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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
