¿Vale la pena el SAT si no es obligatorio? | Preparación SAT | Mariana de México 🇲🇽

Does it make sense to prepare for the SAT if no university requires it? Mariana, a student at Eton School in Mexico, did it anyway—and in this video, she explains why it was one of the best decisions she made to strengthen her profile as a college applicant in the United States. Mariana shares how she balanced SAT preparation with IB mock exams and semester exams, why she recommends starting at least a year and a half in advance, and what trick changed her approach to the test: simulating the real exam 100%, including scheduling, sleep hours, and using a 32-minute timer. She also explains how the adaptive modules of the digital SAT work—and why what happens in module one determines the maximum score in module two.
