SAT MYTHS
If your test is soon and you don’t have much time to study, just review SAT test-taking myths.
If you have time to study, be sure to review SAT studying myths before you spend too much time studying. You may notice there are many more myths about test taking than studying. This is no surprise as far more people take the test than study for it!
These myths have been composed from years and years of SAT tutoring. These beliefs come from students, teachers, counselors and even SAT study guides. If you have any questions about them be sure to post a comment!

Wow, I wish i had started worrying about the SAT when I was 12.
Being In junior year of high school, taking it the last date possible for this academic year… isn’t going to be a plus for me
Gosh, Having a solid GPA, and amazing transcript.. BUT bad SAT scores, thats a bummer
Hi Gabby,
Good for you thinking about these things! Is it hard to get 660 in math? Hard for some, not for others. Most students make the mistake of thinking the score they get is their best. Or maybe they take it again hoping to improve. The bottom line is wherever your score starts, you can improve it if you have the desire and motivation (and right prep materials).
Given you won’t need to take the SAT for several years, I wouldn’t worry about it. Just focus on your grades and more importantly, your activities! Join clubs or start your own. Doesn’t have to be the standard science or chess type clubs. Join a photography club if that interests you! Get on the yearbook committee! Most of all, have some fun!
I never believed my teachers/parents when I was your age but I’ll say it anyway . . . read in your spare time. Reading is the single factor that will improve your SAT writing and reading scores the most. I can’t tell most of my students this because it’s too late for them. You’ve still got years to go so find some material that you like!
