OVERALL TEST TACTICS: 2

Keep checking that you are placing your answer in the correct section and number on the answer sheet. Don´t spend too much time on any one question. You should spend only seconds on the easiest questions, and hesitate to spend more than 1-2 minutes on even the hardest ones. Practice, practice, practice! Remember that the SAT consists of a series of small, timed, mini-tests. Keep track of the time you´re allotted for each one and how much time remains. Bring a watch to the test center. You can´t be guaranteed that there´ll be a working clock there. Don´t change an answer unless you´re sure you made an error. Read the words in the question carefully. Be sure to answer the question asked and not the question you recall from a practice test.
