The pitfalls of SAT Reading

The SAT Reading Test is a compulsory section of the SAT and is entirely multiple-choice, but it is by no means simple reading comprehension. SAT candidates are examined on their mastery of nuances of meaning and understanding of literary conventions, as well as their ability to absorb and synthesize information from various sources, from classic literature to history and science passages. Students open SAT Reading practice papers with prose on one page and scientific jargon on the next; it is intimidating for students to systematise and narrow down their SAT Reading revision. 

Students usually struggle to meet the many demands of the SAT Reading Test without a private tutor, as the Reading section examines rhetoric comprehension and exam technique rather than prior topic-specific knowledge. To excel in this part of the exam, candidates must be able to identify specific question types and answer complex questions that often have no clear answer.

This makes SAT Reading prep uniquely harder for candidates without an experienced SAT Reading test tutor to offer tips and guide them.
