So, I had like 30 days left before the SAT and honestly felt super overwhelmed. I thought cramming would be the answer, but I was so wrong. Instead, I focused on my weaknesses.
I started by diving deep into practice tests, but more importantly, I analyzed my mistakes. I created a little spreadsheet where I noted the question type, why I got it wrong, and key takeaways to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
It was definitely tedious, but the repeated patterns helped me spot the areas I needed to work on, especially in reading and writing sections. I also read articles and essays daily to improve my comprehension skills. It felt less like studying and more like just engaging with content I enjoyed.
In the last week, I put more focus on timing. I practiced under timed conditions to simulate test day, which made a big difference. Seriously, if you’re struggling, consider switching up your study methods and actively reviewing your errors!
