4 months to study for SATs. What to do?

<p>Okay, so I'm planing to take my SATs in March which means I now have four months to study for it. I just don't know how to properly start. Should I take a practice test first? I have also boughten a bunch of books that would help me out like a vocab book, math book, and grammar book, and i have already set up a schedule to keep myself on track. Does an hour a day sound good?
Also my friends keep telling me to not take the SATs in June because its too late? I don't understand why its not recommended to take them in June. Could someone please tell me why this is?</p>
