It seems that the major reason I don't recieve such high scores is because i take too long on the problems and i don't realize it until it's too late. That really hurt my score. With the ACT it was the same situation except you could guess so i guessed at least the last ten questions on the reading and science sections. Anyways, sorry this message is so long and if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Montsine, You have identifed one of the most common and cosly mistakes students make on the SAT and ACT tests.
Time management is absolutely critical to get the best scores possible.
If you have 15 minutes to work a set of 15 problems,the first five should be done in five minutes. If you are falling behind, hurry it up - force yourself to move faster. Problems are designed to be worked in the time allotted. Pass by the difficult one and return to it if you have time left over. You don't want not to work an easier one because you didn't get to it.
