<p>1) Master the vocab!
2) Use your head!
3) Get a good nights sleep before you take the SAT!!!
4) Do the SAT QotDs as a warmup before taking any SAT exam.
5) Bring snacks to keep yourself fueled during the breaks.
6) Read a lot.
7) Listen to NPR.
8) Commit to the SAT with passion and tell yourself it's fun! I don't know about you, but I can't imagine doing too well if I were to walk into the SAT administration room with a pessimistic attitude.
9) poo before you leave so don't you feel like pooing during the exam
10) get an adequate amount of caffeine in your system (I did 2 rockstars) and make sure you have something to eat as a snack, 3.75 hours is a long time to just sit and be attentive.
11)Read something like a newspaper before you leave for the testing center. This will help you on the CR passages.
12) Conserve enough energy to do well on sections 8, 9 and 10 -- the three sections in which they're all guaranteed to count. This means there's no "test" section in these last 3 sections.</p>
