SAT scores rise from practising the actual test and reviewing mistakes, not from reading about strategy. This takes a full practice test first to find the weak areas, works through them in short daily sessions, sits a timed practice test every couple of weeks, and keeps an error log so the same kind of mistake stops costing points.

Error log

For every wrong answer: The question type Why I got it wrong: did not know it, misread it, ran out of time, or a careless slip What I will do differently next time

Review the log before every practice test. Most lost points come from a small number of repeated mistakes.

Questions

Study for the SAT, answered.

Around two to three months of regular study works for many students, which is what this plan is dated to. Short daily sessions tend to do more than occasional long ones, especially alongside schoolwork.
The digital SAT has two sections, Reading and Writing, and Math, each split into two modules, and the second module adapts to how you did on the first. The official practice tests use the same format, which is why the plan is built around them.
A list of every question you got wrong, why, and what to do differently next time. Reviewing it before each practice test is one of the most effective ways to stop losing points to the same kinds of mistake.
