You should know –          

  • First study the direction of each SAT section and get familiar with section directions before the test. On test, day-use your time for the test, not for section directions.           
  • Even get familiar with the time and number of questions in each section.      
  • Bring your watch or timer and set the time 5 minutes early before the end time to review all the answers properly.
  • Read all the questions of each section first and mark the easy questions.
  • If you are not sure of the correct answer, use the answer booklet to mark the answers. Now mark the final answers in the bubble sheet. 
  • In fact avoid stray marks in the bubble sheets as the bubble sheet scored by the machine. Usually, tests score by machine cannot differentiate between correct answers and stray marks.
  • Fill the grid-in answers correctly and neatly in the Math Grid-in section.
  • Use #2HB pencil to fill the bubble sheet. 

Strategy to answer the questions in SAT–
