Tips on improving speed for SAT, or any other standardized test?

<p>I'm kind if a slow test taker, something that affects my score, I have to rush at the end and don't get to check my work. </p>

<p>Any tips?</p>

<p>Or is it just Practice, practice, practice? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Practice, practice, practice with a stop watch
try to finish each section with 1 minute less than the actual time like for a 20 minute test finish it in 19 mins</p>

<p>ditto on the practicing
in my weird studying for psat, i've been taking a previous year's psat every day... at first i was taking the whole time and just barely finishing all the questions and getting quite a few wrong. but now i'm finishing each section with about 10 minutes to spare, and yesterday i only got 1 question wrong on the entire test! the sat (and the psat, for that matter) is predictable, so you should use that to ur advantage.</p>

<p>also, it depends on what score you are trying to get...if you are aiming for a 2400, then obviously you should answer every question. But if you are one of us normal people, it's okay to skip a question IF YOU CAN SKIP IT RIGHT AWAY. Haha I sound like RR, but if you can see u don't know a question, circle it and move on. I know questions are roughly ordered for difficulty, but "Hard" doesn't mean hard for everyone. I have a pretty good vocab, so I always overthink the "medium" questions. I get the easy and hard ones right and the medium ones wrong. Some of these "hard" questions may actually be a lot easier for you, and in that case, you might be missing out on some crucial points</p>

<p>thanks, that was pretty good advice.</p>
