Difficulty
Level on the SAT
Information provided by www.kaptest.com
Here's an important fact about the
structure of the SAT: Questions within a given section increase
in level of difficulty. In other words,
the questions will get harder as you go along. This aspect of the
test's structure should figure into your test-taking strategy. Remember
that an
easy question is worth the same amount of points as a harder one.
So pick up those easy points as quickly as you can!

Tip: Since
the SAT is a paper & pencil exam, feel free to skip around
within a section. Make sure you pick up the easy points before
spending time on the more difficult questions. |
Here's another thing
about the structure of the SAT. Correct and incorrect answers
follow predictable patterns. For instance, an obviously correct
answer is likely to be the right answer early in a section, but
a wrong answer choice trap later in a section. In a 30 question
section:
Easy Questions (~1-10): the
"obvious" answer is almost always correct.
Medium Questions (~11-20):
the "obvious" answer is sometimes correct.
Difficult Questions (~21-30):
the "obvious" answer
is almost never correct.
Always make note of
where you are in a section before going for an obvious answer choice
on the SAT. Don't fall into the test maker's traps.
