<p>Answer fewer questions? or is that not true?</p>
<p>I think it depends what score you’re shooting for… If you want to improve a 500 to a 550 then yes, this would work. If you are trying to improve a 700 to a 750 then no, absolutely not.</p>
<p>There eventually is a point where there is no point in omitting questions, because it will hurt you more than help you, probably once you get past a 600-650.</p>
<p>I agree with RCCHEN. Say you are a 650 scorer, trying to break 700. Even at that high end, it is OK to go a little slower and maybe omit a couple of questions near the ends of sections. And you should NOT omit any easy or medium questions.</p>
<p>But if you are trying to get to 750 or higher, well you’ll need to answer everything.</p>
<p>But not everyone who comes to this site has that kind of math score (though it seems that way). For mere mortals who would love to score say 600, going slower and omitting hard questions is like a magic cure. In the course that I teach, there are some students who take weeks to be convinced to try this. And when they finally do, it works. Meanwhile, the ones who try it right away are rewarded with this instant jump. It is the low-hanging fruit of SAT prep and a good way to check if your tutor knows what he’s talking about. </p>
<p>But again, this only applies to mortals. Bound for 800? Answer everything.</p>
