美高学霸的16条SAT阅读提分小贴士汇总
SAT考试总策略
1.Answer Every Question 回答每一个问题
The SAT doesn’t have a guessing penalty, so you should fill in an answer bubble for every question even if you have no clue what the correct response is. If you find yourself with a few questions left in the section and only 30 seconds on the clock, you should provide random answers for all of them.
既然新SAT已经取消了答错倒扣分的判分原则，考试当天，就不要在答题纸上留下任何空白和遗憾。尤其是当某道题不会或时间不够的时候，更要毫不犹豫地猜出你的答案。
2.Be Prepared for the Format 熟悉考试形式
Knowing what to expect is half the battle on the SAT. When you sit down to take the test, you want everything to look familiar so you can avoid mistakes triggered by stress. At the very least, you should review the timing and structure of the exam before test day. Taking practice tests with appropriate time constraints is the best thing you can do to alleviate confusion on this front.
考试之前再重新熟悉一遍SAT阅读、文法、数学和写作各个部分的考试形式、出题套路、常考考点以及时间分配。特别需要提醒大家的是，很多考生走出考场后都在抱怨时间不够用，这其实是缺乏时间管理概念，建议考试之前严格按照考试时间做几次模拟练习。
3.Don’t Linger on Hard Questions 别和难题过不去
Getting stuck on one question for too long can do serious damage to your performance on the SAT, especially considering the fact that there are only four sections. If you have no idea how to solve a math problem or can’t seem to settle on one choice for a writing or reading question, skip it and move on. You can come back to it after you make it through the rest of the section.
在平时练习和备考的过程中，费时间弄懂每一个题目，尤其是自己不会的难题是很有必要的。但是，在考试的过程中，一定要讲策略，不要过多的纠缠难题，即使这道难题作对了，却因此浪费了很多解决容易题目的时间。
阅读答题TIPS
4.Read Introduction First 先读引言
大多数阅读原文前配有斜体引言，主要是介绍背景，或点明主旨。先读引言，能够促进你对原文的理解。
5.Question With Line Numbers First 行数提示题先行
在SAT阅读考试中，百分之八九十的考题都会有行数提示，这些行数提示为考生在原文定位答案提供了很好的提示，建议考生在考试过程中先做行数提示题，为了充分理解上下文，阅读上下五行的窗口。
除个别问题针对全文外，SAT阅读的出题顺序基本跟原文顺序保持一致，所以一旦你在原文中找到了一个题的答案，这意味着相邻两个题答案在原文中出现的大概位置就被锁定了。比如，第5题的答案在20-25行，第7题的答案在30-35行，那么第6题的答案基本就可以锁定在25-30行。
另外，原文中一些特殊的词语也可以辅助你在原文中寻找答案，比如斜体字，大写，或带引号的表达，或者日期，年份等。
SAT文法答题TIPS
9.When in Doubt, Choose the Most Concise Answer 猜题的技巧
The shortest answer is often the best answer on the Writing section because good writing consists of saying what needs to be said without any unnecessary fluff. Super wordy answers are usually not the ones you want. Of course, this doesn’t hold true for every single question, but it’s a solid rule of thumb if you’re stuck.
在SAT文法考试中，往往最短的那个选项，也许就是选项，因为好的作文往往是越简单明了越好。所以如果，考试中犯晕了，就选择最短的选项。
10.NO CHANGE Answers Are Just Like Other Choices NO CHANGE也是选项之一
Often, NO CHANGE answers are wrongfully viewed as more likely or less likely options than other answer choices in the Writing section. In fact, they’re just as likely to be correct as any of the alternative options. Don’t be afraid to pick NO CHANGE if you’ve double checked your reasoning and determined that it’s the correct choice.
很多同学看到文法题中的NO CHANGE总是一脸懵逼，总觉得这种选项怪怪的，所以做题的时候不敢选这一选项。其实NO CHANGE跟其它选项一样，只不过是四个选项中的一个选项而已，如果你觉得其它三个选项都不如原文的用法好的话，就勇敢地选择它吧~
11.Get Rid of Duplicate Answers 选出特别的那一项
Sometimes, questions on the Writing section will have answer choices that are so similar to one another that choosing one over the other wouldn’t make any functional difference in the sentence structure. This means you can get rid of two choices in one fell swoop.
如果文法考试中，某两个选项在形式或意思上非常接近，那么这两个选项基本可以排除，这样你要做的就是二选一了。
