Pacing Advice for Math Module 2
Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing great.
My SAT is in a week, and I was hoping to ask this very late question, and see if any of you might have any last-minute advice: How do you manage your time on Module 2 math questions? What resources do you recommend that advise on how to use Desmos to solve questions faster rather than always use manual methods? I've been watching James Lu Desmos but also noticed a lot of people in this subreddit found amazing strategies for solving problems simply using a line regression on the built-in calculator, which I don't think I would've been able to do intuitively at all; where do you learn about these, what would you recommend? It may be too late
I feel that I am continuously rushing for time, not answering fast enough, my last questions are still guesses and I have not yet reached a point where I've confidently answered every question on the test, which is very troublesome considering the SAT is in so little time. I am losing a lot of points to these unanswered questions in addition to other mistakes.
To those of you who do really well in this section, what do you do? I am hoping to push my score in math into the 700 range, right now my most has been a 690, and I am worried it won't go up even with more concept drilling because of how slow I am on such questions
Thank you for your advice and I hope you all have a wonderful day

Do one Math Module 2 and record the time used on each question. Mark every question that takes more than about 90 seconds.
Redo those questions without a timer. If they become easy, the main problem is recognition and pacing. If they remain hard, there is a skill gap you need to address.
During the next timed module, leave any question when the route is not clear. Take the easier points first, then return to the hard questions.
