| Posted 3 months ago I used a book called "The Real ACT prep guide". The 2nd edition has 3 real past ACT practice tests. There's probably books for the SAT too. The one I have was published by Peterson's and the makers of the ACT. Hope this helps! |

| Posted 3 months ago The prep books are definitley helpful, I used Kaplan to study for the critical reading section of the SAT, and my score was raised 120 points! Theres also a book called "Up Your Score" which tries to make studying for the SAT's more interesting by adding jokes and sarcasm. Some of their tips are very helpful too, like whenever you hear a word you dont know you should look it up, no matter where you are, to up your vocab for the tests. The book even shows you the fastest way to fill in the bubbles so you dont have to waste time on that. |

| Posted 2 months ago Read. BEST WAY TO IMPROVE GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY. Hands down. I know for a fact that students (like myself) who don't read often, do worse on English sections. Just fifteen minutes before bed can seriously help you. Better than cramming vocabulary the week before the SAT. |

| Posted 2 months ago Finally! another freshman! Well, if your're a nerd enough to get registered on this site for your freshman year then you're doing just fine (No offense, I'm a total geek/nerd/ whatever, and to me that's a good thing). Just try to keep your grades good and start checking out books from the library to prepare you. One book like that is called Essays that will get you into College. I'm reading it, and it will help with any scholarships you want to try for. also some schools have practice practice SAT tests for freshmen. Hope this helps! |

What I do to do better then my last years of school is just study more and ask my teachers for advice on how can I get my grades Higher and ask what are some good strategies too learn more and to always be prepared for test. My advice is to Always study and take as many notes as you can ! |

| Posted 24 days ago get in a SAT prep class near you, (sometimes they have it at your school like me) or just get practice from web sites like collegeboard.com that contain real SAT questions, or princetonreview.com, try to expand your vocabulary as much as you can with old proper english and get the princeton review study guides, all that will help you a lot |

| Posted 23 days ago I would suggest any type of test prep book with practice tests. Ask your counselor for an ACT/SAT practice booklet so you will know what to expect on the test day. |
