SAT Math Strategies for High School Students: Boost Timing & Accuracy The six highest-impact SAT math strategies are: the two-pass pacing method, backsolving and picking numbers (PIN), estimation with process of elimination, smart Desmos use, a categorized mistake log, and a diagnostic-driven timed practice plan. Apply all six consistently and your score moves in a measurable direction. Start here — your immediate action checklist: Set a timer and run one full module using the two-pass method (first pass: easy questions only; second pass: medium and hard). Pick five multiple-choice problems and practice backsolving each one before trying algebra. Open Desmos and practice graphing one linear and one quadratic equation so the tool feels familiar on test day. Log every wrong answer from your next practice session: concept, mistake type, and the fix. Schedule a free diagnostic consultation with Wonprep to get a personalized roadmap built around your actual skill gaps. The College Board publishes free official practice tests. Use them. Wonprep pairs those tests with a diagnostic assessment that maps your weak spots to a weekly lesson sequence, so you practice what actually moves you
