      @@thewallpaperguy4038 Do you ever put your hand under your pillow when you lay your head down and the top and bottom of your pillow gets hot (usually the bottom gets hotter)? And then you switch the sides of the pillow to where the cooler side is on the bottom touching your hand and it feels more comfortable? That's why having both sides of your pillow cool is a good thing. 👍

    Those who tried really hard in prep, do really well in school, and then share people their tips and how they did it
    and the kid who is just really smart and did not prep and has no clue how to help people because they just. chose. the. right. answer.

    Notes:
    -All the information you’ll need will be on the test, whether it’s in the passage or the little introduction brief
    -Before reading the passage, skim the questions to see if there’re any summary/theme questions, and take note of the vocab words
    -Remember to read the title/little introduction
    -For vocab questions, read the whole sentence, plus maybe the sentences before and after for context. Then substitute in each answer
    -Know what certain terms are (7:04)
    For two-part questions:
    -Look at the second part and highlight all the quotes in the passage
    -Then read the first question (only the question) and try to see which quote answers every part of the question
    -Compare the quote to the first question’s answers
    For the literature passage:
    -Try to be engaged/to have fun
    -Read challenging books beforehand
    For the debate passages:
    -Read the first passage and answer all the passage-1-specific questions while it’s still fresh in your mind
    -Repeat for passage 2
    -Especially for the Science-based passages, don’t infer anything. Use the passage/graphs to back up each answer

      @@tsillie9555 For the reading passages read them thoroughly and really pay attention. After you finish each paragraph ask your self, "what did I just read", and recap what you read in your brain. If you do this the questions should be very easy and should take no longer tha 40 seconds each. For grammer just do ALOT of practice sections. The kind of questions aked in the grammer section often repeat them selfs from test to test. Once you know them well you will be able to identify that type of question and the best way to answer it.

    THANK YOU. I'm a sophomore going into Junior year. I know how quickly time flies... I remember being in 8th grade and a teacher taking us outside to reflect on life, remembered it like yesterday. He stated that we were, "right around the corner" to the real-life world. He wasn't wrong. He gave each of us a note and wrote what we wanted to improve and work on. Then right before I had realized... I became a sophomore, practically a Junior since school ends on May 24th for me and the SAT is also practically right around the corner.

    i completely agree with the "reading in your free time" tip-i also wanted to add that if you're reading to prep for the SATs, it's a good idea to read a wide range of literature from a while back. collegeboard typically doesn't use a ton of contemporary literature so make sure you're familiar with the way that older authors write (e.g., dickens, twain, emerson, dumas, brontë, etc.). it's also a good idea to read some translated foreign literature (spanish, french, and immigrant authors especially) as collegeboard sometimes likes to include those passages as well!
