this is especially for all my juniors out there who want to get their testing in before college apps start, but for underclassmen, if you have the time, definitely start studying now! it’ll make your junior career so, so much easier.
the whole world of test prep is strange and competitive and overwhelming, and chances are that you’ll hear at some point that you absolutely need a private tutor to do well on standardized testing; it’s the only way! nope, nope, nope.
it might be nice, but it’s entirely possible to do well with only the help of the internet (and maybe a prep book or two if you can spend a little money). i scored a 2300 on the sat, a 35 on the act, and two 800s and a 760 on my sat subject tests this way.
i’m definitely not a genius, and i didn’t have any sort of outside help. you can do it too!! and i want to do whatever i can to make sure you get the scores you want on your tests, so i’ve made a list of free resources.
(note: if you do choose to buy prep books, only go with those directly from the maker of the test – i.e. college board and the act; official tests are definitely give you the most helpful and most accurate results when you’re studying).
