    60-Day SAT Study Plan

    Sixty days gives enough time to build skills and test pacing. This plan alternates targeted drills with timed modules.

    8-week roadmap

    Keep the same weekly pattern so progress is easy to track.

    • Week 1: diagnostic and setup
    • Weeks 2-3: core Math and grammar
    • Weeks 4-5: weakest Reading & Writing skills
    • Week 6: timed modules
    • Week 7: full tests
    • Week 8: review and taper

    Score goal

    A 100-200 point gain is realistic for many students if they review misses deeply and practice consistently.

    How to know whether the plan is working

    A study plan is working when the same miss pattern appears less often each week.

    • Track misses by skill, not just by section score.
    • Repeat missed questions 48 hours later before adding more new drills.
    • Use one timed module each week as the transfer test.
    • If the same mistake appears twice, make the next drill narrower.
