Check out these 2 YouTube channels for excellent SAT videos. I like Settele for grammar and Tutorllini for math.

Longer transition word list vs. Meltzer list:

Get your admission ticket! 

1-5 days before test day, go to the Bluebook homepage and find your SAT under Your Tests. 

Complete the short exam setup, and get your admission ticket. You can take a picture of your admission ticket, print it, or email it to yourself.

If you need to make any changes to your admission ticket, you can update your admission ticket until 3 days before your test by contacting customer service (at collegeboard.org/contact-us). 

Gameplan for the test!

Decide which type of problems you are more likely to guess and mark for review if they are confusing and you now know are troublesome from your practice tests. Last minute prep? Just go over the trickiest concepts and formulas that you need to remember. Look at old problems you got wrong or didn't know how to solve. No need to cram and stay up late!

Friday afternoon/evening:

Get all of the stuff you need for test day as early as possible: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/what-to-bring-do/what-to-bring . Plan your clothing outfit, what snacks and drinks, charge your device! Saturday morning, you want to rest your brain from making any decisions until the test!

Grind some of YT videos and cheat sheets below if you still feel the need to study or memorize some last bits.

If you are debating studying or going to bed, go to bed! If you feel nervous, you're human just like everyone else. Take a deep breath and do some self-talk.

YOUTUBE VIDEOS YOU CAN GRIND: The links below contain the best videos I have found... I think Mike Settele does the best job of the content creators that I have viewed with short videos and clear explanations.
