Taking the SAT practice tests
To take most advantage of a practice test, mimicking the real test environment as much as possible could be helpful.
- Think of a practice test as a real SAT test.
- Create a makeshift setup, such as a quiet corner in the house or at a library.
- Follow the same pre-test routine as on the day of the actual test.
- Wake up at the same time.
- Start the practice test at the same time as the real test and take the same breaks.
Repeating this for several practice tests may help a student develop a rhythm for taking the SAT test and build confidence.
