Continue intensive prep

Overview

You're 6-8 weeks into consistent prep - that's fantastic dedication! Here's how to keep building on your progress.

Weekly Schedule at This Stage

• 4-5 study sessions per week, 45-60 minutes each
• 2-3 sessions focused on weak areas
• 1-2 timed practice sections
• 1 session reviewing mistakes

Monthly Benchmark

Take a full-length practice test under realistic conditions. This helps you:

• Track your progress
• Build stamina
• Identify remaining weak spots

Focus Your Energy

By now you should know your weakest question types. Spend 70-80% of study time there, not on things you already do well.

Test-Specific Tips

• SAT Reading: Practice passage annotation and time management
• SAT Math: Master word problems and multi-step algebra
