+Indian students have a specific advantage and a specific challenge on the SAT.
-]]
+The advantage: math. If you've been through CBSE or ICSE, your math foundation is stronger than most American students. A lot of SAT math will feel familiar.
+The challenge: reading and writing. Not because your English is bad. Most Indian students are fluent. But the SAT tests a specific kind of American academic English. Rhetorical synthesis, word-in-context questions, and grammar rules that differ from British/Indian English.
+Here's what I'd suggest:
+. Take a diagnostic test first. Khan Academy has free ones. [[https://mycollegebook.org|MyCollegeBook]]  has one too. See where you actually stand before making a study plan.
+. Don't waste time on math fundamentals. You probably know the math. Focus on SAT-specific strategy: timing, the adaptive format (module 1 vs. module 2), and the specific question types that trip up Indian students.
+. Spend more time on reading and writing than you think you need. This is where most Indian students lose points.
+. If you're considering coaching, look for someone who understands Indian students specifically. SATPrepIn is one option. They're based in Gurgaon, the founder scored 1550 on the Digital SAT, and they do one-on-one coaching. The approach is diagnostic-driven, which means they focus on your specific weak areas rather than going through the entire syllabus.
+. Start early. Grade 9 or 10 is ideal for building foundations. Grade 11 works but you'll have more pressure.
