So, a month before my SAT, I was super stressed about my scores. I tried cramming every day with practice tests, but it wasn’t cutting it. Instead, I focused on analyzing my mistakes. I created a simple spreadsheet where I listed the question type, why I got it wrong, and key takeaways for next time.
Eventually, patterns emerged. I realized I was struggling with specific math concepts and certain reading question types. This targeted approach was way more effective than just practicing randomly every day.
