To determine how many hours per day you should study for the SAT leading up to December 7th, you need to consider a few factors:
-
Total Study Hours Needed: Estimate how many hours you believe you'll need to prepare adequately. This could range from 40 to 100 hours depending on your current level, goals, and the time you have left.
-
Number of Days Until December 7: Calculate the number of days available from now until December 7. For example, if today is October 1, that's roughly 67 days (including October and November plus the first week of December).
-
Daily Study Requirement: Divide the total number of study hours by the number of available days.
For example:
- If you decide you need 60 hours of study:
- There are approximately 67 days until December 7.
- Daily study requirement = 60 hours ÷ 67 days ≈ 0.9 hours/day (about 54 minutes/day).
If you need more time, you can adjust your total study hours based on your confidence level and readiness.
-
Consistency: It’s often better to study consistently over time (e.g., an hour daily) rather than cramming.
-
Breaks and Review: Make sure to include time for practice tests and review, which are essential for SAT preparation.
Once you have a clearer idea of your goals, you can set a daily study schedule that works for you. Good luck!
