Advantage Testing SAT Q&A

We have found that one-on-one tutoring is the best way to prepare for the SAT. An excellent tutor will be able to determine your individual strengths and weaknesses and tailor a preparation plan that will guide and motivate you to achieve your best score. However, depending on your goals, there are many ways to prepare for the SAT. For example, you can also take an SAT class or prepare on your own. If you are studying on your own, Khan Academy provides an excellent resource for online instruction.

When preparing for the test, make sure to study the underlying concepts on all of the sections of the test (not just the sections that you like best) and then practice what you have learned by taking timed, full-length practice tests. Taking practice tests is a key element to any preparation plan because you need to be able to complete the test within the allowed time limit. Practice tests will also help you grow familiar with the logistics of the official test and develop the stamina necessary to maintain your focus throughout a full test.
