Hi guys! I'm a junior and I'll be taking the SAT/ACT soon. I've started studying, but I'm not sure what the best strategies are for preparing. What study techniques did you find most effective, and do you have any advice on how to balance test prep with schoolwork? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! It's great that you're starting to think about your SAT/ACT preparation. My child went through the same process not too long ago, and I think I have some tips that might help you. First, it's important to understand your strengths and weaknesses. You can do this by taking a practice test to identify the areas where you might need to focus more. Once you know which areas need improvement, create a study schedule that allows you to work on those areas consistently. In addition, it's beneficial to use a variety of study methods, like online resources, books, and even joining a study group. Balancing test prep with schoolwork can be challenging, but try to set specific goals for each study session so you can track your progress. Don't forget to give yourself breaks and time to relax! Good luck with your preparation!
