Nitty-gritty you must know to score well on the SAT

Planning to take the SAT? The word S-A-T often creates anxiety in the minds of students due to its unpredictability. If you have a dream to studying in one of the best-in-class universities/colleges across the globe then you must take the SAT exam. India’s leading colleges are now accepting SAT scores.

The SAT gives you a chance to guess on the questions asked. You lose nothing by guessing when you do not know how to answer a question, as there is no deduction of marks if your guess is wrong.

If you are good at Math, then you surely have an advantage, but if Math is not your zone of comfort, the SAT may appear harder. On the other hand, if your reading skills are great, the Evidence Based-Reading and Writing Section may not be as challenging to you as to someone uninitiated into reading a dense text.
