[nabs-l] SAT testing

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Humberto,
I took the SAT before college but its changed since then.  So they may not 
have the analogies section they used to have. Other parts are about 
vocabulary and reading comprehension. Of course I did badly on the math part 
as that is my weakest subject.
These are my tips.  If you are a good multiple choice test taker, apply some 
of the principles you  do for regular tests.

    Read directions and sample questions carefully.
    As with other multiple choice tests, eliminate obvious wrong answers; 
then pick the est one.
    If there is fill in the blank, read the sentence with the word choices 
you selected and see if it makes sense.
    Don’t ponder on a question too long since you do not have all day; come 
back to questions you don’t know if you have time.
    This tip may not work if you are taking the exam tomorrow, but if you 
retake it, practice/study ahead of time.  Practice analogies. Know synomyms 
and antonyms for words. Stududy with a friend if you can find some test prep 
material.

I have taken it 4 times. I hope you've regestered for accomodations. I
wish you the best of luck.
