The SAT is scored on a scale of 400 to 1600, with the Reading and Writing sections combined to make up a score of 400-800, and the Math section also contributing a score of 400-800. The optional Essay is scored separately.

Here’s a quick rundown of the key strategies for taking the SAT:

• Time Management: Each section has a specific time limit, so you’ll need to pace yourself and allocate enough time to answer each question. Practice timed tests to improve your speed.
• Answer Every Question: There’s no penalty for wrong answers, so it’s better to guess than leave a question blank.
• Review Your Mistakes: After practice tests, review the questions you got wrong. Understanding why you made a mistake will help you avoid it in the future.

With consistent practice, understanding the test structure, and applying test-taking strategies, you’ll be able to approach the SAT with confidence.
