A practice schedule can help you have attainable and measurable goals when it comes to SAT prep.
Practicing the SAT will help you develop the skills you need to excel on the test and it will help you
discover problem areas that need more attention. There are a variety of ways to develop a practice
schedule. You need to choose the methods that are right for you. Here are a few suggestions.
Timed Practice Tests
You should take a timed practice test several times before the exam. You may want to schedule a date to
take a practice test each month until the exam. If you take a timed practice exam at least once a month,
you can track your improvement and tweak your study methods so that you can attain you desired score.
One Task Every Day
Do one simple thing to prepare for the SATs every day. You may want to do the same thing every day,
such as practicing vocabulary flash cards every night before going to bed. Alternatively, you could set a
weekly schedule such as two practice questions on Monday, vocabulary flashcards on Tuesday, reading
comprehension on Wednesday, etc… No matter what method you choose, make sure you stick to it every
day. Remember these daily tasks are in addition to a few hours a week of more in depth study.
Schedule a Study Group
Studying with friends or a tutor will hold you accountable to your study goals. You don’t want to show up
to a study group unprepared. Schedule a study group once a week or every other week to check in with
each other and offer test prep tips. Mr. Test Prep can offer helpful test prep methods specific to the exam
you taking. If you are studying with friends, make sure your study group stays on task and productive.
Read
It cannot be emphasized enough that reading every day will help your SAT scores. Set aside a few
minutes to read every day. Move outside of your comfort zone and choose materials that are challenging.
In addition to reading, take time to discuss what you are reading with friends or family. Discussion will
ensure that you are comprehending and interpreting the material.
