I took the SAT 4-ish years ago (junior year HS), and this is just wishful thinking. I mean, all you've said is what is pretty self-evidently true, almost tautological: Be smart and you'll do well on the test. Well, obviously. If you were a genius you would not need to study very much at all for most things, SAT or not. The point is that the best way to practice for the SAT, assuming you need practice is to take many tests.
