The SAT Reading isn’t like what you’re used to. These are college-level journal articles on literature, science, and social studies, and you’re asked to identify such mind-bending concepts as the purpose of a phrase or what’s implied by a paragraph. The SAT starts with this test, so you’re also doing this at eight on a Saturday morning.

If the depth of your regular reading hovers around Instagram and Twitter, you’re going to struggle with the nuance and complexity of SAT reading. Ease yourself into this task by reading Time magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or any regular publication aimed at adults, at least once a week, starting now. Your best bet is to get a print edition that you can hold in your hands: Not only are there no online distractions, but you also get used to reading the SAT, which is on paper too. These steps will also ease your transition into college.
