Challenges
Most of the SAT sections are reading based, even the essay task requires reading a long passage and critically evaluating it. This poses a unique challenge to most students – breaking away from reading as they do in most academic contexts.
Since most students read to retain information – they read slowly and miss the big ideas of most texts they read. This can be disastrous on the SAT, where reading for gist and overall idea is what’s rewarded.
