Learning to Sat test entails daily intensive practice. Whether you are taking a course or you don’t, practice at home with yourself going over and over questions that are hard in general or hard for you and solving test is proven to be very efficient way og learning given that you need to learn a massive amount of information in a relatively short time.
The sat questions we provide are so diverse so even if you think you already covered a certain field of knowledge we will surprise you with a tricky question that has a twist that you might miss.
Before we proceed to the concrete learning and practicing we will provide you with information about the test itself. Sat test measures the learning ability of the student.
Most of the questions are multi-type questions with one or more right answers but there are also subjective questions like writing an essay. The critics of this test say that it is culturally biased. I.e. this test is adapted to the western white student and doesn’t reflect the ability of wide groups. However, as for today it is widely accepted in the USA and is a entrance certificate to universities.
The test is comprised of a few sections:
Critical reading-this section includes reading comprehension and sentence completion. This section examines your ability to understand text and your vocabulary. This section is a multiple-choice questions.
Writing section: This section consists of two parts: multiple-choice questions and open question. The first part is finding the right errors in a sentence and the second part is writing an essay about a given subject.
Math: in this section there are also two type of questions: one, there is a mathematical problem that has four answers, only one is correct. You have to choose the answer out of the four options. The other type of questions is questions with no given answers, you have to calculate and reach the solution and fill it into a special grid.

Do they really help in preparing for the SAT?
And do they include questions and essays that will be on the real SAT?
Thanks.
In the filling in the blank section for sentences, some of the words are really hard, and I’ve never even seen them before! How should I study for that? Read the dictionary!? And I have an SAT study guide, by the way.
Is a 620 good on this years Biology SAT subject test?
Any guideline or scale I can compare with?
I didn’t do so hot on my P-SAT.. 1530.. and I’m wanting to bring it up like by at least 200 or 300 points
I am thinking about getting
‘ The Official SAT Study Guide’ by college board
as well as ‘Hot Words for the SAT’
are there any other books i need to get?
such as those that focus entirely on critical reading or math?
if so what ones would you recommend?
I’m taking the SAT I in May. My brother gave me a hand-me-down CollegeBoard study book copyrighted in 2006 . Would you recommend getting an up-to-date book, or will the information be adequate enough to prepare me?
I am practicing doing the essay on an SAT in Official SAT Study Guide (collegeboard) and i always get stuck there. I hate the essay sectiona and it takes me 1/2 hour even to get into the topic. I blank out on the books i’ve read or historical facts (i don’t know many) to use for the 3 examples in my essay. and i really want to get a good score on it. what are your suggestions? I have to stop getting stuck at every topic. I suck at brainstorming and making an outline, it takes me a century.
For example, an SAT 2007 guide could be bought by someone in 2010 and still be "usable".
yea im looking for a free guide for the SAT and ACT if anyone knows where i can get one.. possibly online if possible. thank you.
Should I spend the money? I got a 1600 the first time on the SATs but i really want a 2000.
can i buy it @ barnes and noble? where can i get a free copy? thanks!
Alright well I took my SAT last month and did poorly on Reading/Writing. I did do good on math aleast but I need to retake it and with most college applications being due Jan 15 I am signed up to take it again for Dec so I can get my scores back in time to send them off to colleges.
Now I only have a month and I want to make sure I get the best book out there to help me cause im pretty much going to lock myself in my room haha and study this book all day and night learning new techniques and strategies.
Do you all recommended any other books out there? Or am I good with this one.
I’ve pretty much got the math down (although I want to practice more). But I would really like a book with good vocabulary and lots of hints for the verbal (CR) and writing sections. Also the same or another book with pleanty of practice. And if you have one that proved useful overall please do mention it. Thanks ahead of time.
i’m taking SAT 1 exam in jan, and i was wondering what is a really very good book for that, is the official guide from college board the best??
Im planning to take the SAT the first week of May but I dont know when or how to start studying. I have the recent SAT study guide book and i guess a few sources online.
Should i start studying now or a week before the test so ill have fresher knowledge on it.
Please answer with advice and internet sites that help with the SAT
I’ve heard that College Board’s practice tests are "dumbed down" compared to the real thing. On the other hand, college board is the one distributing the tests, so it would seem like their tests would be most accurate. I took a practice test from a college board free guide and it did seem easier, but it’s not like i suddenly got all 800s on it, either.
What should I do? If you took the SAT in march, especially, if you used college board’s study guide, how did it compare to the actual test?
Thanks in advance!!!
thanks guys! specifically, what do you think of this book for the math section? (i suck at the math section)
Why dont the collegeboard SAT study guide have answer explanation? Is there any site that give the explanation?
Also, what are the scores that top colleges require? Do I have to take more than 2 subject tests as well?
Can anyone recommend me good SAT guide books other than the Princeton Review?
Sorry for asking so many questions, help greatly appreciated (:
Someone here told me to use this guide on the website ( guideparadise.com ) but I wanted to know for sure if I spend the to buy it, if it would really help me. Has anyone tried it? Did it work for you? Was it worth the ?
so guys I’m taking the SAT in October and i was wondering what was the best study guide for the SAT? my weakest area i would say is math, but i still want a book that tackles all subjects thoroughly , thank you sooo much
for now Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the SAT , really attracted me because it seems upbeat and actually bearable to read for hours, but I’m afraid it won’t be good enough. what have you guys heard about this underground study guide?
I dont think Barrons has the same tests; they seem so ..idk, just so complex maybe
anyway, Thanks!
The question in the book is in its exact words:
The Acme Plumbing Company will send a team of 3 plumbers to work on a certain job. The company has 4 experienced plumbers and 4 trainees. If a team consists of 1 experienced plumber and 2 trainees, how many different such teams are possible?
Just tell me what you get…I got 48 but the book says the answer is wrong.
