How many hours should I study the SAT/ACT each day?
Well, I can advise for the Math portion of the test…it really isn’t something you can “study” for in the classical sense. It is a test more on your ability to reason & think analytically, rather than memorizing formulas or stuff like that. The SAT questions are mostly different than the kind you would see on a typical Algebra, Geometry, or Pre-Calculus test. Indeed, you don’t even need to work the entire problem out, or understand the problem perfectly to get the right answer. Several of the problems can be solved by recognizing a shortcut or technique that makes the initial problem much easier. Using & implementing key mathematical concepts (such as the sum of all the angles in a triangle are 180, determining facts about a line from its equation, and making sure you have a common denominator before adding or subtracting fractions) can greatly simplify your life. Either you know how to use them or you don’t. You can also use special strategies unique to multiple choice tests. Often y
