SAT Practice Test

Taking SAT practice tests is crucial for increasing your SAT score. Studying test material without taking several SAT practice tests will not be useful if you can't learn to apply your skills throughout a full-length exam. A full test requires strategy, concentration, and good pacing, all of which can be learned by taking practice tests under simulated test conditions. Luckily, there are many resources available for students when it comes to SAT practice tests:

1. The PSAT- Take advantage of this exam by using it as part of your preparation for the SAT. Make sure you take it seriously.

2. Visit a bookstore- Go to the nearest Barnes & Nobles or Borders store to purchase books such as 10 Real SATs, Cracking the New SAT and How to Prepare for the New SAT. These books were designed to teach students the skills necessary to take the exam. They include SAT practice tests as well as test-taking tips and techniques.

3. Search the internet. Use the Internet to your advantage. Online SAT practice tests are available on many websites. Visit 4tests.com, College Board and Kaplan. Many online practice exams are free, so what have you got to lose?

Simulated Test Conditions

When you are ready to begin taking practice tests, try as much as possible to recreate "test day":

- Take the test at the time of day that you will be taking your SAT (approximately 8:00 AM). This may take some getting used to, as some people concentrate better in the afternoon or at night.
- Find a location where there is some noise distraction. Contrary to popular belief, there are still minor distractions in the actual exam room- paper shuffling, pencil clicking, coughing, etc. Get used to these types of distractions by practicing at a place like the library.
- Make sure you are timing yourself to get a feel for the time pressure you will feel on test day. Buy THE SILENT TIMER™ to help you pace yourself.
