Tip of the Week
Keep checking that you are placing your answer in the correct section and number on the answer sheet.
Donīt 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 youīre allotted for each one and how much time remains.
Bring a watch to the test center. You canīt be guaranteed that thereīll be a working clock there.
Donīt change an answer unless youīre 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.
Know the Question Types to Expect on the SAT I: * 19 analogies * 19 sentence completion * 40 reading comprehension * 35 math multiple-choices * 15 quantitative comparisons * 10 student-produced responses
