O.K., here's a very quick guide
on how to do well on the SAT.
I do a lot of SAT tutoring,
so I know about what I'm talking about.
(There goes my assistant.)
Now, SAT is a standardized test,
which means that, unless you change something that you do,
(Meow.) (Yes.)
your results are going to be the same, more or less,
every time, and so, if you want better results,
you have to change how it is that you are taking the test,
and, so, you need to learn a better way to take the test,
and you need to practice that better way,
and not practice the same old way that you usually do it;
otherwise, test day, you'll just do it the same old way,
and get the same old results.
and you certainly don't want to do that.
The three basic things that I would tell you,
and there are lots of others,
but, you know, you don't have a lot of time
—the SAT is tomorrow, whatever it is.
Number one, read slowly;
number two, cover the answers;
and, number three, write everything down and double check.
That's...counts as one, because it's about the same thing, really.
As far as reading slowly,
even on the math, I find, what a lot of students do, is they read the problem too quickly,
somehow thinking they're going to get extra points for that,
and then they misunderstand something and they get the problem wrong,
and, so, if you try to read too fast, you're going to lose points,
and if you, instead, take the time to thoroughly understand what you read—
and, on the reading, that would be reading the passage
very slowly, for understanding, the first time—
you will actually gain points.
It's hard to believe, but it's far better than reading it quickly,
getting to the question, not knowing what you read,
going back, reading it again, getting to the next question,
not knowing that you read, you know, you get the idea.
Number two, cover the answers, and
this may seem a little odd, but
especially on the ones that have long answers,
it takes way too much time to read all those wrong answers,
especially when you're smart enough —at least I'm pretty sure you are—
to come up with your own answer to the question,
you know, let's say 90% of time, all right?
So, when you get to the question, cover the answers. Come up with your own answer first!
If it says, "What is the main idea of the passage?", think:
"Well, what do I think the main idea of the passage is?",
and think about it, not for too long, but
long enough to do your own thinking, come up with an answer that sounds good to you,
and then look at the answers and, usually, you won't really have to look at all four answers,
because the right one will just jump right out at you,
saving you time and just making your life a lot easier this is especially true on the
writing section as you read that underlined word you know what should go
there or you have an idea what should go there so take some time to think of that
idea have that confidence that you will be able to do that and once you have an
idea what you think you would rather see there take a look at the answers and
usually there it will be so much faster there too on the map
especially you want to write everything down and what I used to do I used to
read the question and I think okay now what and reread the question and that
takes time you know it's a time to test you don't want to do that so as you're
reading it the first time if there's a formula in here write down the formula
even if it's already up there you know if there's a diagram
complicated we don't have to write down the diagram obviously it's already there
but what the formula is better to put it down in your workspace and write down
everything that they tell you if they say Bob and Mary or you know whatever
draw a little stick figure Bob a little stick figure Mary make everything as
visual as we possibly can and write down everything that they tell
you and that includes the question a lot of times on SAT they say what is X plus
3 and you do a whole bunch of algebra you get down to where you get x equals 5
you're so excited yeah x equals 5 I'm done
you bubble in x equals 5 and forget to look at the question which is what was X
plus 3 oh whoops that happens a lot of messy T it's a tricky test that way so
write down everything that they tell you in the question and then write down
everything you know if they tell you this is a square and one side is 10
units long mark tens on the other sides of the square you know that mark
90-degree angles in all the corners because so often the SAT will tell you a
certain amount and from that amount you're supposed to be able to know some
other things and and you do know those other things so write those things down
where you can see them anything you keep in your head is something you may forget
and will keep you from getting an answer if it's not written down so make
everything visual write down everything they tell you everything you know from
what they tell you write down all the calculations you do because if you want
to lose points on the map just do things in your head you know try and do as much
as possible in your head and you'll lose as many points as possible now if you
want to gain points there write everything down and as you do each
calculation two times five is six like what what no three times five is fifteen
see I will just double-check that because it's that stupid mistake in the
middle there it will just cost you those points
and so then again you know to reiterate then the main points read slowly it's
not a reading test so reading comprehension test for example and even
the math is a reading comprehension test cover the answers and do your own
thinking because you will go faster through the test Iowa and get more right
answers if you think for yourself instead of having to try and make each
of the wrong answers be a right answer somehow and the last one is specially on
the math write everything down and double-check everything as you go so
keep these three in mind as you practice read slowly cover the answers write
everything down and if you'll do that as you practice and the more you practice
that way the better you'll do when it comes time to take the actual test and
well good luck if you have questions I sure you can put them in the comments
