SAT Reading Pacing Techniques


By Steven Darby - July 25, 2023


Dear parents, as your child prepares for the SAT Reading section with Peak Learning Solutions, we want to ensure they have effective pacing techniques in place. Our teachers (we call ourselves teachers because we are all teachers first unlike most tutors and tutoring organizations) will work closely with them to develop strategies that optimize their time management during the test.

 

To begin, our teachers (we call ourselves teachers because we are all teachers first unlike most tutors and tutoring organizations) will instruct your child to skim the questions before reading the passage. By answering the questions that direct them to specific lines or paragraphs, they can focus their reading on the relevant information, saving valuable time.

 

We will guide your child to read at an appropriate pace—fast but without skimming. Our teachers (we call ourselves teachers because we are all teachers first unlike most tutors and tutoring organizations) will help them identify keywords, proper nouns, and information present in the answer choices themselves, enabling them to locate the necessary information efficiently.

It's important for your child to find direct evidence in the passage for each question. Our teachers (we call ourselves teachers because we are all teachers first unlike most tutors and tutoring organizations) will emphasize the significance of paying close attention to details, as often, the difference between the correct and incorrect answer choices lies in small nuances or overlooked details. With our guidance, your child will improve both their pacing and accuracy in the SAT Reading section.
