Q1. When to begin SAT preparation?
  • Summer after 10th grade and after 11th grade is a good time to begin SAT prep, because the skills kids learn are good skills for high school. This is especially true of the math section. The math part is definitely something you can study for (Parent 1).

  • Many kids start preparing for SATs during summer after 10th grade because there is more free time and less stress without schoolwork. My daughter took a subject area SAT in Math in October of 11th grade and used a math tutor during the summer to prepare. She highly recommends preparing during the summer because she felt so much more relaxed about it. She was able to concentrate on reviewing math with the tutor without all the pressure of other classes (Parent 2).

  • Our experience has been that a great time to start working on SAT preparation is toward the end of sophomore year, or over the summer before Junior year. The pressure at this time should be low, and the studying somewhat low-key (Parent 3).

Q2. SAT Reasoning Test or SAT I

A standardized test, SAT I measures Verbal, Mathematical and Writing skills. The test intends to primarily aid Undergrad Schools to assess the potential of the applicants for advanced study. Universities in the US, while inviting applications from prospective students, ask for SAT I scores. The examination is entirely a paper-based Test. The test is scored on a maximum of 1600. The SAT I score alone cannot guarantee admission into a school – the test is only one of the major factors taken into consideration in the long process of an applicant getting admitted into a graduate school he/she desires. SAT I has three sections – Critical Reading, Math and Writing. The following is the SAT I test structure.

Q3. The Digital SAT

The digital SAT exam will be computer adaptive. Essentially put, students will each get an SAT that is customized to their performance. The better they do on the first section, the harder the questions they'll get for the second—but also the more points each one will be worth.
