There's a lot of things that a youngster can do to prepare for a standardized test. You can go to a bookstore, for example, and buy SAT Prep tests and there's tons of materials there. You can talk to your counselor usually high schools have either a career counselor in a career center that has those books there available for student checkout or there's a specified twelfth grade counselor that knows a lot about scholarships or testing requirements and that person can provide guidance for the students and for parents. Oftentimes, there's meetings that the high school provides for those parents that are ready to have their students attend or take these SAT tests or PSAT tests. So you can ask questions in those parent meetings. So look for bulletins that come out from the guidance department.
