Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Ohh, that was where I scored the lowest when I took my SAT's. I even had a prep course. There really aren't very many tips to give. It's so early in the morning it's hard to concentrate. Just try to get a good nights sleep, a healthy breakfast, and try to stay focused. (A good nights sleep and a healthy breakfast keep you awake and not focusing on hunger).
Try to stay focused while reading the passages. What I like to do is read each question and answer choice. Then read the entire passage all the way through. That helps me a lot because when I read the passage I remember a lot of the stuff I'm looking for and underline it. If doing that will just make you skim the passage then don't. You may think it takes longer to read then answer questions, but I've found out through myself and others that it takes a lot longer to look at questions and skim the passage to find them. If you read the passages first then it helps you to remember where the answers may be.
Also answer the questions your positive about first. Then the questions you're pretty sure about. If you can't eliminate at least one answer choice you're better of skipping it. If you can eliminate one or more answer choice then you're better off guessing. If you can't eliminate at least one - DON'T BOTHER GUESSING unless you're REALLY GOOD at guessing!! I learned that in my prep course.
Anyway, if you can't answer them all (this goes for all sections) move on to the next part. Then, if there's time left, go back. Remember you don't lose points for not answering questions! You do lose points if you answer them wrong (except the fill-in-the blank on math, but you know that.
Anyway, I hope my answer helps. I'm not really sure if I'm answering this too late or not. I hope you get this in time though.
Good luck on your SAT!!
