought her final SAT score up to 2200. I believe if your willing to go above and beyond what you are currently doing, the results will show. Her studying paid off and I am also following her study guide. Although I really hate all the long hours of studying, I know something has to give if you want a really good score. It sucks at first, but think of it like this: you'll never have to worry about SAT once you are in college so deal with it and study your *** off.
How much time does it take to prepare for SAT?
Preparation for any competition or examination depends on the present level of student’s understanding and knowledge. How can a person who is not aware about the status of the student can answer this ..Well on general basis I will try to answer your query.SAT is very scientifically designed test and hardly we have seen a massive delta change in the marks of a student in repetition. So to prepare this examination we should be very clear about some of the facts.This is not a competitive exam, but a primary huddle for taking admission in US Universities.Your score is your score and with your score you will apply to different universities which comes in that range.Preparation for this should be on the basis of Logical Aptitude and Linguistic perfection.A normal student requires a time of about 3 months to prepare for this.Before writing the final exam, student should write at least 10 - 15 REAL SAT MOCKS and do deep analysis over each error.Try to improve that in the next MOCKMinimum of 3 month preparation with proper GUIDANCE is need for this exam.
How should I prepare for SAT in three months?
Work Hard!!! Revise! Go over your notes. Read through through them. Put your notes away and make a mind map to see what you've remembered (for help on this put mind map into a search engine) Compare your notes with the mind map and see what you've missed. Read your notes again, make another mind map. Make posters and put them up on your walls and look at them. Make flash cards - I have different packs of my notes - i,e when I did my A-Levels, I had packs for Chemistry - Foundation, Organic, Inorganic etc. Each was a set of condensed notes, or bullet points on the most important things about that subject. I carried one pack with me everywhere I went and read it on the bus, on the train, in the car (when I wasnt driving!) while I was waiting for friends etc. Also use lots of colours, things that will jog up your memory. Revise with a friend, or try to explain something to a member of your family that you have learnt in as much detail as you can. You'll find that you need to understand in order to make them understand. Then get the member of your family to test you (using your notes but without you looking!) Revise for an hour - put away your phone, turn off your internet and concentrate on an hour's worth of solid work, then take a break for 20 minutes and then do another hour. You'll find that three hours worth of work with three mini breaks thrown in to make about 4 hours in total is a lot more productive than sitting there for four hours solid, You'll have had enough after two hours. I was told at school many moons ago that in order to know something, you should go over it three times - learn it, revise it, revise it again. I wrote myself a list of everything on the syllabus and put a tick next to it each time I went over it. Good luck.
How much is the required time to prepare for SAT 2 physics?
An India specific answer:Get Princeton Review's Physics book. Yes, it's far easier than Barron's, but it's all you'll need (to learn the theory for the test). Barron's is overkill, and will do you no good.Skim through the book. Solve the problems at the end of each chapter to see which can be skipped.CBSE would have drilled physics so far into you that SAT physics will be a breeze.If you're in 11th: you'll probably only need to learn electricity & magnetism related topics, light, sound and modern physics.You only need a basic understanding of these topics, and all the formulae. This can be done in a few hours if necessary, but I'd suggest spacing it all out between two weeks.If you're in 12th: Read whatever you don't know in modern physics alone (usually, relativity isn't taught so read that)Once you're done learning, do as many practise tests as you can. Borrow/Buy all the books you can (incl. Barron's if you're a daredevil) and solve all the practise tests.Score yourselves. Most importantly, take the time to analyse your mistakes. I can't emphasize the importance of this enough. Revising the chapters that I tripped up on helped me immensely.For good measure, 6–7 tests should do. Since each is under an hour, you can do all this within 14 hours (you MUST spend an hour on each test for analysis). Once again, I suggest spacing this out over 3–4 days.Last, but now least. If it's 11PM on the day before the test and you've studied nothing, don't fret. The curve on the test is soooo lenient, and the questions are far, far easier than CBSE's usual fare.If you truly know nothing, learn all the formulae.You only need a score of around 60 out of 75 for an 800 on the test (don't quote me on it - it tends to be around the 60 - 65 range). You can do it.
Preparing for SAT Subject Tests?
I also took the June SAT II, two years ago. :D For the Bio SAT II (I took M), I bought an SAT II Bio E/M prep book by Barron's. I also used that book to prepare for my Bio AP test, which I had the month prior. Frankly, I was more interested in doing well on the SAT II than the AP exam, so I got the prep book made specifically for the SAT II. But the questions on the AP Bio exam and Bio SAT II are so similar anyways, because they're made by the same company. Anyways, I made a 4 on the AP exam and a 760 on the SAT II. So all you need to do is just study either an AP Bio prep book or an SAT II Bio E/M prep book. Either one should suffice. But the Bio SAT II does have some some unique things in regards to the format of some questions that the AP exam doesn't. Just be aware of that. And decide early which one you want to take. Ecology or Molecular Bio. And obviously study one more than the other depending on which one you want to take. I never took the Math 2 or Lit exam, but the Math 2 just like seeing a whole bunch of "medium" to "hard" SAT math problems. And the Lit exam is just like the critical reading section of the SAT. So if you've taken the SAT, and you were good at those sections, go for it! In preparation, I'd say prepare like you would for the SAT.
Is SAT math level 2 hard? And how long would it take to prepare for it?
The SAT Math II does cover some advanced topics in math. If you’ve already covered them in school you won’t need much time to prepare (maybe 2 months of practicing 2 hrs per week), but if you haven’t, then you’ll need to teach yourself all the concepts before you find that you’re scoring well on the test.I’ve written more about it here, including a fairly comprehensive list of the topics you should expect to see. Should I take Math I or Math II? - prepACTSATUltimately, whether or not it’s hard is up to you.
How do I prepare for SAT subject tests in in India?
Well I share a different opinion from everyone else over here.If you've already completed 12th then you should dive right into the some free practice tests( also there are some official questions on collegeboard), which are available online and see where you stand.It doesn't take much time and will save time in the longer run by giving you a sense of how far are you from reaching your desired score in the tests.If you're scoring 750–800 in these tests then I'd just suggest to brush up yourself with your 11–12th grade books with related matter.If that's not the case which is more common than not, you're probably better off doing “ Prep Books” as others have suggested.One common mistake people make is doing Barron’s. I know a lot of people who swear by it but it's simply overkill for the actual test.Here are my suggestions:Biology - PrincetonChemistry -Sterling(or Princeton if it's not available)Literature - Here's a tricky one. I'd just suggest reading older books/plays(sheakespeare/shaw etc. ) and reading their analysis. summaries and critical analysis. ( it's usually per act).That's pretty much it.All the best!
How should I prepare for SAT II Chemistry and Maths II? ?
I just took a SAT II Chemistry test from the Barron's book and got a 610, and I didn't study yet. It's basicly from what I know from school. I want around a 700, should I read the chapters in the Barron's book? I also need to study for maths but I haven't gotten the book yet. I am aiming for 700+ on both and I am doing it on December 6 and I haven't started yet. Is it too late or is it possible to finish in time?
