Preparing for the SAT Test
he preparation for the SAT Exam can be nerve-wracking. It is an important factor that can determine your future success or failure. If you get a high SAT score, then the best schools in the country will look at your application in a better light. On the other hand, a low SAT score can make it a challenge to find a good university. It is not surprising that some students prepare for months, even one year in advance, in order to pass this test.
Formerly known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized examination that determines a student's capability to take up higher education in the United States. The College Board, a non-profit educational organization is responsible for the development and publication of this test. The Educational Testing Service used to handle these services but it now only administers the SAT exam.
The concept of standardized testing for college was first introduced in 1901. It has evolved several times since them. Its name, scoring method, and test types have changed drastically. The latest format of the SAT takes three-hours and 45 minutes to complete. Scores can range from as low as 600 to as high as 2400. Each section is given a weighing of 800, divided into the following:
Reading Section - includes Sentence Completions and Reading Comprehension
Writing Section - includes Grammar and Essay Writing
Math Section - testing type is multiple choice and Grid-in
There is a newly introduced "Experimental Section". But right now, it is not yet scored. The time allotted for the exam is extremely limited. But working too quickly isn't recommended by educational experts. It can significantly damage your test score because SAT exams are characterized by its subtle points. In addition, most math questions have a catch.
The key is to read each question carefully and ensure that you understand it. In some cases, you simply will not know the answer. Some professors recommend doing an "elimination process" if it's a multiple choice question. For example, if you are sure that several of the options are wrong, consider the remaining ones as your only options. If you still don't have an answer, move on to the next question and go back to this one later.
It is important to recognize that unlike in the usual class examination, most people perform well in the SAT exam, not because they try to solve every problem, but that they answer a significant number of questions correctly.
