<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.
13)Be calm...believe it or not...it is one of the main reasons of silly mistakes...but also be aware enough to do the problem correctly and catch the subtleties of the questions
14)Try circling the answers on the booklet, and then transferring every five answers to the answer sheet (when time starts to run out, transfer every answer immediately) and circle the number of a question you might want to go back to. Transferring every fifth answer saves time from you looking back and forth from the answer sheet to the booklet.</p>
