satThe SAT is the key to your future. As such, the SAT is one of the most important exams you'll ever do. But can you tell me why;

* Some people cruise through SAT exams and tests and other students stress out?

* Some students study very hard for SATs and struggle while others study little and pass with good SAT scores?

Surprisingly, it is not natural ability or intelligence that is the key. Certainly these things help, but if you read the following exam and test taking tips you'll pass your SAT with flying colors.

Naturally knowing the relevant SAT information & curriculum is important. There is no substitution for that. But, how you perform on exam day depends on many things. Read on.

SAT Exam/test taking strategies and preparation tips

* 1st SAT Exam Tip: Sleep well the night before your SAT. Nothing replaces this. A well-rested mind usually performs better. SAT Exams can be really tiring, so rest up before.

* 2nd SAT Exam Tip: When they give you the SAT exam paper read all the questions first. Your mind will automatically identify the hard and easy SAT questions. Answer the easy ones first. While doing this, your mind automatically works on the harder SAT questions in the background giving you a better chance.

* 3rd SAT Exam Tip: Before the SAT exam, picture yourself passing the SAT exam easily.Regardless of where you take the SAT, prepare mentally.

* 4th SAT Exam Tip: Get the right brain waves going. I'm not kidding. Research on Brain waves shows that a relaxed mental state, known as the "alpha state", your brain unlocks its memory banks and can retrieve and access your knowledge easily. If you are stressed, nervous or fear failing the SAT your memory banks become constrained. Learn how to access the Alpha State.

* 5th SAT Exam Tip: Relax and control your fear of failure. Handle the worst outcome mentally. Convince yourself that you can handle failure. Of course you can! RELAX! Too serious means too much pressure. Smile when you see the SAT paper. It works.

* 6th SAT Exam Tip: Use mind mapping to prepare for the SAT. Mind mapping is an excellent tool to use for taking notes and recalling information. Learn it to do well on the SAT.

* 7th SAT Exam Tip: Don't prophesize about your results. Silence is Golden. Talking about the test creates pressure. Focus on the info you need in order to do well. Then you'll do better, especially on high-pressure exams like SAT.

* 8th SAT Exam Tip: Concentrate totally on the SAT. Putting all your focus on the SAT exam, and nothing but the SAT exam, will help you tremendously. Forget about the end of term part & the problems at home. The SAT is everything. Make it so, just for a short time.

* 9th SAT Exam Tip: Get into the Mind Of your SAT tester. What do they want to see? Research previous SAT exams. Do plenty of previous SAT papers in preparation. Use all the advantages you have available to you. Ace this SAT!

* 10th SAT Exam Tip: Practice passing. On SAT there are patterns. Learn them. Most of the SAT questions are recurring. Find that pattern!

So prepare well for your SAT and even if you're not the brightest in the class, or a genius at math or science you can still out perform others that are. Use your SAT tips to good advantage.
