You could technically get a "good score" just by being smart, but an SAT score is based on how well e/o else dod, and most people study. It' s designed to be a measure of intelligence that u don't study for, but the frist time i took it i got a 1290 (out of 1600), and then i studied really hard and got a 1420! there's a huge difference- If you want to do well enough to get into competiteve colleges, you're gonna have to study alot.

The thing about the SAT is that you can't really study for it. It's like an IQ test.. you either know it or you don't. You can bone up on literature and math equations if you want too, you can study history or the french revolution.. it's really not going to make a difference. But Good Luck anyways.

Practice taking sample SAT until you are familiar with the types of questions, formats, timing, and what right answers look like.
Then you can stick to answering just the questions you have the best chance of getting right, and will know which types of questions to skip or guess and not waste time on.
Do all the simpler questions first, and mark the tougher questions and go back and do those later. I found analogies to be the easiest, so I recommend getting a list of all the formats of analogy questions (available in SAT prep books) and learning those patterns.
If you are familiar with the general structure of the questions, you will be more relaxed and focused so you will concentrate better.
That is the least I would recommend.
P.S. I made a 1450 on the SAT back in 1983-84, based on digging my sister's old booklets out of the trash and practicing those. For multiple choice tests, I circle letters in the test book when I know they are right, cross out letters I know are wrong, and put squares or question marks around the question number, or cross them out, to signal which to go back and check or which seem hopeless. (I do not like the comprehension questions, so I generally get the easy fact questions and skip the really really long hard interpretative or analytical questions unless I have time to go back and re-read. I also mark in the essay the location of the quotes or words so it is faster to go back and check or revisit questions later.)
If you develop your own system of making notes, it will help you to check your answers against the marks on your sheet, and also keep track of which questions to focus on that you have a greater chance of getting correct, based on if you are clueless (i.e. any of the 5 could be right, so it is better to guess without wasting time looking which won't help you) or if you have eliminated all but 2 or 3 choices so the chances are better.

Why would you want a good grade on the SATs? Good SAT grades usually mean good placement in schools (with a few other items in consideration) and with that work ethic you won't last at the school. Unless you are just naturally smart and know everything or you are a football player and get your cheerleader girlfriend to do your homework...
(No offense football players or cheerleaders)
