Re: How much to study for the act/sat
Study on all the spare time you have, and thoroughly read sparknotes... I scored a 26 on the ACT and a 1790 on the SAT and that is pretty much all I did.

But I do recommend preparing your approach more than anything. These tests pretty much measure your will and ability to problem solve and analyze on the fly. For the SAT, I would expand your vocabulary (like Vogel said above), and the ACT, heavily prepare yourself for the science portion if everything else is ok for you. It was the science portion that held me back tremendously.

That said, good luck buddy, and good luck to all the test takers out there.

-Joe

PS: and I pray you have a cool proctor... that usually helps and lowers the nervousness of the situation.
