<p>I'm a little biased toward retaking the SAT, but I'm wondering if I should keep reviewing right now even though I want to give myself a break from the SAT. </p>
<p>What do you do? If you have taken the SAT multiple times, do you consistently review during that lull between SATs? Or do you chill for a couple of weeks and then ramp up reviewing? And if you could go back in time, would you rather have chilled for a while or would you rather have reviewed instead of chilling?</p>
<p>What I'm trying to get at: should I review vocab, grammar, math etc. on a regular basis in fear of brain atrophy? Or should I shove the SAT in the closet for a couple of weeks and just relax/focus on schoolwork more?</p>
<p>2400, no studying. Studying doesn’t really help you at all. The SAT is about applying knowledge… It requires you to think beyond straight up application though.</p>
<p>Just take it once, see how it is modeled, and take it again. It’s not trying to trick you, so don’t second guess yourself on the basis of “are the SAT people trying to trick me.”</p>
<p>Just relax, sit back, and take the test. It’s all about whether you know your stuff or not. If you do, you’ll be fine. If you don’t, well… not so much.</p>
<p>I took the SAT twice in October and December. The weeks that I was waiting for the results I did nothing at all, and it was great. I started really ramping it up about a month before the test. I find that if you study judiciously over a shorter time span, it is more effective than studying superficially over the long term.</p>
