You can make notes on question booklets. The examiners won’t look at these notes. Therefore, feel free to make notes, underline parts of the text or draw symbols on the question booklet to help yourself understand the passage better.

Let's use Penn State University as an example. The average SAT score for admitted applicants to Penn State is 1270. Its 25th percentile score is 1180, and its 75th percentile score is 1370. Furthermore, its acceptance rate is 51%. In other words, a little more than half of all applicants are admitted.
This is especially true for the current version of the SAT , which no longer has Sentence Completion questions. (On the old, pre-2016 SAT, these were the questions that required you to fill in blanks with vocab words.)
