<p>I am aiming to take the SATs in October, but finding it hard to get motivation as well as a plan together for studying (I'm currently in the summer of my sophomore year). I start classes on July 7th, but I want to start studying before they begin. I am having trouble managing my time for studying as well as hanging out with friends. Can somebody please suggest a plan for studying? The current resources I have on hand are: the official sat study guide (2nd edition), Kaplan SAT Purple Book of Practice SAT's, and some sample full length sats (that I got from older relatives). Thanks.</p>
