SAT Strategies Review

The questions on the SAT are completely random and there are no patterns to the answer choices.

If an answer is unusually long, you can likely guess that it is an incorrect answer.

When you come across an answer choice that is confusing you should ignore it because it is likely the wrong answer.

Skimming the answer choices is a good strategy because then you are less likely to run out of time.

"Hedges" are words like almost and some. Answer choices with these words are more likely to be correct.

Restating the question is a good strategy, especially when the question is written in a confusing way.

When taking the SAT you should try to overanalyze every question so that you don't miss anything.

You should read the entire question before reading the answer choices.

If you do not know the answer to a question, you should panic.

Trying to predict an answer before reading the answer choices is only a good idea if you are well prepared.

Research says that usually your first instinct is wrong so it is best to ignore it.

Rephrasing a confusing answer choice is a good strategy.

For most questions on the SAT, there will be one answer choice that is very clearly wrong.

An answer choice can be true, but it still doesn't answer the question which means it is still the wrong answer!

The most common answers on the SAT are choice B and C.
