Head in his hands, Ahmer was sitting hopelessly in the school cafeteria when a friend approached him, “ What happened Ahmer?, you do not seem okay“
“I have applied to various universities abroad but my low SAT score is not acceptable anywhere. All the competitive universities require a score of 1400+.”
“What should I do ?”
“ How to prepare well for the SAT again?”
“How to improve my SAT score ?”
This was about Ahmer, Are you too in the same boat ?
Probably yes. Every year a majority of students fail to get admissions into their desired universities due to their low SAT score. A high SAT score is essential to get into a renowned college/university. In addition to this it helps in securing scholarships. If you are planning to take the SAT again, here are a few tips to improve your SAT score.
Improve your Reading and Writing Skills
While this seems a quite simple and unnecessary tip, you can not ignore the importance of reading and writing. The more you read and write, the more vocabulary you’ll expand. Reading will also help you in exploring new ideas and writing styles.
Study Materials
Numerous SAT preparation books are readily available. Books for SAT can be found in entire sections in some bookstores. These books include practice questions, essay prompts, tips for taking tests, and reading examples.
There are plenty of online instructors and courses available for SAT preparation. Avail these resources and improve your SAT score.
Taking Practice tests
You can get a feel for the structure of the SAT by taking multiple practice tests. You’ll have a better idea of the kinds of questions you’ll be asked and where you’ll have the most trouble. This will help you better understand the areas where you need to work on improving your test score.
For Math, Memorize Formulae
Although some formulae will be provided to you at the beginning of the test, flipping between them can waste valuable time. It is preferable to devote some time to comprehending and retaining formulas. In addition, knowing these formulas will allow you to use them more confidently on test day, saving you time. A solid grasp of the fundamental formulae can significantly contribute to getting highest SAT score.
Focus on your weaknesses
Since you only have a limited amount of time to study, focusing on your weaknesses is critical because you need to spend that time on the areas that will result in the greatest improvement in your score.
Do practice questions, find additional practice questions. Determine whether you are improving or not and continuously adjust your plan.
Without a strategy or proper plan, do not approach SAT preparation. You won’t be able to pay attention to actual preparation as you’ll wander aimlessly from book to book, test to test.’
