Studying for the SAT and ACT doesn't have to be a solemn, solitary endeavor. Put together a Study Club at your school and watch your love for the test blossom! (Okay, maybe it won't quite blossom.) It might sound geeky, but studying in a group can be a great motivator. It also offers everyone involved the opportunity to share experiences, strategies, study methods, and frustrations.

Study clubs can be organized in an informal manner, limited to your friends and friend's friends who are also taking the test. But if you're the kind of person who can't do anything small, go all out and make the SAT or ACT study club an official school organization through your school's club application channels. This process might be more time-consuming, with time devoted to advertising, electing officers, setting up meetings, and devising agendas. But the variety of members you might attract by spreading the word could completely transform the way you look at the exam.
