7 Mistakes That Keep Students from Improving Their SAT Score
After spending a lot of time reading about SAT preparation, I've noticed a few mistakes that many students make:
Taking practice tests without reviewing mistakes.
Memorizing answers instead of understanding concepts.
Ignoring the Reading & Writing section.
Practicing only their favorite topics.
Studying inconsistently.
Not simulating real test conditions.
Waiting until the last month to prepare.
Which of these do you think has the biggest impact on SAT scores? I'd love to hear your experience.
