Good SAT scores can give students a big boost in the competition for college admission. For many students, an SAT course can be a valuable tool in preparing for this important entrance exam. SAT test preparation courses and private SAT tutors teach test-taking strategies, study skills, and serve as a resource for testing materials.

What do the Professionals Say?
Practice with a timer!

Often times the SAT is the first timed standardized test students encounter. When you are beginning to learn crucial pacing skills for the first time, it is easy to become overwhelmed or flustered. Practicing ahead of time with real SAT questions will prepare you for the types of questions that appear on the test. But this is only half of the solution - the other part is taking these practice tests WITH A TIMER that is designed to help you learn proper pacing. Unfortunately, it does not matter that you can answer all of the questions correctly if you cannot finish your test on time.

Using a timer, specifically THE SILENT TIMER™, is an inexpensive way to significantly improve your score. Learning the pacing skills to beat the test's time limit is a great comfort on test day. Even if you cannot bring the timer into the test (sometimes it is not allowed, depends on your proctor), you will have already developed a pacing strategy to move steadily through your exam. After all of your hard work and practice, you have trained your mind to answer the questions in the allotted time, so now all you concentrate on is answering the questions correctly!

What are the top 3 ways to study for the SAT?

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Practice tests are the key to performing well on the SAT. Using past SAT exams allows you to become more familiar with the test's format, the type of questions, and difficulty levels. The CollegeBoard web site has information on past tests, practice questions, and prep courses.

But just using the past tests is not enough. Test prep experts agree that practicing UNDER TIMED CONDITIONS best prepares you for the pressures of test day. Even if you cannot bring the timer into your test, THE SILENT TIMER™ is still the number one practice tool.

Our timer isn't JUST a quiet timer; it also will help train your brain to spend the correct amount of time on each test question. Using a patent pending process, THE SILENT TIMER™ takes your test time and number of questions.

The SAT is a standardized test taken by most high school students. Most often, when someone refers to the SAT, they are talking about the SAT Reasoning test. The SAT also has SAT Subject Tests, which are tests specific to a particular subject.

The SAT Reasoning Test (SAT) is 3 hours and 45 minutes long. It consists of one 25-minute essay, one 10-minute, writing multiple-choice section, six 25-minute sections of Critical Reading, Math, and Writing, one 25-minute unscored section, and two 20-minute sections (one math, one critical reading).

You receive a score for each major section: Critical Reading, Math, and Writing. The scores for each section range from 200-800. Your total SAT score is the sum of these three scores.

The current SAT Reasoning Test came out in March 2005. The previous SAT's verbal and math sections can be equated to the new SAT's critical reading and math sections.

Read our Test Handbook to learn more about the SAT. The official SAT web site also has great information.
