Throughout high school or Junior College, we are told that without a good SAT we will not be admitted into a worthwhile US university, meaning we will never get a decent job! This kind of scenario places a huge amount of pressure on SAT takers. It’s true that a good SAT score will help you on your path to higher education; however, it is not a predictor for your success in life. That’s why I’ve found some famous celebrities and their SAT scores to illustrate that the test is only one part of getting into college and does not determine your chances of success.

For many students, preparing for the SAT is not exactly a favorite activity.  You have to put a lot of time and effort into SAT revision if you want a high score. The most important thing to remember when it comes to SAT is that it is not the quantity but the quality that counts. Staring at a blank piece of paper for an hour will get you nowhere. I’ve listed some options below to help make your SAT revision more enjoyable and effective!

What a happy day - the one all you eager students have been waiting for! Well, for some of you, at least.
