How to Prepare for the SAT<br />

By Kitty Yu<br />

Talking SAT<br />

3. Know the Test Structure<br />

Questions on the SAT are in ascending<br />

order of difficulty. This means that<br />

questions at the beginning of a section<br />

are easier than those at the end. Knowing<br />

this, you shouldn’t spend equal<br />

amounts of time on each SAT question.<br />

The questions at the beginning of each section should be<br />

easily and quickly answered, allowing you to save time<br />

devoted towards the harder questions at the end. You<br />

should answer detail-oriented questions first, saving<br />

general questions about the passage for the end.<br />

4. Study the Vocabulary<br />

Studying vocabulary is a really easy way to increase your<br />

SAT score, especially if you study smart. Make some<br />

flashcards and you can study vocab whenever you have a<br />

few free time—waiting in line at the restaurant, during<br />

recess, in the car… This practice expand your vocabulary<br />

on the sentence completion questions and the reading<br />

comprehension Portion of the test.<br />
