Grid five or more answers at once. Don’t transfer your answers to the grid after
every question. Transfer them after every five questions. That way, you won’t
keep breaking your concentration to mark the grid. You’ll save time and gain
accuracy.
THE SAT SUBJECT TESTS ARE HIGHLY PREDICTABLE
Because the format and directions of the SAT subject tests remain unchanged
from test to test, you can learn the tests’ setups in advance. On test day, the
various question types on the tests shouldn’t be new to you.
DON’T GET LOST
Learn SAT subject test directions as you prepare for the tests. You’ll
have more time to spend answering the questions on test day.One of the easiest things you can do to help your performance on the SAT
subject tests is to understand the directions before taking the test. Since the
instructions are always the same, there’s no reason to waste a lot of time on
test day reading them. Learn them beforehand, as you work through this book
and the College Board publications.
THERE’S A PATTERN
SAT Mathematics questions are generally arranged in order of
difficulty—basic questions first, harder questions last.
