Test-day strategy
Knowledge alone isn’t enough; managing your time makes the difference between a good score and a great one.

Plan for each section
- Time ≈ one minute per question. Short verbal ones are faster, so save that time for passages and geometry.
- A hard question: flag it and move on, then return from the review screen.
- Before ending a section: make sure nothing is left blank.
- If unsure: eliminate the obviously wrong choices, then guess.
Before the test
- A full simulation every week to build stamina for two and a half hours.
- Keep reviewing your mistakes notebook; your mistakes teach you the most.
- Sleep well the night before; sleep locks in what you studied.
