Answer easy questions first. Mark skipped questions in your exam book so you can quickly return to them later.
Guess...if you can eliminate at least one choice.
You can write in the test book: cross out wrong answers; do scratch work.
Avoid stray marks on the answer sheet. A machine scores your test and can't distinguish between a correct answer and a careless doodle.
Easy questions usually precede hard ones.
Mark only one answer per question.
Skip any question if you haven't the faintest idea about the answer. You don't lose points.
Right answer for correct section and number on your answer sheet.
Don't spend too much time on any one question. You should spend only seconds on the easiest questions, and hesitate to spend more than 1-2 minutes on even the hardest ones.
Remember that the SAT consists of a series of small, timed, mini-tests. Keep track of the time you're allotted for each one and how much time remains.
Bring a watch to the test center. You can't be guaranteed that there'll be a working clock there.
Don't change an answer unless you're sure you made an error.
Read the words in the question carefully. Be sure to answer the question asked and not the question you recall from a practice test.
