Are the SATs hard

Answer 1

They can be hard. You need to prepare for the test. If you are better prepared, you will likely do much better. Also remember that tests can be retaken if you didn't like your first score. You do them at the end of KS1(Year 2) and KS2(Year 6)

It's normal to feel agitated and nervous at first however it is just a part of life. Nowadays some schools are boycotting sats on the other hand some think they are essentialy vital.

As the first answer had said if you prepare you will find it easy, it is merely the truth.

If your lacking your knowledge then how will you succeed?

My advice is to revise every night alternatively not too much consequently your memory will be jumbled up and you won't be able to answer ANY questions. Go through everything you've learnt. Don't panic! Be calm. Believe in yourself and you will find the day your results come in your proud of oneself. Do your personal best. Reach your full potential. It's not about ebing competitive and thinking others have a greater amount than you, its about your ability. Your succession...

Don't want to scare you but SAT is pretty hard...for the people who do not practice. When taking SAT practice is the key word. There are plenty of sites that have a variety of practice tests.As a techer I would recommend examville.com. The questions are timed, and each answer had explaination so that one can understand the mistakes. There is a faciity of live classes availabel to clear the doubts, i any.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You really cannot say. This is fully dependent on how you think as a student. It would be best for you to buy a practice book and look through a couple example tests. This will give you a much better scope of how difficult it is. The variety of questions and types of questions will also cater to some people much better than others.

Answer 1: Yes. And the law schools want it that way. The LSAT, plus the intentional difficulty of the first of the three years of law school, are intended to weed-out those who won't be good lawyers. So, yes, the LSAT is hard...

...but, that said, it's not rocket science (or brain surgery, pick, your analog), either.

There are LSAT exam prep books/guides and websites which can help a lot; and there are, if you can afford them (because they're expensive) LSAT exam preparation courses you can take. So, if you're serious about passing the LSAT, then it can be prepared/studied for.

The trick with any of these kinds of standardized tests is practice, practice, practice. Once you've taken one of the online or in-classroom LSAT exam prep courses; and once you've worked your way through one or more of the books/guides which also helps to prepare you for the LSAT...

...find practice questions and drill, drill, drill. Drill until you can't stand it anymore; and then buckle down and keep going. Practice, practice, practice... question, after question, after question... over and over over, again, until you almost want to open a vein. Then do it some more. And even more.

That's how to pass any standardized exam... be it the LSAT, or the bar exam, once you've graduated from law school and want to become a lawyer.

The trick is to create the brain equivalent of "muscle memory;" to make not only the right answer, when you know it, be obvious...

...but also -- and this is the key to it all -- to have had so much practice that you can intuit/guess the likely best answer even when you don't know it.

Practice, practice, practice, I tell you... and then practice some more. Do that, and you'll do fine on the LSAT (assuming, of course, that you've done fine in school and all its exams, just generally, up to that point; practice can't, after all, substitute for not being properly educated in the first place).

Answer 5

I just got back from taking the SSAT in order to get into a New York City private High School today. The test is not as hard as you think it will be. When I took it, it consisted of about 150 questions all together. There are 4 sections. Section #1 is 25 questions and is math, some problem solving as well as some simple questions and ablity. Section 2 is 40 reading comprehension questions in which you will have 40 minutes. Section 3 is the longest and is 60 questions of very advanced vocabulary and similarities such as paint is to brush as pen is to ink. The final section is another 25 question math section. The test overall is about 3 hours. It is a very hard test and does require studying, but it is not ridiculously hard. I would have to say that the hardest section would be the math sections. Some of the questions were very easy, but some were very hard. Timewise the test is easy and I did have enough time to answer all of the questions.

Answer 6

Well, you can't say how hard it is. It really depends on how much you study or the knowledge you received throughout the years. Personally, i think the test is pretty challenging but, at the same time, its simple. The only things that you should be concerned about is studying, time restriction, and reading carefully!

Answer 7

YES. I took it to get into private school, and yep indeed it was difficult.

Answer 8

Well it depends on how well you know the subject. If you are doing it soon then good luck :)

Answer 9

Yes, it is very hard. You must study for months to prepare for it and mainly study vocabulary (analogies and definitions), english topics and math.
