SAT syllabus: what to study
The SAT syllabus is organised around 2 main areas. Plan your preparation so that every area gets a revision cycle before your first full-length mock test.
- Reading & Writing: revise concepts, practise topic-wise questions, then test yourself under timed conditions.
- Math: revise concepts, practise topic-wise questions, then test yourself under timed conditions.
How to prepare for SAT
A good SAT plan combines concept study, topic-wise practice and regular full-length mock tests. Use the checklist below as a starting point.
- Practise in the Bluebook interface so the digital tools feel familiar.
- Master the built-in Desmos calculator for faster Math solutions.
- Review grammar rules for the short passage-based Writing questions.
- Analyse every mock test: separate errors into concept gaps, calculation slips and time pressure, and fix one group at a time.
- Keep a short error notebook and revise it weekly, since repeated mistakes cost more marks than new ones.
