I have a SAT test after exactly one month , so do you think I can be ready for it and bring high score ? I would do anything to get a full scholarship in America .Can anyone tell me what to do to achieve my goal.(14 votes)
You could try taking the practice SAT tests on the official SAT practice page and finding out what you need to improve on. It will show you what the real SAT will be like and help you find the skills you need to develop. I suggest taking the test and reviewing the problems that were incorrect. It will tell you what subtest categories and categories the question was in, and you can see if you need to spend some time with certain subject areas. For example, in my Writing and Language practice test, half of the questions I got wrong were in the category Writing: Argument and the subcategory English Conventions, which means that I need to focus on those areas. Good luck : )(12 votes)

Is there a limited number of practice tests I can take on Khan Academy or can I take as many practice tests as I like?(5 votes)
It's been a while, but here is my answer for anyone asking the same question:
Khan Academy has 8 full-length practice tests which you can find here: https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/exams.
You can reset the exams to retake them, but you'll be taking the exact same tests which isn't going to help much. I'd look online for previously administered exams. You can find plenty on reddit.(3 votes)
- Hello,this is the 1st time I'm starting sat preparation.As I'm a beginner I'm not understanding how to start learning.I have created an account at khan academy but at 1st they are telling me for the test today.But as I want to know what should I learn and how before these daily tests? Are these tests enough for me or there are some lessons and classes also? In one line I just want to know how to study.(4 votes)

- I'm taking the SAT years ahead of time, and i want something to help me with that. Is there a thing for that?(6 votes)
- do i have to take this test since im a senior(2 votes)
- You do not have to take this test on Khan Academy.
You do not have to take this test in order to go to college (several online programs and all community colleges do not require it).
You do not have to take this test if you apply to the University of California, Stanford University, the University of Chicago or an Ivy league school.
You do not have to take this test if you do not plan to go to college or university.
In short, unless you want to take this test personally, or unless someone is holding you for ransom, and insisting you take this test to get free, you do not have to take this test.
Being a senior has NOTHING to do with it.(2 votes)
how do I improve essay writing skills?(2 votes)
Writing the SAT essay is pretty different from a normal essay. Ahead of time, you know that you will have a very specific passage to analyze in a certain way, and your essay will be graded by graders in a very standardized manner. I'd say that the best way to get a good score on the SAT essay (while it won't do as much for your essay writing skills in general) is to develop a sort of specific essay framework that you can apply to most every prompt. This will save you lots of time in thinking about how you want to formulate your essay, and make it so that the only thing you really have to do is think of ideas and fill in the format.
For example, you could say that for every essay, you want an introduction with a sentence or two detailing the context or intention of the piece, and then your thesis. You could, ahead of time, ensure that your essay will flow and have transitions and everything.
Aside from that, you could improve your essay writing by streamlining other parts of the essay. It's known that a longer essay will generally receive more points, so you want to spend as much time writing as you can. If you can quickly read the passage, take some time to gather your thoughts and lay everything out, and start writing right away, you can write more.(2 votes)
