How to Raise Your SAT Reading Score

SAT Reading scores are, by far, the hardest to improve. This article gives you practical tips to help raise your SAT Reading score.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A Lot of Dedication
• Time
• Reading Material
• SAT Prep Material

1. Don't wait until the last minute. Be prepared to devote at least 6 months of consistent study to improve your score.

2. READ! READ! READ! The reading part of your brain is like a muscle; the more you exercise it, the stronger you get.

3. Read things that you enjoy, not just SAT reading passages. While SAT reading practice is important, it is actually not beneficial to only practice in this way. Contrary to popular belief, even fun reading is excellent practice.

4. Learn the types of questions asked in the SAT Reading sections. This knowledge will help you review / learn the rules and strategies you need to get more questions correct.

5. Alternate between focused SAT reading practice with specific question types (for example, main idea questions) and general(FUN)reading.
