I have about 3-4 months or even more,I have downloaded the resources available over here.
I wanted to ask how tough it is and what is the score i should be targeting, In my mind currently there is a score of something 2250-2300 would that be fine. Thank you

You can't target a score before you do a practice test. Get a book (Princeton Review or the Official SAT Study Guide) and complete a practice test and see your score. 2250 is really difficult by the way. You can judge how tough it is by these tests. Personally, Maths is easy and there is no time management problem. The difficult things are completing a 2 page essay in 25 mins (practically very difficult, google alot of tips on this), the fact they have some fill-in-the-blank MCQs where the choices some words are present that you'll never ever study, comprehensions in very, very limited time. You also need an excellent grasp of Grammar otherwise you need work in the Writing Section.

If you found O Level Maths easy, you'll find SAT-I Maths incredibly easy.

There is no summer for the SAT (as in summer vacations) by the way. The next three sessions are on May, June and October. I'd recommend giving your first try in May or June (depending on whichever date is suitable and farther away from your final exams). http://sat.collegeboard.org/register/sat-international-dates Loads of time to adequately prepare yourself.

Thank's a lot for a great reply.Yep I have heard,English is quite a lot hard.Thank's for the book suggestion to I would definitely give a try.I have done IGCSE Maths as well as Additional Mathematics,so I think i could find Math's easy.But just one more doubt, I have heard there are quite a lot difficult words and you need to learn about 1000 something words is it truth,Because I have learned a lot of words for IGCSE English-Literature would those words come in handy.Once again Thank's.

Brilliant. Well, you have 19 sentence completion questions.

They are kind of like:

The race for the Barclays Premier League is ----, both Chelsea and Manchester City have a good chance of winning it.

A) close
B) raw
C) nonexistent
D) boring
E) one-sided

This is an incredibly easy example question (sports almost never comes, I haven't seen a question yet). Technically, in those blanks, especially the tougher ones, there are very difficult words in the blanks which you might not know about and one of them could be the answer. Thus, the stronger the vocabulary, the better. I advise starting as soon as you can. It also helps in comprehensions and the grammar questions.

I choose (E). You second statement is nullified. Manchester City are going to win the title. So it is a one-sided race.

 

[MarcoReus]

Ambiguous, so wrong. ETS might let it slide though, I mean everyone knows Chelsea is winning.

 

[Copy Cat]

Ofcourse it is A. Just read the second sentence.

Good Luck
In Sha Allah you will do well.

So how did it went?
I have a question I heard there are sections right,Like 2 20 mins or something like that.
So in that case like papers are given to us all at once or are given one at a time.
