If you haven’t done a run-through with one of the old SAT tests that are available through the College Board, or at your public library, you should do so. Taking a good hard look at the questions that cause you trouble will give you a better sense of how you will perform on the exam itself. While you are at it, you should check out the ACT. Some student who do badly on the SAT do much better on the ACT (and vice versa). The two exams are created by different companies and so reflect different notions of what should be tested. The colleges and universities don’t care which one you take. Not to mention that lots of colleges and universities don’t require either test for at least some of their applicants.
