Good luck to everyone taking the SAT mañana! (How can it be Aug. 21 already??). Here's a really important last-minute tip to get your highest possible score: since harder and more time-consuming questions do NOT count more than easier and quickly answered questions (yup, there are lots of those, too) it's a good idea to cut your losses after a minute and change (you should have an intuitive sense about how long this is, and don't worry, you really do!), take an educated guess, and flag it to come back to time-permitting. 🤞

Slow and steady is the way to win the SAT race. But don't discount the value of cramming to boost your scores, too. And with less than a week to go to the SAT this weekend, cramming remains your only option. Set up an appointment or two this week to capitalize on your last opportunity to move the needle before school crushes you, er, I mean, kicks in. :-)
