Studying for the SAT as early as possible

Acing multiple tests is another way to play the game well. Kevin Chow started at age 11 by taking a prep course for the SAT he would take in high school. By sixth grade he dreamed of Stanford.

While he acknowledges that that may have been extreme, most students applying to college now take a course before they sit for the SAT.
