The easiest way to improve your SAT score is to focus on your strengths and create a personalized plan. Here are some fast ways to raise your SAT score.

    • Time management

A good SAT score is dependent on time management. It does not imply that you should only be ‘quick.’ Accuracy is also required. So take your time, think about the question, and then pick the best response.

    • Elimination is the guideline to follow.

In multiple-choice questions, either all four answers appear to be accurate or all four appear to be incorrect. Follow the rule of elimination to get out of the trap. That is, rather than looking for reasons why a choice is correct, it is preferable to look for reasons why it is incorrect. Eliminate it once you’ve come up with a compelling argument why it may be incorrect. Continue in this manner until you have only one right answer.

    • A glance at the Passage

The reading of passages takes the most time. It is simple for a rapid reader, but it is difficult for a slow reader. Focusing on the first and last paragraphs to comprehend the author’s point of view is a better technique to accomplish it faster. Then, for the remaining text, read the initial and end lines to obtain the paragraph’s mental indexes.

    • Know the Question types

Exams like the SAT that is free of gimmicks and traps are a pipe dream. The questions and prompts, particularly in the arithmetic portion, are confusing, and most applicants avoid the question by running around the prompt. The prompt is a description, and the question is the final section that you must answer.

    • Use choices wisely

It is recommended that you glance at the answers before beginning to solve arithmetic problems. You may be able to tackle the problem more efficiently or correctly. For example, instead of solving an algebra problem using a long equation, use the trial and error technique. It helps you save a lot of time.

    • Plan your writing.

If you write an essay that flows well, you can improve your grade. Organize your thoughts, decide how you’ll deliver them, and then put them into action. Begin with an introduction and conclude with a suitable conclusion that summarizes all of the ideas from the essay’s body. To gain a clear picture of your essay, make sure you describe specifics in the body. Never overlook the need for proofreading.

    • Practice

This is the most essential tip. Only through practice will you be able to apply all of the mentioned recommendations. The more you practice, the higher your score will be.
