As you begin your SAT preparation, remember that this journey is both challenging and rewarding. You’ll face a variety of question types and concepts, but each practice session is an opportunity to improve. The SAT is about more than just knowledge—it’s about problem-solving skills and time management, so focus not only on mastering content but also on refining your test-taking strategies.
As you begin preparing for the SAT, remember that this is just the beginning of an important journey. While the path ahead may seem challenging, every bit of effort you put in brings you closer to your goal. The SAT tests not only your knowledge but also your ability to think critically and work efficiently under time constraints. So, it’s crucial to focus on both mastering the material and developing effective strategies.
To apply to TOP 30 U.S. universities, you'll generally need a high SAT score: top 10 schools (e.g., Harvard, Stanford) typically require 1460-1600, schools ranked 11-20 (e.g., Columbia, Yale) usually expect 1400-1550, and schools ranked 21-30 (e.g., Duke, Brown) often look for 1350-1500.
Many schools now have a test-optional policy, allowing students to choose whether to submit SAT scores. However, submitting a strong SAT score can still enhance your application, especially for more competitive schools.
To strengthen your SAT application, participate in subject-related competitions. In math, join the AMC or MCM/ICM. For physics, consider the USAPhO or Physics Bowl, and for chemistry, the USNCO or Chemistry Challenge.
