Choose Your Starting Point
As with any plan, before you decide where you‘re going, you need to know where you are right now. So to use SAT Skills Insight, start with your prior scores on the PSAT/NMSQT®, the SAT, or any practice test you have taken. Then choose the score band for each section of the SAT that reflects your score on that section. For example, if you got a 420 on the critical reading section of the SAT, your starting point on the Skills Insight would be the 400–490 score band for critical reading. (If you haven‘t taken the PSAT/NSMQT, the SAT, or any practice tests, you may want to start at the lowest score band and work your way up until you find a score band that contains skills that you find unfamiliar or challenging.)
