Winter break is now two weeks behind us and some of you might still be finding it difficult to get back into the study groove. For those of you taking the SAT in a couple of weeks, this lack of motivation has the potential to be a real problem. So how do you jump start your SAT prep routine? Here are some ideas that might help.
Remember, it's a new month, a new year and a new decade. You've got a clean slate. All of your frustrations, anxieties, confusions and mistakes about the SAT are a thing of the past. You don't have to make a new year's resolution to study well—just start doing it on a daily basis. Study for 30 minutes each day to get yourself into a good habit. You'll see much better results in a short time. Once you feel comfortable with 30 minutes, you can try for longer study sessions every other day. After a while, you won't have to give yourself a pep talk before every session; it will become one of those things you do without thinking about it, like watching TV.
