The SAT is this March 4, and juniors are stressing and studying non-stop. Some feel prepared, but there’s others like us that waited until the last minute to study. There might still be time to review and improve on some topics, but this advice is mainly for sophomores. It’s so important to start studying now to make everything less stressful and for you to be prepared for next year, especially if you want to go to college! 

For juniors with only a few days left, focus on the most important topics. Review your mistakes from previous practice tests. Also, remember to get some sleep so you can do your best on the day of the test. For sophomores to get an actual good score, you must start now. Start by spending at least 30 minutes of your day preparing. Whether it’s math or reading, you still need practice, and consistency is key.

One of the best ways to prepare is by using Khan Academy. It offers free practice tests, personalized lessons, and lessons focused on what you might be struggling with. Even a few sessions can help you review the most important topics for the test. Starting now using these resources can help you be successful on the day of your test. Track your progress, set goals for yourself, and make your own schedule. All of this will make studying less stressful. Using Khan Academy and reading books to study vocabulary can give you a bigger boost. Just do a little each day, and it’ll help.

Whether your test is a few days away or next year, it’s important to be prepared. Juniors, remember you can still be prepared with some practice for future exams, and sophomores avoid the stress if you can. Take some time and do what’s best for your future. Stay consistent and you’ll thank yourself.
