Wow. I can't believe I am taking the SAT this Saturday. This is crazy. I want to do so well but I haven't been able to study much! What are some tips? How is taking it at a different school? How many questions should I strive to answer in each section? Help!

I'm pretty certain the SAT is the same everywhere. You should strive to answer as many questions as possible. However, if you don't know the answer to a question, try to narrow it down to two answers, but if you don't have a single clue what's going on, it's best you skip the question. Also, try not to spend an eternity on questions you don't get. I usually allow myself a max of 1 min per question.

You should really try and study and take at least one practice test, so that you can figure out what your weaknesses are and get a feel for what the test is like, if you haven't taken the PSAT.

Thanks!
I scored a 180 out of 240 on my PSAT, which is 61 on CR, 64 on Math and 54 on Writing. I have to answer less questions on writing (I think I'm always too confident on the writing.)

SATs are standardized so it's unlikely to be any different anywhere else it or wouldn't "work" (I think it's flawed anyway but what do I know, I'm not American).

Good luck though!
