Book Preface

SAT Structure

The SAT, like any standardized test, is predictable. The more comfortable you are with the test structure, the more confidently you will approach each question type, thus maximizing your score.

The SAT is 3 hours long (or 3 hours and 50 minutes long if you live in a state that requires the essay). The SAT is made up of mostly multiple-choice questions that test two subject areas: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. The former is broken into a Reading Test and a Writing and Language Test.

SAT Scoring

You will receive one score ranging from 200–800 for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and another for Math. Your overall SAT score will range from 400–1600 and is calculated by adding these two scores together. If your state requires the Essay as part of SAT School Day administrations, you will receive a separate score for it.

In addition to your overall scores, you will receive subscores that provide a deeper analysis of your SAT performance. The SAT also gives you a percentile ranking, which allows you to compare your scores with those of other test takers. For example, a student who scored in the 63rd percentile did better than 63 percent of all others who took that test.

The scores you need depend primarily on which colleges you are planning to apply to. For example, if you want to attend an engineering school, you’ll typically need a higher math score than if you want to attend a liberal arts college. Research the colleges you are interested in, find out what scores they require, and structure your SAT studying accordingly.

How to Maximize Your Score

You’ll find advice on test-taking strategies below and in the section management chapters at the end of the Math, Reading, and Writing and Language sections of this book. In addition, read the instructional text for those topics you feel weak in and work your way through the practice questions. There are hundreds of them in this book, and they are very similar to those that you will see on test day. Practice will not only improve your skills; it will also raise your confidence, and that’s very important to test-day success. Remember, you can use this book in any order you like, and you don’t need to use all of it. Prioritize high-yield topics.

Where and When to Take the SAT

The SAT is offered every year on multiple Saturday test dates. Typically, exams are offered in August, October, November, December, March, May, and June. You can take the SAT multiple times. Some states offer special administrations of the SAT on different dates. Sunday tests are available by request for students requiring religious or other exemptions. The SAT is administered at high schools around the country that serve as testing centers. Your high school may or may not be a testing center. Check www.collegeboard.org for a list of testing centers near you. Note that you must register for the SAT approximately one month in advance to avoid paying a late fee. Some SAT test dates also offer SAT Subject Tests. You may not take both the SAT and the Subject Tests in a single sitting.

Digital Testing

Digital testing for the SAT is currently offered at a few testing centers. It will be more widely available in the future, and some testing centers may adopt digital testing while others retain the traditional paper/pencil format. Check the College Board website for updates on computer-based testing. We will also post updates in the online resources for this book as new information becomes available.

The SAT Math Test is divided into four content areas: Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, Passport to Advanced Math, and Additional Topics in Math.

A few Math questions might look like something you’d expect to see on a science or history test. These “crossover” questions are designed to test your ability to use math in real-world scenarios. There are a total of 18 “crossover” questions that will contribute to subscores that span multiple tests. Nine of the questions will contribute to the Analysis in Science subscore, and nine will contribute to the Analysis in History/Social Studies subscore.

The SAT Reading Test

The SAT Reading Test will focus on your comprehension and reasoning skills when you are presented with challenging extended prose passages taken from a variety of content areas.

Passages will draw from U.S. and World Literature, History/Social Studies, and Science. One set of History/Social Studies or Science passages will be paired. History/Social Studies and Science passages can also be accompanied by graphical representations of data such as charts, graphs, tables, and so on.

The multiple-choice questions for each passage will be arranged with main idea questions at the beginning of the set so that you can consider the entire passage before answering questions about details.
