How One Can Get An Outstanding Score With Professional SAT/ACT Test Prep

By Marjorie Richards


Taking college entrance exams is critical to getting into one's first choice selection. Counselors and parents tell you that professional SAT/ACT test prep is recommended. There is a lot of competition and you want to score well above average. You can't go into it blindly expecting the best when everyone has been busy studying day and night! The hours you put weeks ahead in will be reflected in your scores, and there are ways to boost them with time and effort.

It is recommended to begin prep from six to eight weeks ahead of schedule, depending upon how much material you expect to cover. Be consistent in your effort. Work in a fixed area at a given time of day to make it a regular routine. Decide your weaknesses and strengths to concentrate most on what is needed and special time on the tough stuff.

Six to eight weeks before the exam, you should have acquired and assembled your study materials. You can order them online or borrow from a friend who has already passed the tests. Adopting the right mental set is the next phase of the on-going process. Now you are ready to begin.

Make sure you know the test. Take time to brush up on basic Algebra and English grammar. Take mock tests. Mock tests help you get familiar with the format and work through any testing anxiety you may have. Try to take as many mock tests as possible. You'll want to start taking them at least ten days before your exam date. This will help you to improve your scores.

Prepping is like role playing the actual exam. You will alleviate stress the more you take the mock tests not to mention improving your score. It is amazing how much difference it makes. Manage your time ten days before the SAT and ACT exams so you can squeeze in as much study as possible, particularly in your weaker areas.

Take the mock tests until you master them, especially right before the final day. You will have a good assessment of just where you stand. Your confidence will grow as you see your scores improve. Also right before the big day you should get plenty of rest.

You will want to eat healthy and well with lots of protein and carbs for energy. Don't get dehydrated as it will make you tired. Plan what to wear and take with you the night before so you are fresh and ready in the morning with nothing but the test in mind.

In the long run, if you heed to the advice of prepping for these important career altering exams, you will prevail and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It is all about attitude and having the self-assurance to answer the questions with confidence. The outcome will no doubt be commensurate with the effort put in, so strive for maximum study time as you can.
