SAT Reading & Writing: A 4-Week Plan to Raise Your Score

Score gains in SAT Reading & Writing come from two things: consistent practice and a repeatable review process. Here’s a simple 4-week plan you can follow.

Week 1: Build your baseline

• Take a timed section and record your accuracy by question type.

• Create an error log (why you missed it + the rule/strategy).

Week 2: Grammar rules + targeted drills

• Focus on punctuation, sentence boundaries, and verb tense/agreement.

• Do short daily drills and review mistakes immediately.

Week 3: Reading strategy

• Practice active reading: main idea, tone, and evidence questions.

• Learn to eliminate wrong answers quickly.

Week 4: Full timed practice + review

• Do 2 timed sections (or a full test) this week.

• Redo every missed question and write the takeaway in your error log.
