Answer from the passage, not memory
SAT Reading rewards line references. Underline the sentence that proves your answer before bubbling — especially on paired evidence questions.
Map the passage in 60 seconds
Note the topic of each paragraph marginally (e.g. 'author intro', 'counterargument'). This speeds up detail questions later.
Skip and return on hard science passages
If a passage feels dense, complete easier questions in other sections first, then return with remaining time.
