About the Practice Test Take the practice test, which starts on page 35, to rein- force your test-taking skills and to be more comfortable when you take the SAT. This practice test will give you a good idea of what to expect on the actual test. However, the test you eventually take will differ in some ways. It may, for example, contain a different number of reading passages, and its sections may be in a different order. Although some editions of the SAT may be slightly easier or harder than others, statistical adjustments are made to ensure that each score indicates the same level of performance. Also, this practice SAT includes only six of the seven sections that the actual test contains. Section 4 has been omitted on this test because it contains questions that may be used in future editions of the SAT and because it does not count toward the scores. The practice test will help you most if you take it under conditions as close as possible to those of the actual test. F INDING YOUR S CORES Your raw test scores are placed on the College Board scale of 200 to 800. Use the table on page 63 to find the scaled scores that correspond to your raw scores on this edition of the SAT. REVIEWING YOUR PERFORMANCE After you score your practice test, analyze your performance. Asking yourself these questions and following the sugges- tions can help you improve your scores: ❚ Did you run out of time before you finished a section? Try to pace yourself so you will have time to answer all the questions you can. Don’t spend too much time on any one question. ❚ Did you hurry and make careless mistakes? You may have misread the question, neglected to notice the word “except” or “best,” solved for the wrong value, or reversed column A and column B in your mind. ❚ Were there questions you omitted that you might have gotten right if you had guessed? Did you lose points because of random guessing? Read page 4 again to determine when guessing might be helpful. ❚ Did you spend too much time reading directions? You should be familiar with the test directions so you don’t have to spend as much time reading them when you take the actual test. MORE ABOUT SCORING Your SAT answer sheet is scanned by machine and the oval you filled in for each question is recorded on a com- puter tape. Next, the computer compares the oval filled in for each question with the correct response. 30 Taking the SAT Reasoning Test 1. Set aside 2 1 / 2 hours of uninterrupted time. That way you can complete the entire test at one sitting. 2. Sit at a desk or table cleared of any other papers or books. You won’t be able to take a dictionary, books, or notes into the test room. 3. Allow yourself the specified amount of time for each sec- tion. Have a timer or clock in front of you for pacing yourself on the sections. 4. Have a calcu- lator at hand when you take the math sections. This will help you determine how much to use a calculator the day of the test. 5. Read the instructions on page 35. They are reprinted from the back cover of the test book. On test day, you will be asked to read them before you begin answer- ing questions. 6. After you finish, read page 63.
