Five minutes left in Science: stay on the figure in front of you, then fill every blank. Do not open a new conflicting-viewpoints passage. Science is optional and outside the Composite. The section-wide version is in five minutes left.
Locator leftovers, then guess
Graph-reading items still pay. A cold passage does not. Skipping the intro earlier is in skip the intro first. Blanks are in the no-blank rule.
A letter of the day is in letter of the day.
The bottom line
Finish the open figure. Do not start a new passage. Fill every bubble.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
