How much time should be spent in preparation?
In general, we recommend four to six weeks of preparation for a Subject Test. A tutor can help a student more quickly acclimatize himself with the format of the test, highlight the SAT test taking methods that most directly apply to that test, and provide content review for those topics with which a particular student may struggle. Weekly practice tests either as homework or in a timed and proctored environment serve to both chart progress and pinpoint subject areas for focused review. A student who is forced, whether by the testing calendar or college admissions requirements, to take a test for which he is not well prepared may require more time and focused study.
