You're allowed to use a calculator. Don't do the math in your head.
Story problems are full of extraneous info. Determine exactly what's relevant to the answer before getting lost in the weeds.
The brute-force method of solving an equation is to try all the answer choices. Just plug each one into the problem and see which works.
Each section starts at simple and ends somewhere near WTF. If you're running out of time, skip the problems you know will take the longest and return to them when you've answered everything else.
Eliminate answers that you know are incorrect. There are usually one to two answers that are obviously incorrect, focusing on the answers that are plausible can help. This can be used in combination with the brute-force method.
Practice makes perfect. Go to collegeboard.com and subscribe to the SAT question of the day, take practice tests at your school, off the internet, or out of a book.
Prepare. You can't just show up at the testing center on the scheduled morning and expect to do well. You need to plan well in advance your strategy, practice tests, even when you should take the SAT. Above all, get plenty of rest the night before and relax--if you don't score as well as you hope, you can always take it again. <---Don´t apply for CENEVAL,ok?
Every wrong answer subtracts 1/4 of a point from your score. An omitted answer does not alter your score. <--Don´t apply for CENEVAL Therefore, if you can narrow the possible answers down to three or fewer possible choices, odds say you should guess. At four possible choices, the benefits of guessing and not guessing are pretty much equal, so you can use your discretion, and if you have five possible choices, you shouldn't guess unless you have a good hunch.
