<p>The SAT is all about patterns.
A good way to start is to lurk around the forums and read various threads on SAT topics. That definitely is helping me raise my score.
Second, it’s imperative you purchase The Official SAT Guide by the College Board and the Direct Hits series for vocabulary. I vouch for the series as I’m currently taking practice tests and my CR score has gone up at least 100 points from June. Also, don’t worry about exhausting tests from the College Board book, there’s a practice test you can take online on the college board website.
Additionally here’s a post that links you to 4 more official practice tests, <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1063017149-post1.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1063017149-post1.html</a>. This should be far more than you need anyway.
Math on the SAT just involves learning a few concepts and applying them to the same type of problems over and over again.
For the Critical Reading passage questions, I like to label the line reference questions within the passage before reading so I can pay more attention to them as I’m reading the passage.
Lastly, writing involves literally learning 12 rules to achieve success on the section and just reading the practice essays that scored a 6 :)</p>
