If you are going to be entering your senior year of high school in the fall (or if you have a child who is going to be entering their senior year of high school in the fall), the time for taking the SAT for the last couple times is drawing close - and if you have not taken it at all yet, it is especially important for you to get started! Because high schools all across the country have different standards when it comes to both education and grades, it is difficult for colleges to use a student's GPA or overall high school performance as an effective barometer of how the student will do in school, and this is why colleges put so much emphasis on standardized tests. Although you might see yourself as the kind of student who is "not good at taking tests," it will be important that you understand how to become good at test taking so that you can impress the schools of your choice - and the first step of becoming good at test taking is studying as hard as you can for the test!
The great thing about the SAT is that it is standardized, so even though you will not be able to know exactly what the questions on the test will be, you will be able to know exactly what the questions will cover, and if you put in the proper amount of time studying for the SAT, you will already know what the answers will be - even before you take the test! When it comes to achieving success in the SAT, the biggest key will be having a comfort level with the test - which means that you will want to study hard, take practice tests, and even take the actual SAT a number of times. The earlier you get started preparing to take the SAT, the better your performance will be when you take the test - and the better you do when it comes time to take the test, the more open doors you will have ahead of you for college and your future!http://bluerose.jamesloving.com/
