Why should I take time to study for the SAT?
Students these days are very busy. Homework, extracurricular, and social activities all compete for attention, and finding the extra time to study for the SAT can really put a crimp in your schedule.
Yet in terms of the benefit to your college application, studying for the SAT is probably the best and most efficient use of your limited time.
Think about it.
Most colleges give about the same weight to your SAT score as they give to your entire grade point average.
This means that time spent studying for the SAT is worth as much as all of the time you will spend studying for all of your classes since you first began high school!
When you look at it this way, studying for the SAT suddenly seems like a pretty smart use of your time.
