The 90-Day SAT Study Plan for Serious Score Gains
A 90-day Digital SAT plan for students aiming to go from a 1200 baseline to a 1400+ score with steady, scaffolded work.
Phase 1 (Days 1–30): Content Build
Cover every tested skill once. Two skills per week, with a 30-question drill after each. No timed practice yet — focus on understanding.
Phase 2 (Days 31–60): Timed Sections
One timed module per day, alternating Math and R&W. Weekly full-length practice test. Review every wrong answer, not just the hard ones.
Phase 3 (Days 61–90): Refinement
Focus exclusively on the skills and question types you still miss. Three more full-length tests. Final week: taper and rest.
What to do after reading this
- Choose one strategy from the article and test it on a timed module.
- Mark whether the strategy saved time, improved accuracy, or only felt easier.
- Keep the strategy only if it improves the review data, not just confidence.
