He scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT and on three SAT Subject Tests. He has privately tutored many students and has increased students’SAT scores by more than 300 points. Sonny Nguyen learned how to improve his own test scores. He scored in the 99th percentile on the ACT.  \nTable of Contents  \nSAT/ACT Study Primer 2-3  \nSAT vs. ACT 4  \nFAQ about the SAT 5  \nSAT Study Plan 5-6  \nSAT/ACT Study Primer  \nThere are essentially four approaches to studying for standardized exams:  \n1. Not doing anything.  \na.  Pros: Waste no time or money. The wallet stays fat and you can play video games all day.  \nb.  Cons: This plan of taking the test cold is only recommended for the arrogant genius who will possibly get a less than stellar score.  \n2. Self-studying.  \na.  Pros: Save a load of cash. You can work on your own schedule, you don’t have togo anywhere (except get yourself to a desk), and you can decide for yourself what subjects you want to study.  \nb.  Cons: You will have to design your own study plan and you will have to teach yourself concepts that you may be unfamiliar with.  \n3. Taking a test prep course in a large classroom setting  \na.  Pros: If you have issues regarding some of the test’s content, the class will likely help you review these concepts. You also get to meet your peers who are also in the same situation as you.  \nb.  Cons: When teaching a large class, instructors teach to help the average student. This means that students who are naturally above average learn little and get bored quickly. Likewise, students who are below the standard can fall behind.  \n4. Get a private tutor.  \na.  Pros: You get actual face-time with a human being who is qualified to teach the SAT. It is likely that the tutor was successful with his/her own SAT score, so he/she is able to relate well to the student. In addition, private tutors can tailor their instruction to specific situations. You won’t have to go through hours and hours of math review if you’re already scoring an 800.  \nb.  Cons: Private tutors are professionals, and charge a “professional” rate.  \nIt may or may not be apparent which of the above four methods is ideal for you. However, it should be apparent that choice \\#1 is not the best. From our own experience, we have learned that the a combination of the second and fourth approaches is the most effective route to acing these tests for students who have a good grasp of academic concepts. Usually these students just need to “refine” their score, where personal SAT/ACT tutoring can help the student learn how to“disassemble” the SAT/ACT. However, there is never a substitute for honest, hard work.  \nWhere do Ifind a good private tutor? Ivy Planners does offer private, premier academic tutoring for standardized tests (particularly the SAT and ACT) . Our team members have all scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT and/or ACT. However, Ivy Planners is not just a standardized test tutoring company. We specialize in helping students succeed in high school, and we help students present and distinguish themselves in their college application.  \nHow do I go about self-studying?  \n1. Be prepared to prepare at least 2 months before the SAT/PSAT.  \n2. Buy (don’t borrow) The Official SAT Study Guide  \na. You will do the bulk of your studying with this juicy, thick blue book that come with a load of official practice tests, and it costs less than $20 new. You can also find this book at resellers.  \n3. Take practice tests like crazy.  \na. Keep in mind that you don’t have to take a full-length practice test in one sitting. In fact, at first, it may be better to break the test into sections and maybe do a few sections a day.  \nb. Also, breaking the practice test into sections is gr","cbCaitCeqf9iX1Dn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitCeqf9iX1Dn","pdf",545664,"English","# SAT/ACT Study Primer\n## SAT vs. ACT\n## FAQ about the SAT\n## SAT Study Plan\n# Study Approaches\n## Self-studying\n## Taking a test prep course\n## Private tutoring\n# Self-Study Guide for SAT and ACT\n## Official study guides\n## Practice tests strategy\n## Third-party practice exam caution\n# Test Day Tip\n## Pencil lead thickness for faster bubbling\n# SAT vs. ACT Decision\n## Choosing the right test","[{\"question\":\"What is the “secret standardized test tip” for saving time?\",\"answer\":\"Because many standardized tests are paper-based, the book recommends using thicker-lead pencils (about 0.9 mm) to bubble answers faster by hand, potentially saving seconds per question and adding up to extra time.\"}]","Super SAT and ACT Book - Ivy Planners | PDF",15]
