Strategies to Get a Perfect SAT Reading Score
阅读高分技巧
What's your greatest weakness?
你最大的不足是什么?
Strategy 1: Understand Your High Level Weakness: Time Management or Passage Strategy
技巧1：找出不足：时间管理还是阅读技巧
Every student has different flaws in SAT Reading. Some people don't have good strategies for tackling the passage questions. Others don't manage their time correctly and run out of time before getting through all the questions.
Here's how you can figure out which one applies more to you:
Find an official SAT practice test, and take only the Reading section. We have the complete list of free practice tests here.
找一套官方的SAT模拟题，只做阅读部分。
For each section, use a timer and have it count down the 65 minutes for the Reading section. Treat it like a real test.
每次做阅读部分时，都要计时，阅读部分共65分钟。像实战一样答题。
If time runs out for that section and you're 100% ready to move on, then move on. If you're not ready to move on, keep on working for as long as you need. For every new answer or answer that you change, mark it with a special note as "Extra Time."
时间到。如果此时你已经答完了，那就做后面的题。如果你还没答完，那就继续答题，直到答完为止。把超时部分做的题目或者改的题目都标记出来。
When you're ready, grade your test using the answer key and score chart, but we want two scores:
1) The Realistic score you got under normal timing conditions,
2) The Extra Time score. This is why you marked the questions you answered or changed during Extra Time.
标记出来后就可以对答案了，但是我们希望计算出两个成绩，一个是在规定时间内你拿到的实际成绩，另一个是超时部分的成绩。这也是为什么需要你把超时部分答的题和改的题都标记出来的原因。
Get what we're doing here? By marking which questions you did under Extra Time, we can figure out what score you got if you were given all the time you needed. This will help us figure out where your weaknesses lie.
Here's a flowchart to help you figure this out:
Was your Extra Time score a 35 or above?
你的超时部分的成绩高于35分吗?
If NO (Extra Time score < 35), then you have strategy and content weaknesses. All the extra time in the world couldn't get you above a 35, so your first angle of attack will be to find your weaknesses and attack them (We'll cover this later).
If YES (Extra Time score > 35), then:
Was your Realistic score a 35 or above?
你的实际成绩高于35分吗?
If NO (Extra Time score > 35, Realistic < 35), then that means you have a difference between your Extra Time score and your Realistic score. 如果你的超时部分成绩高于35分而实际成绩却低于35分，那意味着你的超时部分的成绩和实际成绩之间有差异。If this difference is more than 3 points, then you have some big problems with time management. We need to figure out why this is. Are you using the best passage reading strategy for you? Does it take you too much time to get the answer for each question? Generally, doing a lot of practice questions and learning the most efficient passage strategies will help reduce your time. More on this later.通常，做很多模考题，多学习一些有效的技巧可以节省你的时间。
If YES (both Extra Time and Realistic scores > 35), then you have a really good shot at getting an 800.如果超时部分的成绩和实际的成绩都高于35分，那你考到800分的机会就很大了。Compare your ExtraTime and Realistic score - if they differed by more than 2 points, then you would benefit from learning how to solve questions more quickly. If not, then you likely can benefit from shoring up on your last content weaknesses and avoiding careless mistakes (more on this strategy later).
Hopefully that makes sense. Typically I see that students have both timing and content issues, but you might find that one is much more dominant for you than the other. For example, if you can get a 40 with extra time, but score a 35 in regular time, you know exactly that you need to work on time management to get a 40.
No matter what your weakness is, my following strategies will address all weaknesses comprehensively.
Strategy2: Learn to Eliminate 3 Wrong Answers
技巧2：学会排除3个错误答案
This strategy was by far the most effective for me in raising my Reading score. It completely changed the way I viewed passage questions.
I spent some time talking above about how the SAT always has one unambiguous answer. This has a huge implication for the strategy you should use to find the right SAT Reading answer.
Here's the other way to see it: Out of the 4 answer choices, 3 of them have something that is totally wrong about them.在四个选项中有三个是包含错误信息的。Only 1 answer is 100% correct, which means the other 3 are 100% wrong.
You know how you try to eliminate answer choices, and then end up with a few at the end that all seem equally likely to be correct? "Well, this can work...but then again this could work as well..."
STOP doing that. You're not doing a good enough job of eliminating answer choices. Remember - every single wrong choice can be crossed out for its own reasons.你要记得，每一个错误选项被选出来都有它自己的理由。
You need to do a 180 on your approach to Reading questions. Instead, find a reason to eliminate 3 answer choices. "Can I find a reason to eliminate this answer choice? How about this one?"
You have to learn how to eliminate 3 answer choices for every single question.
"Great, Allen. But this doesn't tell me anything about HOW to eliminate answer choices."
Thanks for asking. One thing to remember is that even a single word can make an answer choice wrong.即使是一个单词也会让整个选项变成错的。Every single word in each answer choice is put there by the SAT for a reason. If a single word in the answer choice isn't supported by the passage text, you need to eliminate it, even if the rest of the answer sounds good.
There are a few classic wrong answer choices the SAT loves to use. Here's an example question.
For example, let’s imagine you just read a passage talking about how human evolution shaped the environment. It gives a few examples. First, it talks about how the transition from earlier species like Homo habilus to neanderthals led to more tool usage like fire, which caused wildfires and shaped the ecology. It then talks about Homosapiens 40,000 years ago and their overhunting of species like woolly mammoths to extinction.
So then we run into a question aski

ng, "Which of the following best describes the main subject of the passage?" Here are the answer choices:A: The transition between Homo habilus and neanderthals
B: The study of evolution
C: How the environment shaped human evolution
D: The plausibility of evolution
E: The influence of human development on ecology
(We're using 5 answers for illustration purposes - the SAT will only have 4 choices).
As you're reading these answer choices, a few of them probably started sounded really plausible to you.
Surprise! Each of the answers from A-D has something seriously wrong about it. Each one is a classic example of a wrong answer type given by the SAT.
