sharp and analytical as you go about preparing and eventually taking a test that you
wish be cleared with flying colors. One such examination is SAT and you will do yourself

of the experiences shared by erstwhile candidates that we have formulated the tips
below that shall stand you in good stead as you adhere to them in your preparation for

Although it does not seem proper to offer this suggestion right at the beginning, the truth
is that there exists an alternative to SAT by the name of ACT. On drawing a
comparison, if you realize that it is the other option that you are more comfortable with,

ACT too will get you admission in the four-year schools of your choice.

2. SAT ideal for avid readers
As your vocabulary will be tested in the sentence-completion section of SAT, you have
to have a liking for books and make a conscious endeavor to learn new words on a
regular basis.
3. Learn to handle pressure beforehand
Taking SAT is also about coping with immense pressure. Answering nine questions one
after another is no easy task. Therefore, it is recommended that you take a few practice
tests before the D-day and become absolutely certain about time management.
4. See that you aren't hoodwinked
It is paramount that you read each question carefully and pay attention to detail.
Hastiness can cost your dear and nothing will hurt you more than the realization that
you opted for the wrong option to a question that you could have answered correctly.
5. Trust your instinct or leave it unanswered
While answering a multiple-choice question, if you succeed in narrowing down your
choice to a couple of alternatives, you can go by your instinct and indulge in a bit of
guesswork. However, if you are completely clueless, the question can well be left
unanswered.
6. It all boils down to your basics

Be it the writing or the math section, the questions posed to you will gauge whether you
have mastered the fundamentals of both the subjects. So, if you aren't well-versed with
the key topics in English grammar, you may encounter difficulties in answering the
multiple choice questions comprising the writing section.
