90-Day SAT Study Plan
Ninety days is enough for a serious SAT rebuild. The plan should start broad, then narrow around your most expensive mistakes.
12-week roadmap
Use the first month for fundamentals, the second for targeted practice, and the third for test simulation.
| Phase | Weeks | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | 1-4 | Skill review and error log |
| Targeted practice | 5-8 | Weak skills and timed modules |
| Test simulation | 9-12 | Full tests and final review |
Review system
Every miss should be tagged as content gap, careless error, misread, or pacing problem.
How to turn this plan into practice
A study plan only works if each block turns into a question set, a timed module, or a review session. Keep the schedule narrow enough that you can finish the work and review it.
- Start each week with one target skill in Math and one in Reading and Writing.
- Use timed modules to test whether skill drills transfer under pressure.
- Review misses before adding more new questions.
How to know whether the plan is working
Do not judge a study plan by hours logged. Judge it by whether your miss pattern changes after 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.
