A substantial goal needs a baseline-aware plan
A 200-point goal usually requires more than test tricks. The work depends heavily on the starting score, section split, error causes, available weeks, and consistency of practice.
Generic editorial framework
Extend the repair phases when the baseline shows broader foundation gaps; compress only when new test evidence supports it.
| Phase | Objective | Generic work |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Establish the baseline | Take and deeply review a full test; calculate the section split and categorize every missed or uncertain question. |
| Weeks 2–3 | Rebuild priority foundations | Address high-frequency skills causing clusters of misses, with untimed accuracy before speed. |
| Week 4 | Checkpoint 1 | Take a comparable test and decide whether the first repairs transfer to mixed conditions. |
| Weeks 5–6 | Broaden and time | Add the next priorities, maintain repaired skills, and introduce timed mixed sets and modules. |
| Week 7 | Checkpoint 2 | Run another full test; compare section movement and repeat-error patterns with both earlier tests. |
| Week 8 | Repair or extend | Consolidate the remaining high-value errors or extend the timeline if the evidence does not support a final rehearsal yet. |
The same point goal can represent very different work.
Do not assume each section must contribute the same number of points.
A test is valuable only when it changes the next decision.
Baseline, time, practice quality, test variation, health, and school workload all affect outcomes. Use the goal to organize work, not to promise a result.
College Board says its Bluebook full-length practice tests are timed and scored. Use them to collect comparable evidence, then review the questions and performance data before changing the next phase.

Plans by timeline
Two months gives you room to learn before you rush into timing. The strongest version of this plan separates foundation work, mixed practice, and test simulation.
Open planPlans by timeline
A three-month timeline supports gradual learning, spaced review, and several evidence-based adjustments without forcing SAT prep to crowd out school.
Open planPlans by target score
A 1400 target usually demands more than isolated hard-question wins. The plan should protect reliable points, remove recurring medium-difficulty misses, and keep both sections calibrated.
