![]() Timing yourself strictly and accurately is essential when taking these tests.” Taking at least two before the actual test helps you gain some sense of what it's like to sit for four hours taking the SAT. ![]() You can't train for a marathon just by doing sprints! Gaeun says: “Full practice tests are invaluable. Yes, it’s at least three hours of hard work, but if your first full SAT is on Test Day, you may find yourself unpleasantly surprised by how taxing all of that intense thinking can be. Taking a full-length practice test provides a realistic sense of how long the test is and where you tend to get tired or mentally blocked. We also recommend you take at least one practice test on paper, which is how the actual SAT is administered, so you can get comfortable with the format. We recommend taking at least one fully-timed practice test toward the beginning of your studying, and one toward the end. Take at least two full practice tests.Don't get discouraged if at first it is difficult to understand or learn, the more you practice the easier it will get.” Fariha suggests: “Figure out what areas you need to focus on the most, and keep practicing. If you have a lot of skills to learn, you might want to start studying earlier than you’d planned. That way, you’ll have a good sense of how close you are to your SAT goal. Even if you don’t plan on studying during the months leading up to the SAT, we advise you to take a diagnostic on Khan Academy, or complete the PSAT/NMSQT, six months before the test.
