You don’t want to start studying for the SAT too early and burn out long before exam day. You also don’t want to start too late and discover you need more work than you thought. So what is the perfect time frame?

The Ideal Plan

Keep in mind everyone is different. Everyone takes exams differently, remembers information differently and studies differently. However, taking into account some common factors every student faces, you can develop a plan and tweak it to fit your needs.

At Mr. Test Prep, we cannot express often enough the importance of practice tests for preparing for and

performing well on the SAT or ACT. In fact, we even design our methodology around taking practice tests.

However, there can be a few instances when practice test cease to be beneficial.

Trouble Spots

Don’t let practice test lull you into complacency. Taking multiple practice tests, without stopping to study

your trouble areas won’t help you get better. You will have a better understanding of the test in general,

but you won’t improve your skills if you don’t spend focused study time on your most challenging material.

Understanding Mistakes

If you don’t go back and look at the practice exams in order to understand your mistakes, your time taking

practice test is not serving you. You need to work to understand why you got specific problems wrong and

what you need to do in the future to get similar questions right. Take the time to evaluate the whys of your

score, ask yourself:

• “Did I misunderstand the questions?”

• “Did I not know the appropriate material?”

• “Did I use the wrong strategy for finding an answer?”

Sometimes you will need to improve your test taking skills, while other times you will need to have a more

thorough understanding of the material.

Timing

Practice testing, especially taking full practice tests, requires a lot of time. If you use all of your time taking

practice tests you will not have adequate time to study in order to improve your skills. Plan out your

practice tests so that you can use them to evaluate your improvement. Space them out so that you can

study trouble spots and work to improve your score.

Improvement

Remember the ultimate goal of practice tests is to improve your score. This requires a thoughtful plan,

dedicated study time, and intimate knowledge of the exam. Practice tests will help you plan out your

studies and track progress, but they cannot entirely replace learning the necessary material. Make a plan

for your study that includes several practice tests, but isn’t overwhelmingly dominated by them. Find the

right balance between practicing and studying so that you feel confident about the format of the exam and

the material covered on the exam.

DOES YOUR CHILD NEED TO IMPROVE HIS OR HER STANDARDIZED SAT TEST SCORES?

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A MASTER SAT TEST TUTOR IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BAY AREA WHO REQUIRES NO HOMEWORK AND GUARANTEES RESULTS?

I can help. Working with high school students for over 18 years, I have developed a philosophy supported by skills and techniques proven to result in superb SAT Tutoring and ACT test results.

We all move through the world with a self-image that sets what we believe we are capable of. This self-image often under serves our potential because it has been formed by a hodge podge of experiences, some encouraging and affirming, others anything but. The sense of self is malleable particularly in young people.

I work to expose their doubts and fears as more imagined than real and to convince them that they are much more capable than they realize. This serves the all-important self-image in a very powerful way. It not only results in vastly improved standardized scores but also recalibrates the belief in what’s possible.

As I work with my students, I never lose sight of my real objective. I may be helping them ace their standardized tests, but ultimately I am elevating more than just a score.

The value of each 2 hour session is multi faceted:

When you are getting ready for an exam, more factors than just studying can influence the outcome. It can be tempting to snack on junk food while you are powering through study sessions, but empty carbs and saturated fats won’t help your score. Use these seven brain energizing foods to stay healthy and have the brain power you need to excel on the exam. Not only are these foods good for you, they are also delicious.

1) Avocados

Avocados have a myriad of health benefits. They are full of the good kinds of fat that help your brain. They also fill you up and help keep blood sugar down. Guacamole always makes an excellent study snack. However, if you are hungry for something sweet, try these recipes for non-traditional treats all baked with avocado as an ingredient.

2) Eggs

People have long been wary of eggs, especially the yolks for raising cholesterol. It turns out they don’t affect cholesterol in healthy adults and the yolk contains the majority of the powerful nutrients. Have scrambled eggs for breakfast, or keep hard boiled eggs around for an easy snack or salad topping.

3) Kale

Kale is packed with vitamin K and manganese. According to Medical Daily, these nutrients are essential to brain health and help you feel focused and refreshed. Try roasted kale chips instead of potato chips.

4) Beets

Shape Magazine points out that studies have found that the nitrates found in beets increase blood flow to the brain. Increased blood flow to the brain leads to improved brain function. Try the delicious combo of beets chips and sweet potato chips, or drink some beet juice for a quick boost.

5) Seeds

Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are a delicious salty snack that offer a variety of brain and health benefits. NaturalOn points out that Omega-3 fatty acids found in these seeds keep your brain healthy. Protein keeps you energized. Tryptophan releases serotonin, a brain chemical that fights anxiety. These little seeds also contain plenty of Zinc, which is well known for fighting viruses and for improving memory. This handy snack packs a powerful combination of benefits that will help you feel ready for the exam.

6) Poultry

L-tryosine is an amino acid in poultry. This amino acid encourages the brain to produce dopamine, which helps with memory and alertness. The next time you need a snack full of protein Snack Nation suggests Turkey Jerky.

7) Blueberries

Blueberries are delicious on their own, on cereal or in a smoothie. This superfood is known for its abundance of antioxidants which promote brain health. It’s not hard to enjoy a handful of blueberries everyday.

Power Foods

Choose what you eat carefully. Eating these power foods can take care of your brain and your body so that you feel alert and focused on exam day.
