How I did it: I studied for a few weeks the first time... vocabulary was huge for the test... also be sure to review basic math concepts and do as many practice tests as you can.... the problems are all similar... so the more practice tests you take and review (ones you get wrong).... the better your score. The essay part is pretty easy... I scored pretty high and did not study just make sure it flows well and that you type 65+ wpm (you can play typing games "novelgames.com" to improve how fast you type)

Lessons & tips: Make sure that you sleep well the night before... that you can stay calm... plan ways of handling any nervous energy for some of you. Also make sure to feel confident and be very optimistic :P

Resources: Test preps are pretty cheap and helpful... If you are a minority you can get fee waivers and free test preps, just ask your school
