SAT advice:

When it comes to SATs, everyone is bound to get nervous and anxious. One of the reasons for this is that we are not prepared for it. So the question: is there any place for practicing or preparing for the SAT? Yes! A highly recommended tool is Khan Academy. An hour or more each day can potentially help you score high when the test comes. Other than Khan Academy, your local libraries also offer SAT practice books for you to borrow. The best time to look over them is during extended breaks. So if you are planning to register for May 4, 2019, and June 1, 2019, the spring break is a good opportunity for you! Furthermore, there are local programs that help you get ready for SAT too. Sign up for them when you have the chance!

SAT Fee Waivers:

Your college counselor might have mentioned it to you that there are fee waivers for SAT as it is quite expensive. $47.50 for SAT and $64.50 for SAT with the essay. You should take SAT with the essay because many colleges will be looking for that in your application. Some schools offer fee waivers for students while some don’t. In the case that it doesn’t offer fee waivers, you can apply for fee waivers over at collegeboard.org. Keep in mind that you have to be in a low-income household to get a fee waiver! High-income household have to pay for it, unfortunately.

What should I do on the day before the test?

Get a good night sleep

Pack 2 of your NO.2 pencils, an eraser, an approved calculator, snacks, admission ticket, and photo ID. A watch is optional to keep track of time.

Look over at the practice problems again. A good review will always help.

In the morning before the test:

Arrive at the test location around 15 minutes early! Being on time is crucial.

Eat a protein breakfast to start the day off.

Listen to classical music on the way. Unusual as it may be, it helps you do well on the test.
