Taking college entrance exams is critical to getting into one's first choice selection. Counselors and parents tell you that professional SAT/ACT test prep is recommended. There is a lot of competition and you want to score well above average. You can't go into it blindly expecting the best when everyone has been busy studying day and night! The hours you put weeks ahead in will be reflected in your scores, and there are ways to boost them with time and effort.

It is recommended to begin prep from six to eight weeks ahead of schedule, depending upon how much material you expect to cover. Be consistent in your effort. Work in a fixed area at a given time of day to make it a regular routine. Decide your weaknesses and strengths to concentrate most on what is needed and special time on the tough stuff.

Six to eight weeks before the exam, you should have acquired and assembled your study materials. You can order them online or borrow from a friend who has already passed the tests. Adopting the right mental set is the next phase of the on-going process. Now you are ready to begin.

Before taking the test, learn what is typically on the exams. No doubt it will entail basic math and English grammar in equal proportion. You should have an idea of your standing from the practice tests as well as the format of the questions and how long you have to respond. It won't be a mysterious and you will feel more confident and relaxed when the time comes.

Take all practice tests diligently on all subjects as a good brush up tool. You will come to understand the format of the ultimate battery of tests and typically how long it takes to answer a multiple choice question. You will thus familiarize yourself with the exams to ease your mind and alleviate stress.

You'll also want to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Start with your diet. Be sure to eat a meal that is well balanced and high in protein before you take the test. It is also important to sleep well the night before. Staying up late to study is actually counter-productive to what you're trying to accomplish. Pack everything you need the night before so you're not stressing about it in the morning.

You will want to eat healthy and well with lots of protein and carbs for energy. Don't get dehydrated as it will make you tired. Plan what to wear and take with you the night before so you are fresh and ready in the morning with nothing but the test in mind.

In the long run, if you heed to the advice of prepping for these important career altering exams, you will prevail and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It is all about attitude and having the self-assurance to answer the questions with confidence. The outcome will no doubt be commensurate with the effort put in, so strive for maximum study time as you can.
