Rocketcat says: If you are taking the SAT today, remember:
Rocket's RACECAR Strategy:
1. Read, quickly and smoothly, from upper left corner, with title, through directions and through the question, predicting the possible answers in streamlined style. Then, choose the answer best fitting your guess. Mark it. Go backwards (palindrome) to eliminate one other possibility, if you have not done this while solving. This part is to make sure you answered the intended question instead of something else.
2. On math problems featuring low numbers, expect to jot down some steps. Don't give up because the problem looks unfamiliar; but don't spend too much time either. Mark an answer that you reach by following all the steps you feel will at least get you close. Plan to come back, but keep going.
Pace yourself by spending enough time on the ones you do best and restrained time on the ones that challenge you.
Just go with the format; give your best attention; VISUALIZE what you read.
Make little movies in your head and draw little diagrams to keep visualizing. Think: I can solve this. Try. Mark an answer. Keep Moving until you finish.
Get the points: Know what you know. Keep a pace--and come back with any leftover time. Use all your time. Check systematically--eliminating one more answer to make sure you are answering the question asked.
Then, go relax!!!judiethcarol&RocketcatApril2010
