The big question

How do I raise
my score?

The SAT is a learnable test — not an IQ test. You can train for it, and the gains are real.

The power cycle.

Every good SAT program runs this loop.

Repeat 3–5× or more 1 Take a Practice Test 2 Find Your Weak Areas 3 Train Those Areas

Step 1: Take a real test.

Use the official tests from College Board's free app.

Why take official practice tests?
  • Made by the creators of the test
  • Best at predicting your real score
  • No mistakes or typos
  • Timed and scored automatically
  • Exactly simulates the real test format

Step 2: Find your weak areas.

Flag anything you struggled with — guessed, missed, took too long, or omitted.

Reading & Writing
  • Punctuation
  • Vocabulary in context
  • Transitions
  • Sentence structure
Math
  • Linear functions
  • Quadratic equations
  • Trigonometry
  • Statistics
THE HIGHEST-LEVERAGE MOVE
Sit down with a tutor and go through your test together. A good one spots the patterns you'd miss and turns them into a focused plan, so you know exactly what to work on.

Step 3: Train those areas.

Practice the targeted areas that will have the maximal impact on your score.
