How to Register for the SAT for Dummies

Believe it or not, some people don't know how to register for the SAT. If that's you, then keep reading. Also, you can send this info to people who need it.

How to Register for the SAT:
1. Go to this site:
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/reg.html

Tips
1. Location, location, location. Be sure to register at a place where the desks are a little bigger. I found that Capistrano High was a good place. IVC is good too, but UCI is not (their desks are too small).
2. Study! Buy the Collegeboard's Official SAT Study Guide. Either the 2008 (1st edition) or the 2009 (2nd edition) will work. Others also recommend buying a book from Barron's, but I find the Official study guide is good enough.
3. Practice! The best way to raise your points is to keep doing practice tests (all of 10 of them). Remember to conduct the tests in a quiet place, and to go through it all at once (4 hours).

If you follow these steps, you should expect a decent score.

Good luck!
