SAT & THE SILENT TIMER™

The hardest aspect of the SAT is the strict time limit. The trick to conquering the SAT is not related to what grades you made in high school, or even prior knowledge you acquired before test day. No, the trick to the SAT is knowing the test inside and out and having a strategy for maximizing the number of correct answers in a limited amount of time.

Keep in mind that SAT questions are organized in an order of increasing difficulty: the easier questions are found at the beginning of each test section and become increasingly difficult as you move through the section. Aim to answer the easier questions correctly to bank points that are sure to increase your score. Also consider that if you generally aren't in the 90th percentile of SAT takers (based on your practice tests), you might want to skip the really difficult questions. Why try to answer a question that only 5 percent of test takers will answer correctly, especially if it will hurt your score in two ways:

1. You miss the question, and missing questions on the SAT counts against you, unlike most standardized tests.

2. You spend a lot of time on the question, and now you don't have enough time on the rest of your test to answer other questions that may be more manageable.

Time management is an important factor in your test taking strategy. While practicing for your test, always time yourself as if you are in the actual test. Doing this will ensure that you learn the pacing skills necessary to answer all of the "manageable" questions, and give you the extra time you may need to tackle the more difficult ones.

THE SILENT TIMER™ is a timer that will help you learn not to spend too much time on any one question. It lets you know how much time on average you have to answer each question. And based on how quickly you are answering questions, it recalculates the amount of time you have on future questions. By practicing with this innovative study tool, you can work on improving your pacing before you even step foot in the test room. Remember, "Success is Just a Matter of Time...."
