Do it right the first time." -- Tom Brokaw Go back to Teachers TO Teachers.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Parent / Dear Student Here are some tips for getting the most out of the SAT (on one page, so it’s cramped). If you have 10 weeks or less before the SAT Ignore the advice at the bottom of the page. Follow the directions of your teacher. Do at least three complete tests. Go for speed. If you can’t complete a question in less than 1 minute, skip it. You will build up time to tackle problems that you skip. write important information on the test booklet. When you skip a problem, you can return and your mental work will be on the paper. SKIP SKIP SKIP. There are usually at least two parts of any section of the SAT – and the problems go from easy-medium-hard-very difficult-easy-medium-hard-very difficult. Skip the Hard and Very Difficult. Go back and use the techniques to get the answer: “try C” and “Plug in” and “-0.5, 1 million, 3, 1/1000000” and “eliminate” Each problem is worth the same number of points. Get the easy points first. You will get a higher score if you follow the techniques. If you have 10 or fewer weeks to complete your study, you can still use the advice at the bottom of the page for general vocab-building. You’ll need it in college. SPECIFIC ADVICE ON VERBAL Verbal is Vocabulary. Some experts suggest that 80% of the problems on the Verbal section come from lack of vocabulary. If you have 10 or fewer weeks to prepare for the SAT, focus on the “HIT PARADE” of most popular words that most books provide. See your teacher if you can’t find a hit parade. Carry the list with you everywhere. Give a copy of some words to adults and ask them to use the words in sentences. Make the words REAL. Ask for their definitions. You can’t cross the word off your list until you can put it in a sentence and give at least one synonym. Other tips Drink plenty of water. Get plenty of sleep. Performance on exams drops when you don’t have enough sleep. You will perform better if you get enough sleep. You know how much “enough” is. Don’t study the techniques or vocabulary 48 hours before the exam. Smile. Even a fake smile puts muscles in positions that send “happy chemicals” through the brain. Just put your muscles in a smile position. Sit up straight. Your organs position themselves better and function better when you have good posture. Visit www.freevocabulary.com Print one page each week. Cover the definitions of the words and try to define and use the words in sentences. Cross off the words you know. After the first week, get the second page. Put the first week’s page in a binder. Visit that binder at least once a week. You might be able to identify the words after the 5th reading. When a page is absolutely crossed out, put it in the back of the binder. In 6 months, visit it again and see if you still know the words that you crossed out (when you cross the words, make it possible to still read them). Smile. Take a deep breath. www.teacherstoteachers.com For Grades 6 to 9: GEOGRAPHY READINGS <<< Click here, Ms. Moran >>>>> FCAT Jokes Math 1 2 3 4 5 HISTORY Teach about Africa Read about Robert Gachango Kenyan Author TO IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY: Memorize poems What should a tutor teach? << "Tutorial" Tutor Pages Math Work Sites www.mathforArtists.com www.math-success.com Are you studying with Mr. McCrea at Broward Community College?

| Let me whisper in your ear: vicarous pleasure. You don't need to eat me -- you can get indirect enjoyment from watching someone eat a chicken. |
| I'm looking at you: you can improve your SAT score. I did, so you can do it! |

| Flexible. The point of math is to show you are flexible. In general I like Algebra and I find many students don’t see the relevance. I try to convey the sense that they are engaging in an exercise of “flexibility.” If you can see that x = 50/100 = 0.5 = 400/800 = 50% = 4.25/8.5 = -35/-70, then you have a flexible mind. |
