SAT MYTHS

MYTH #3: Don't guess

This is not necessarily true.

If you can eliminate at least two of the answers it is in your favor to answer the question with your best guess. The only time you leave it blank is when you don't know anything about the question.

The process of elimination is a very useful technique.

MYTH #2: The problems are all the same.

Not true. The first third of each section will be easy, the second third will be medium and the last third will hard. The reading comprehension is the only part that doesn't follow this order.

• easy - just about everyone gets right
• medium - only about half get right
• hard - hardly any one gets right

The key to success here is practice, practice and more practice.

SAT MYTHS

A little known secret about the SAT is that the SAT is not a knowlegde test. It is a general apptitude test. Which means, while some tests are checking to see what you already know, the SAT is designed to test your ability to use what you already know.

In other words, it's more about your ability to learn and process new information than what you know. This is good news for those willing to work, because SAT success comes down to practice and simple strategies.

But there are many myths or misunderstandings concerning the SAT.

Myth #1: The math is complex

Fact: The math on the SAT is very basic. It will consist of arithmetic, algebra one, geometry and algebra II. There is no calculus or even trigonmetry.
