<p>I am going into my senior year, I live in Australia and graduate in November 2015 and will be starting university in fall 2016. I have decided that the SAT test will be the best for me. So far I have taken one SAT practice test and have done no study/revision. The curriculum in Australia is completely different and the things on the SAT I have never learnt. I don't remember what score on the practice SAT I got but it was the equivalent to about a 15 on the ACT. I have about a year to get ready for the SAT and my dream school is somewhere like the university of Southern California or Stanford, so basically I need about a 31-33 ACT wise or 2000+ on the ACT. Do you think it is possible to achieve such a high score? I'm planning on purchasing some SAT books as summer break starts next week which will give me a lot of time to prepare. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>If you have a year it may be possible. I went from an 1800 to a 2100 in 3 months, but I am from America. I can advise you on what I did.
To start you’ll need to learn and cover all the topics on the SAT.
Next you’ll need to start taking practice tests and sections. I took a practice test every weekend.
Math and Reading are all practice and there may be some tips in the book you get like there are in Princeton review. Grammar on the other hand is really easy to prep for. Just google SAT grammar rules.</p>
<p>Other than that its just luck. Your practice tests each week should tell you how you are doing. Good luck! </p>
