SAT Tips and Quips
A Guide that will Help You SATceed on Your SAT's
What are the SAT's?
The SAT's. They are the tests that basically determine your future. Colleges don't care about your GPA anymore and SAT scores are all they look at. Therefore, if you don't do a good job on your SAT's, you will most likely end up a drug-addicted hobo living in a sewer. No pressure though, this list is here to help you and if you follow all the steps, you'll have a bright future ahead of you and will be able to pursue the American Dream.
Study Hard!
I know this one may seem like a no-brainer, but it's the most important thing you can do to succeed is to study. After all, how can you take a test if you don't know the material? The best things to study are the basic formulas and core ideas for the subjects you are studying for rather than specific concepts, and then go over anything you don't understand.
Fill in ALL the Answers!
On the SAT's, leaving answer bubbles empty actually hurts you more than filling in a random answer. This, however, is still pretty bad considering you have a three out-of four chance of getting the answer wrong. The best way to ensure that you succeed is to make your best possible guess on a question you don't understand. Process of elimination is often the best way to do this, because on most SAT questions, at least one answer will be obviously wrong. When trying to make your guess, do not spend more than five minutes because you are likely to run out of time.
Stay Calm!
Even though your future practically hangs in the balance while you take this test, the worst thing you can do is panic. When people are nervous, they go too fast, too slow, overthink things, and they have a bad time taking the test. The best way to prevent being nervous is to be self-assured, and the best way to build confidence is to know that you are prepared from studying. If you didn't study and you still don't feel confident, try doing breathing exercises, talk to friends before the tests and try to forget that you're taking the SAT's that day, or try thinking about something that you enjoy doing while taking the tests.
