<p>I just wanna get an idea of how much people usually prep for the SAT. Just post an estimate of how many hours you studied! 
If you didn’t then just post 0.</p>
<p>for Oct '07-a disturbing amount of hours. went to a 60 hour prep class (useless but still time) + at LEAST 60-100 hours on my own (1-2 hours a day)</p>
<p>for March '08-a relatively small amount. Friday and Saturday-probably 10-15 total</p>
<p>First time taking, started a month ago. Taking in March
Taken 3 practice tests (so like 10 hrs)
About 2 hrs prep first 2 weeks, then this week about 6 hrs (so about 10 hrs)
I plan on doing about 2 hrs review every day before march (10 hrs)
Total = 30 hrs over 4 weeks</p>
<p>First time Goal: 2100 (2200 on my best day)
Second time Goal (including superscore - in oct): 2300</p>
<p>0 .</p>
<p>Probably a total of over 40 hours is spent taking practice tests (4 hours a test, 10 tests, and then going over and analyzing answers)</p>
<p>Actual studying, though:
Well, I had to learn
- essay (takes an hour: read RocketReview and read a sample 12 SAT essay and try to copy what they did in terms of structure)
- math (none)
- reading/vocabulary (maybe total of 5-10 hours learning all the words, reading practice was on practice tests)
- writing (again, spent on practice tests)</p>
<p>So total of around 50 hours if you include taking all 10 practice tests in the blue book.</p>
<p>blue book has 8 tests. lol</p>
<p>2 hours my score wasn’t the best and if I could do it again maybe I would have studied more, but it got me where I wanted to go and that is all that matters.</p>
<p>4 - one practice test.</p>
<p>Gah, too many. And I’m still not done… x_x</p>
<p>I estimated about 115 hours or somewhere in that area. Wow that sounds like insane prep, but I doesn’t feel that much. By the time I take it on March 1 I’ll probably be up to 118 hours.</p>
<p>I took about 6 practice tests for march 08… so approximately 24 hours…</p>
<p>About 5. 4 for a practice test, then one on math. I got a 1930, so I’m planning on studying about 10 hours a week until June, when I’ll take it again. Well, maybe not quite as much when I get closer to the test date…we’ll see. :)</p>
<p>a hundred thousand</p>
<p>About 50 hours of my life went to SAT studying/practice exams.</p>
<p>quality not quantity</p>
<p>Um about 1-4 hours per day for a few months.</p>
<p>around 5 hours a week. Hopefully this studying will prove to me that it was not a waste of time</p>
<p>gah i hate this thread…</p>
<p>jk, good luck to all of you, i’m sure all your long hours of study will pay off…lol=)</p>
<p>0 . (not counting 8th grade stuff). yeah ill study more :D</p>
<p>
ugh this is why i don’t study. cuz i know that even if i do, i will FAIL anyways. and then feel bad. ='( (haha im not saying you’re going to fail but i used to be like <em>study 5 hours a day for a year</em> and i still failed…not on the SATs LOL)</p>
