Preparation Time for SAT?

<p>How long did you spend to prepare for the SAT and how much did you score? </p>

<p>Could anyone please give me advice on the best time to start practicing for SAT? Like 7 or 8 months before the SAT examination day?</p>

<p>Btw, knowing many words doesn't mean you'll do well on the SAT right? 'Cause lots of people are freaking out over vocabulary. I know it's important, like very important, but to be "freaking out" is just too much >"<</p>
