Getting A Score With SAT/ACT Test Prep

By Marjorie Richards


Taking college entrance exams is critical to getting into one's first choice selection. Counselors and parents tell you that professional SAT/ACT test prep is recommended. There is a lot of competition and you want to score well above average. You can't go into it blindly expecting the best when everyone has been busy studying day and night! The hours you put weeks ahead in will be reflected in your scores, and there are ways to boost them with time and effort.

It takes a lot of time and effort and practice to prepare for these tests. Studying is the most important part in this case; the Internet can help, but good old fashioned studying is the best way to go. It's important to start preparing early, especially if you are anxious or unsure where to begin. Starting 6-8 weeks before the exam is recommended. There are a few things you can do to prepare yourself.

First, plan how you are going to study. Nobody knows your weaknesses better than you -- starting early will allow you to address those weakness. Consider taking mock tests before you begin studying, to help you better identify these areas. Make sure to obtain study material.

Before taking the test, learn what is typically on the exams. No doubt it will entail basic math and English grammar in equal proportion. You should have an idea of your standing from the practice tests as well as the format of the questions and how long you have to respond. It won't be a mysterious and you will feel more confident and relaxed when the time comes.

Take all practice tests diligently on all subjects as a good brush up tool. You will come to understand the format of the ultimate battery of tests and typically how long it takes to answer a multiple choice question. You will thus familiarize yourself with the exams to ease your mind and alleviate stress.

You'll also want to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Start with your diet. Be sure to eat a meal that is well balanced and high in protein before you take the test. It is also important to sleep well the night before. Staying up late to study is actually counter-productive to what you're trying to accomplish. Pack everything you need the night before so you're not stressing about it in the morning.

You will want to eat healthy and well with lots of protein and carbs for energy. Don't get dehydrated as it will make you tired. Plan what to wear and take with you the night before so you are fresh and ready in the morning with nothing but the test in mind.

Finally, it's important to have confidence in yourself and believe in your abilities. While following these tips will not necessarily guarantee you perfect scores on your SATs or ACTs, they certainly will help you to go into the test more confident in your abilities, giving you a better chance to do well. Just remember to stay focused and don't let the pressure get to you -- a calm and level head is best during test taking.
