General

Go to sleep. Like, right now. Last-minute cramming and tips from online forums won't help you as much as a few more minutes of sleep could.

wuts ur goal score? good luck! make sure u know all the rules before going in. anything u do wrong
may look like u cheated if ur proctor is really stingy. and if that happens its all bad

@unleqit thanks u too

I'm taking it tomorrow too, gl man. I made my own thread without realizing that you made one first, but owell..

@arandannnyX i think i gut more out of guest534 comment then i did out of the book was looking at and its only 7:30 here so

I'm takin it tomorrow too
I'm not really doing anything for it though.
Only tip i've got is the math questions are in order of difficulty so do the first ones... first.
But math is easy, Reading is the hard part.

hmm best thing you can do right now is
get off basil, go to bed and make sure you wake up early to eat tomorrow morning

@asperragus im white o.o and tys for the tips @guest534

this is a serious question: what ethnicity are you?

@kevsk8 :

Basic stuff:

- [b]Get like 10+ hours of sleep.[/b] Contrary to popular belief, 8 hours is actually too little. You have to be well rested. There is nothing to cram on an SAT so sleep early. Oversleeping can be bad too though. Make sure to warm up your brain with simple puzzles or problem-solving (or even a practice test).
- [b]Take the test a little while after you wake up[/b]. Your brain is more functional in the morning than at night. So no graveyard schedules; sleep, wake up, warm up, test. That's it.
- [b]Eat a big breakfast and bring snacks[/b]. Complex carbohydrates is good. Oatmeal is good. Sugary cereals is BAD. Eggs, hashbrowns, and sausage is good. Poptarts are BAD. Keep your metabolism up. You'll get a break during the test which should be used to eat something and relax.
- [b]No energy drinks[/b]. Rely on your rest and metabolism. Thinking actually does burn calories and you'll need the good kind of energy to survive those long hours.

Test stuff:

- [b]If you can eliminate even one option out of 5 answers, just guess.[/b] The test tries to scare you from guessing wrong answers by pinning you with a -0.25 for each wrong answer. However, statistically you're much better off guessing. Not answering gives you [b]ZERO[/b] while getting it right is a full point. You're looking for anything that gives points.
- [b]For the essay, BS it if needed.[/b] The people who grade your essays don't really give a dam about anything since they're usually underpaid teachers with a lot of free time. Keep it clean, simple, straight to the point. Develop your stance, explain, conclude. That's it.
- [b]For math, the first half is super easy; the rest is super difficult.[/b] Know that anyone who has finished 10th grade math can reasonable get a perfect score on the first half of the math sections (ie it's really easy). You should be zooming past this. However, the second half of each section actually requires some thought. Always double check your answers because none of the choices are actually innocent (the given wrong answers are usually answers that statistically most people get that are wrong). Do not spend too much time on a single question because each question is weighted equally (hard questions are worth just as much as easy questions). Usually the last math questions are almost impossible and is the true barrier to a perfect 800 for those studious SAT takers. Don't bother too much with them but at least guess if you can definitely rule out some answers.
- [b]For reading, you're on your own.[/b] They'll pin you with definitions to obscure words and ask ridiculous sentence structure questions. This is something you had to have studied about before. This is truly a test of your own ability in English. For reading comprehension, read fast, read quickly. Highlight anything that seems even remotely interesting or significant since they'll be sure to ask you about it.

Haha I'm taking it tomorrow.

I've been prepping and hoping for a 2K o.o

Eh. Not much I can say..

@guest534 i didnt do a hole lot of studing i took the psat twice and got 1600 ish both times and ive taken Catalyst study class

DO NOT overthink questions. Also if you can't at least cross out 2 answer choices, omit it.

Dress comfortably like how you dress at home.

Pro Tip : use a pencil, because without one, you'll fail.

Depends... are you going in blind or did you actually prepare or take classes?

And what did you get on your psats?

I wouldn't know. I went into the SAT's without knowing anything that was going to be on it and got a 1610
