DEVELOP AND EXECUTE AN ACTION PLAN

Your personalized Action Plan should be based on your needs and the time you have to prepare. We recommend a multi-week study plan that will provide excellent preparation for the SAT Exam

EXECUTE YOUR PLAN
  • Allot adequate time to study EACH WEEK for the SAT
  • Work at an even, steady pace and DO NOT OBSESS over ANY ONE QUESTION
  • SKIP THE MOST DIFFICULT QUESTIONS and come back to them
  • ELIMINATE all of the choices that you know are wrong and make an educated guess from the remaining answer choices
  • ATTACK the questions you need to attack to achieve your DESIRED SCORE
  • DO NOT RUSH to complete any particular question or section
  • Know how many RAW POINTS you need to achieve your SCORE GOAL

UNDERSTAND THE SAT/ACT TEST FORMATS

One of the goals of the SAT overhaul is to make the test more straightforward, so many of its structural oddities (like the wrong answer penalty) have been eliminated.

The College Board is also streamlining the structure by including only one section of each type (except for the math), rather than three.

The ACT structure, on the other hand, is staying mostly the same.

The New SAT has only one reading section and one writing section—the math section is divided into a calculator portion and a no-calculator portions.

The sections will always be in the same order. The test will be 3 hours, plus the optional essay. The exact breakdown, in order, looks like this:
  • Reading: 52 questions, 65 minutes
  • Writing and Language: 44 questions, 35 minutes
  • Math: no calculator—20 questions,  25 min; with calculator—38 questions, 55 min
  • Optional essay: 1 prompt, 50 min
Picture
The basic ACT structure and timing is remaining the same, with the exception of the new essay, which will be longer.
  • English: 75 questions, 45 min
  • Math: 60 questions, 60 min
  • Reading: 40 questions, 35 min
  • Science: 40 questions, 35 min
  • Optional writing: 1 prompt, 40 min
