SAT: the words and formulas that repeat

The vocabulary that comes back every year, the math you must know cold, and the guessing rule.

The SAT reuses the same handful of ideas. Drill those, not the whole book.

There is no wrong-answer penalty

Blank and wrong score the same: zero. Never leave a question empty. Eliminate two options and guess.

Slope-intercept form


y = mx + b — m is the slope, b is where the line crosses the y-axis. Half the algebra questions start here.

«Undermine»


To weaken or work against something. It shows up constantly in the reading section's «which choice most undermines the claim?»

In reading, a question asks which choice best supports the previous answer. What's the safest strategy?

  1. APick the longest quote
  2. BAnswer both questions together, matching evidence to claim
  3. CGuess the middle option
  4. DSkip it

Paired questions are solved as a pair: find the line that proves your first answer. If nothing proves it, your first answer was wrong.

Words in context beat memorized lists

The test asks what a word means in this sentence. Cover the word, read the line, predict a synonym, then look at the options.

The week before

  1. One timed section a day, same time of day as the real test
  2. Review only what you got wrong
  3. Learn 10 repeat words, not 100 rare ones

Timing beats knowledge on this test. Practice with the clock on.
