SAT mainly covers English and Mathematics. Giving around 1-2 hours everyday for it's preparation is enough to fetch you good marks. Since you are an Indian and been through Indian education system, you might find the Mathematics section easy, however, you might find the English section difficult. Preparing for it with the right resources shall ensure that you score well in that section as well. For more information regarding SAT preparation, you are advised to visit the following links:

Hello Anjali,

“ Many people read the same book for SAT but their scores are different . Some score 1600/1600 reading from a particular book and others not even 1000. Where’s the difference?

The difference is in the way they study. Some study hard some study smart.

So how to study smartly?

Choose any book you want or any website you think is best for you so that you can get good quality questions.

Now I would like to tell you one thing which most students ignore. The new SAT has a predefined question type which is always asked in the examination. example :

Big Picture Questions :

Big picture questions are about the author’s point of view, the primary purpose of the passage, and the rhetorical strategy of the author. These “rhetorical strategy” questions are usually found with paired passages on the SAT. They often ask about how two passages relate to one another in terms of argument and author viewpoint.

Little Picture/Detail Questions :

Little picture/detail questions will be about a specific small detail in a passage. They might ask you what a phrase in a passage specifically refers to or give you a line number and ask you to find a detail in that part of the passage.

Inference Questions :

Inference questions will ask you to make a logical assumption based on details in the passage. You may have to infer the meaning of a paragraph or line in the passage, determine the implications of a statement in the passage, or make a logical conclusion about opinions stated by passage authors.

Function Questions :

Function questions will ask you to figure out what the purpose or effect of a line or paragraph is in the context of a passage or why the author used a certain phrasing in the passage.

Vocabulary in Context Questions :

Vocabulary in context questions will ask you the definition of a word as it is used in the context of a passage. You'll never see vocabulary in context questions with paired passages - only individual passages. Usually the words in these questions are much less difficult than the words in Sentence Completion questions. They require an understanding of nuance in the meanings of common words rather than a wide-ranging vocabulary.

Analogy Questions :

Analogy questions will ask you to make a comparison between a condition or relationship described in the passage and a condition or relationship that is not mentioned in the passage. Basically, you have to detect the underlying similarity between something in the passage and a separate hypothetical situation. Analogy questions are a subset of inference questions.

Author Technique Questions :

Author technique questions will ask you about the author’s tone in the passage or the mood the passage conveys to the reader.

So you have all the question types. What you have to do is just one thing.

Solve the Questions in your home assuming you are giving real examination. When done, check out your mistakes. Note all your mistakes in your notes and try to figure out in which question type you are making mistake . Now focus more on those types of questions you are getting 0 marks. Keep practicing them and fill the loop holes one by one .

This helps a lot not only during preparation but also during your examination. Let’s assume you have less time in your exam and you have two questions left. One is analogy and other is inference type question. You know that you are good in analogy type questions but not inference type question. So what you will do? You will hit the analogy type question first . This will increase the probability of getting higher score.

Most important you should have the ability to figure out what is the question type of the question you are solving.

Summary :

• Solve all question as if you are giving real exam
• note down the question types of your mistakes
• practice more and more and make strategy to on those question types where you are making mistake
• fill all the loopholes

Good luck.

• Candidate should have obtained a Bachelor's degree or equivalent degree from any recognized university or institution.
• Candidate should have scored minimum 50% marks in graduation ( 45% marks for SC, ST & PwD/DA candidates)
• Candidates who are in final year of their Bachelor's degree can also apply.
• There is no age limit to apply for CAT.
• Reservation percentage is 7.5%, 15%, 27% & 5% for ST/ SC/ PBC/ PWD respectively. To get the reservation one must correctly fill the category in the form.
