So, I was in a bit of a panic leading up to my SAT—I had only a month to prepare and wasn’t sure where to start. Does anyone else feel that time crunch?! Here’s what worked for me in my SAT prep journey.
First things first, I set a strict study schedule. I divided my month into weekly themes, focusing on specific sections each week: Math, Reading, and Writing. I made sure to practice at least two sections a day, which kept me on track without burning out.
Using resources like Khan Academy was a game changer. They had personalized practice, which made learning easier and less overwhelming. I also recommended picking up some practice tests—timing yourself is super important!
Don't forget to refresh with breaks every hour. I threw in quick brain snacks like puzzles or listening to music to stay energized.
Lastly, I joined a couple of study groups online. It helped to bounce questions off others and get that support during crunch time!
In hindsight, one month felt impossible, but with a solid plan, it was totally achievable. If I can do it, so can you! What’s your study plan like?
