I’m planning on taking my first SAT this December and before I start studying hardcore, I want to know how to study effectively so I can benefit the most from them.

Resources I have:

-CollegeBoard Official SAT Study Guide
-Gruber’s Complete SAT Math
-Direct Hits Volume I
-Weekly SAT test from SAT tutor class (Every saturday morning)

Also PSAT/NMSQT is this October and last year I did horribly (I didn’t even know what it was then). Since I’m going to be a junior this year I really want to try to qualify.

1.Will studying this resources help me for the PSAT as well as the SAT?
2.What is an effective way to approach my SAT resources to get the most out of them?
3.Will Direct Hits Volume I suffice the vocabulary need for the SAT? I don’t want to overwhelm myself with vocab (it is already my weak point)
4, If you have used Gruber’s Math book, how much has it helped you? (starting math score to end math score)

If you can answer any of those questions for me it would be really helpful
