Hey Melanie, happy to see you back girl with your great questions.
Studying for the SAT can feel overwhelming at first, but once you break it down, it’s totally manageable—and even kind of fun. Here are some friendly, practical tips to help you get started:
Start by taking a full-length practice test so you know where you’re at. This baseline will show you which sections need extra focus and help you build a study schedule that targets your weak spots. Khan Academy is great for this since it’s officially partnered with the College Board, offering free, personalized practice.
Next, set up a consistent study routine. Even just an hour a day can make a big difference. Mix it up—work on math one day, focus on reading and writing the next, and review vocabulary or practice essay writing on another day. Variety keeps things interesting and prevents burnout.
Consider forming a study group or finding a study buddy. Discussing tricky problems or sharing tips can make the whole process less lonely and even a bit fun.
Lastly, remember to take breaks and reward yourself for your hard work. Whether it’s a short walk, a quick snack, or a bit of time with your favorite show, balancing work and downtime is key to staying motivated.
Good luck—you’ve totally got this, and know we are here for you girl!

Practice, practice, practice! I would start by getting a SAT study guide book. I would then take a few practice exams to see where you stand, identify where you are doing well, and identify where you need to improve. Lastly, I would study test taking and time management techniques, that way even if you don’t know the answer to a question, your test taking strategies will still give you a chance at selecting the correct answer.
