And specifically about studying for the SAT test.

My daughter went through a class on the SAT and I also taught one for a while, so I have a few thoughts on the matter.

1. Vocabulary lists do help.
2. Learning test techniques help.
3. Understanding the viewpoint the questions are written helps.
4. Reading is a great way to expand your vocabulary.
5. Practice, practice, and practice.
