1. Buy a copy of the College Board Official Study Guide and take practice tests.
2. Memorize the SAT format (Section 1 is always the essay. Section 10 is always the short grammar section) and have a pacing game plan, especially for the critical reading.
3. Work on math strategies, not math content. Email alexis@preppedandpolished for questions about math strategies.
4. Start waking up early Saturday mornings to study SAT material.
