<p>Hi, and thanks for your help in advance!
Well I’ve been taking one SAT question a day from collegeboard.com. I have constantly gotten them wrong, maybe every 1/8 is right, which is really, really BAD. I’m only a high school freshman, so at this point if I only get that small percentage right should I be really worried about when I take the PSATs next year and the SATs the following year? How to study? Should I worry about it now? Thanks so much!</p>

<p>You’ll find lots of helpful information there. 1/8 probably should be a cause for concern if you want to get a good score.</p>
<p>well should 1/8 be a cause of concern if I’m not taking the SATs for two more years? What advice do you have to boost that?</p>

<p>Learn vocabulary, focus on learning the material well in your Algebra, Geometry, and English/Writing classes. Invest in the Official SAT Study Guide published by the College Board, which is really the only material you should utilize. As for now, I would focus on your coursework and focus on studying the summer before 11th grade in preparation to take it around March of your junior year (March 2012 for you) and again in the fall of your senior year to boost your score.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’m also taking it as a sophomore next year, so I’ll focus in the summer as well. Extra time on weekends maybe I’ll look at SAT stuff too. Thanks! But bluntly do you think that I should be worried about only getting like one question a week (1/7) on Critical Reading SAT questions? Thanks.</p>

I just took this and scored a 5/8, which I don’t think is that much worry for someone of my age (not taking legit SATs for 2 years). I only have done math problems of the day, so I guess I should work on that, but in my math class we haven’t learned about functions yet so I’m not able to do a lot of the problems. But I got like a 3 - 5/8. I just took a practice of that too.</p>
<p>If you’re at least making a plan right now, you’re on the right track. But working studying into your routine will ensure that you’re truly confident come test time. To start, maybe look around the web for some free resources (just don’t rely on them in the end, you’ll need to buy the materials you think will be most helpful).</p>
<p>My favorite sites with free materials are [2200+</a> SAT Prep](<a href=“SAT 1, SAT Books, 2200+ SAT Preparation Strategy @ MY-SAT.com”>SAT 1, SAT Books, 2200+ SAT Preparation Strategy @ MY-SAT.com) and of course, the resources at College Board. Good luck!</p>
