Don't Repeat The Same Mistakes

One of the most effective ways to improve your SAT score is to stop making the same errors over and over. Many students move on too quickly after checking their answers, missing the chance to understand the root of their mistakes. After every practice session, review each question carefully—even the ones you got right. Re-reading the explanations helps confirm that your logic was correct and not just a lucky guess.

Create a simple mistake log where you write down the question type, the error you made, and why it happened. When you review this list regularly, you’ll start noticing patterns that you can intentionally fix. This habit trains you to avoid predictable traps that the SAT commonly uses. Over time, learning from every attempt makes you more accurate, confident, and fully prepared for test day.
