You should start preparing for SAT 3-4 months before your actual SAT exam date. This time is suggested so that you can cover SAT exam syllabus and also take practice tests. There may be few who would require more prep time. In this case they should plan their schedules as per their exam dates. SAT preparation months will give applicants understanding of exam, how it is structured and how to attempt it as well.
