The night before is the least important, but probably the most beneficial. In order to get a good night sleep listen to calm music, slow your breathing, and take a warm bath. Listening to calm music while laying down can mentally calm you down causing you to become relaxed and sleepy. Not only that, the number one solution to not following asleep is the breathing rate. Slowing and regulating your breathing will slow down the heart and you will become tired. Also, taking a warm or hot bath can relieve muscle tension and let the body loosen itself, allowing for a relaxing and faster sleep.

Studying for the SAT is more stressful than any other preparation in this list. The best ways to study for the SAT are to determine the target score, determine how long you need to study, and analyze and focus on your weakest points.
