I know exactly what you are saying. I don't see how there is any way to study for the sat, I sure didn't. It's not a test of facts, its just common sense IMHO, if it wasn't I would have studied. Either way I see what you are saying.
Theres plenty of ways to study for the sats. Practice questions, tests, etc. Hell even reading the dictionary could help. Though oddly enough I scored lower on my 2nd try after studying a little than my first try.
