Can I Skip Questions and Return Later?

Question: Can I Skip Questions and Return Later?

Answer: Oh yes! This is one of the top strategies for scoring well on the SAT I. You're allowed to answer questions in any order within each section of the SAT.

As you progress through the test, circle problems that confuse you and skip to the next ones.

Try to rack up the points by answering easier questions first, then return to harder questions if you have time. You don't get any extra points for struggling with the hard questions, especially if time runs out before you get to the easier ones!
