How to Study for the SAT General Question Exam

So you want to know how to study for the SAT general question exam, huh? Well, I guess the easiest way would be to either get some test-taking genius to sit in for you, or else get a copy of the actual test and memorize it. Failing those options, however, there are some things you actually can do to better prepare yourself for the SAT.

The first trick in studying for the SAT general question exam is to understand that it is NOT a test that adequately measures your IQ. Plenty of kids who have been considered dumb as a sack of hammers have scored surprisingly high on the SATs, and there have been any number of class valedictorians who have been shocked to receive their scores. So no matter what your ultimate score turns out to be, don’t take it as any more of an indication of your intelligence than how you do on Jeopardy or Millionaire.

When you prepare to take the SAT general question exam, keep in mind that the SAT and any other standardized test is far more a quiz on your ability to take a test than on any actual knowledge. Of course, it certainly helps if you actually know the material on the test, but independent and completely unscientific experiments have shown that people who train to take a test can do just as good by utilizing their little tricks of the trade as people who are more familiar with the subject of the test. Sad, but true. And remember kids, standardized tests are the best our leaders can come up with in their plan to unleash a newer, more competitive working class out into the global economy. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Okay, here we go, teaching you in 2,000 words or less how to study for the SAT general question exam. And, basically, it all comes down to one simple task. Getting yourself a copy of the prep test. Yep, that’s all there is to it. Well, not all, but it’s the single most important thing you can do.
