To tackle the SAT Reading section effectively, students should focus on active reading strategies like annotating passages, summarizing paragraphs in their own words, and identifying the author’s tone and purpose. Practicing with timed passages helps build reading speed while maintaining accuracy. Regular practice also trains the brain to quickly spot key details, understand complex arguments, and make inferences—skills essential for answering questions correctly. By consistently reviewing mistakes and learning from them, students gradually improve comprehension, boost confidence, and develop the pacing needed to complete the section efficiently on test day.
