Getting from 1200 to 1350 is about learning fundamentals. Getting from 1350 to 1500+ is a completely different challenge — it's about eliminating careless errors, mastering the hardest question types, and optimizing performance under pressure.

At the 1350 level, you're already getting most questions right. The remaining wrong answers come from:
These are much harder to fix than "I don't understand this concept."
Careless errors are the primary score killer for students in the 1350-1450 range. Tactics to eliminate them:
The top 5-7 questions in each module are specifically designed to challenge students above 1400. Focus areas:
On a truly hard question, eliminate 2 clearly wrong answers first. Then choose between the remaining 2 based on precision — SAT trap answers are almost right but wrong for a specific reason.
Students at 1400+ should aim to finish each module with 3-5 minutes remaining for review. If you're consistently running out of time, speed up your "easy" questions to create buffer for hard ones.
Practice tool: time each question as you solve — know exactly how long you typically spend on each type.
In the 4-6 weeks before your real test, switch from Khan Academy drills to full official tests only. The real test has subtle stylistic differences from even high-quality prep materials — only official College Board tests perfectly simulate what you'll face.
