SAT Final Strategy List

Every SAT test taker has her own strategies to roll back on. Collegepanda.com is no exception. But what I liked most is the way the author has brought out each PROBLEM area and Categorised them under Headings. So, here it goes = a FRESH list of things you could just check over and compare them with your OWN PERSONAL list of things for SAT.

 Look at him!

College-Panda maintains a Blog-run of posts related to Tricky-problems in SAT = find the link Below
  1. SAT Math Trouble Areas
Secondly, there is a page where Panda keeps a list of things related to Writing. However, my favourite is the 18 Grammar Rules. I have done the same with you in the class. 
Finally, a list of Problem Area selections for Reading section. Panda suggests that you should read the passage first and then answer Q. But if it is Q first, and then Passage, you are probably a GOOD reader. I find this observation very solid. 
Panda, through his experience of SAT has gathered some wisdom about the Test. Here is a summary. Search your OWN list of wisdom as well. 
  1. Concept first = strategy and timing, second.
  2. Official Tests are Gold Standard = do it more.
  3. Look for wrong answers First.
  4. Your Vocabulary determines your Reading ability.
NOW = I have a list of LEAST Common Skills in Math areas, where you must put your footprint. Find more about making FULL Score on Math Section in the following link. It has some of the best strategy discussions. The table I have added is also from this link.
