If you want to retake the SAT and/or ACT here are some tips-

1) Practice with all the official SAT tests on prep scholar

2) Practice the flashcards for SAT and ACT on varsity tutors

3) Have a couple prep books with you

4) Use the Khan Academy SAT practice tool

5) First practice getting accurate answers and then start timing yourself. Gradually decrease the time you need to answer 5-10 questions.

Hope this helps!
