So, there I was, one month away from the SAT, feeling totally overwhelmed. I had a decent baseline score but knew I needed to kick it up a notch. The first week, I tried cramming practice tests every day, but it felt so repetitive.
Instead, I decided to switch things up. I focused on reviewing my mistakes! I created a chart where I listed out question types I got wrong, why I missed them, and strategies to correct my thinking next time.
It sounds boring, but after a few days, I started noticing patterns in the types of questions that really tripped me up. No more random guesswork!
By the end of the month, not only did my familiarity with the test improve, but my score also reflected all that hard work. Give this a shot if you’re in a similar boat—trust me, it’s worth it!
