Monitor your time during practice tests - Monitoring your time during practice tests is also a good plan when preparing for the pressures of test day. Don’t wait until the official exam day to get a feel for what 65 minutes gives you time to complete.
Read questions first, then read the passage - Reading the questions first is a great time management tool, especially if you are able to make reference notes for the lines that have questions tied to them.
Build up your testing endurance - When you take SAT practice exams, consider doing all of the sections rather than practicing one section at a time. By taking the test in its entirety, you can build up your test-taking endurance.
Answer the easiest questions first - By answering the easiest questions first, you will likely have time to go back and answer the more challenging questions at the end.
Don't spend too much time on any given question - If you find yourself getting hung up on one question, it is a good idea to move on and come back to it later.
Practice Taking SAT Reading as Part of the Whole SAT - It's important to take at least some practice tests all the way through in the correct order so that you can get used to what it feels like to take the full test.
Use the process of elimination - This classic technique is tried and true for a reason. For each question, only one answer choice is 100% correct. If you can’t find evidence to support your correct answer, look for evidence that eliminates the other options.
Make notes as you read to avoid re-reading large sections of a passage - it's important to make notes before reading. This note-taking can be as simple as underlining a word choice that seems important or labeling a paragraph that changes the mood of the story.
