During the SAT
- Answer all the easy questions first and then the hard ones. (Except for reading passages, questions appear roughly in increasing order of difficulty for each block of questions.)
- Eliminate as many wrongs answer choices as possible and improve your chances of guessing correctly
- Don't get bogged down on any one question. Pace yourself. Practice tests are an excellent way to improve your pacing.
- It's OK to write in your test booklet. Mark questions you are uncertain about so you can come back for a second look; circle ones you have skipped.
- Don't leave stray marks on the answer sheet. The scoring machine will see two marks and count it as a wrong answer.
- Check frequently that you are bubbling in the right spots on your answer sheet. (It's easy to get off by a question.)
- Relax and remember that you don't have to answer every question to do well.
