Stephanie’s Answer

I agree with the other answer, but I want to encourage you to visit your local library. They often offer free resources like SAT/ACT books you can borrow for studying and free workshops. Local colleges might also have workshops where you can learn strategies and take practice exams. It's also a good idea to take the SAT/ACT more than once. Your second score might be higher because you'll know what to expect after the first time.

Midwest’s Answer

There are a few approaches to take to get a high score on the SAT or ACT. Since you said "higher," it is possible you have already taken it. If so, one could focus on why they may have achieved an unsatisfactory score to begin with. Usually improvement on these tests can be divided into either content related or test related.

Content can be best reviewed through preparatory courses or even just individual or group review of concepts. Potentially more important is learning HOW to take the test. This falls more under strategy than content and has nothing to do with what one is actually answering on the test but the way in which the student moves through the test and answers questions. For example, oftentimes students do poorly because they run out of time on a particular section. Understanding the structure and timing of the test is essential for doing well on it!

Good luck!
