    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.

    PhaseWeeksFocus
    Foundation1-4Skill review and error log
    Targeted practice5-8Weak skills and timed modules
    Test simulation9-12Full 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.
