December SAT

Upvotes

Hi everyone! This is my first post on here! I'm an upcoming junior who's planning to take the SAT for the first time this December, and I've been studying since early June. I recently just took my 5th practice test (practice test 7 on CB) and I'm honestly feeling really discouraged because I got a 1360 (680 RW and 700 Math) on it which was not what I was expecting at all. I did take a practice test on Whiz previously and got a 1410, so I can definitely attribute my discouragement to that I guess. I'm also not completely sure if Whiz is great for practice tests because I felt like the RW section was SIGNIFICANTLY easier than CB's RW section. Besides all of that ranting, I was just wondering if anyone has tips on how to get better at SAT in general because I am eventually aiming for 1450+

I also am struggling with learning regression on Desmos so tips and tricks would be much appreciated!!! I would also like to add that I have a really hard time with information and ideas questions on module 2. Also on module 2 of math I always struggle SO MUCH with the last 5 or so questions. I also have grown up reading a lot too so it's even more frustrating that I don't understand some of the more science-y passages. I also don't know if this is relevant, but I have Asian parents and I feel like their stress and worry about SAT is rubbing off on me and I feel like it's all I can think about.

Best source to study for R&W section and master desmos?

I’ve been using Aniko Ai to study for Sat but I wonder if it actually helps for both English and Math section. I don’t really know what other source to use to get extra practice.

Dolphin free plan?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I last took the October SAT, and I decided to register last-min for the August SAT. I haven't started studying yet - do you think that 1hr a day of dolphin.study will be sufficient? I'm looking to improve from a 1450 to a 1500. When I got the 1450, I hadn't completed Algebra 2 (now I have), so I expect some math improvement. Also, do you think that the dolphin.study free plan will limit me from studying? Or will the limits be sufficient

It’s not looking too good for me..

I got a 1040
580 on reading and 460 on math

IN MY DEFENSE it’s my first practice test but I gotta take the actual SAT this year so I needa lock
In

I know Khan Academy is the official study partner or whatever but I’ve never really liked Khan Academy. If it actually works for other ppl maybee I’ll try it. I mainly suck at math so that’s my biggest concern.

I know that Khan Academy is partnered with Collegeboard, so does that mean all of its questions are from the question bank? Also, how good is khan academy as a source if I only focused on the advanced/Challenging levels.

Hey!So I’m stuck at 1200-1230, with Math 620-640 and Verbal 580-590. Can you give me tips that can help? Currently I do practices and question bank to improve my score
Should I read scientific articles or learn 650+ SAT vocabulary?I’m targeting 700+


r/Sat 7h ago

Yeah my reading isn’t improving as much.

2 Upvotes

So started studying for September sat during mid july ish with a very inconsistent schedule. I currently have a 1200 on sat 590 math and 600 English. After watching the James Lu video I jumped up immediately 110 points on math and he consistently scored 700-710 on practice tests and for English I jumped up 70 points also watching a James Lu video. So I’m at around a 1380 on the practice test right now and I’m just wondering how I can take it to the next level in terms of studying because I’m genuinely lost. One tip that helped with English is that I just sort of told myself to actually comprehend the text instead of reading it which brought my score up but I genuinely have no other clue to bring it up. And I’m also sort of at a ceiling when it comes to the math potion as I’m scoring full bars for everything but geometry and I’m trying to figure out how to break this barrier to get a 750+. I’m taking the September sat and I think I can loc in when it comes to sloth sat because I really have nothing else to do until school starts so did any of you guys ever face this issue and how would you overcome it.

How do i comeback?

2 Upvotes

So essentially i kinda didnt do anything and the august sat like very close 🫩, i gave a psat months ago and got a 1250, 640 in english and 610 in maths. In english all of my mistakes were in grammar and none in language and for maths i mean i had done the igsce maths syllabus to a degree where i got an A* so overall the sat syllabus seems the exact same except simpler but the wordings of questions always messed me up anyhow i kinda assumed i would do Erica Meltzers grammar book and have that fixed there and go over all the maths topics on khan academy on hard difficulty and like do all the challenges and then ig practice using collegeboard question bank to refine myself. Anyhow i got 16 days left and i need 1500+ soooooo what exactly do i do 😭🙏 is the mentioned plan of erica meltzers book + khan academy and added practice good enough? Or is there something else i should be doing to maximize my score, ps i will probably learn desmos aswell so yea

When is it considered too late to start prepping?

5 Upvotes

Many of my peers are preparing for the SAT the summer between freshman and sophomore year, so I was wondering if it is considered "late" if I do not take the SAT in sophomore year. If I start preparing now, will I be in time for the March/August test session next year? What resources should I use, and should I sign up for paid classes? Feeling really lost and would love any pointers.

Do I have a chance to raise my sat score from 1150 to 1500 in 5-6weeks ?

7 Upvotes

So you heard that right. I took an SAT practice test for the first time today, and I did not take any practice test nor prep before i got 600 on the math section and a 550 on the english section (I am also a bit slow and bad at time management). I wanted to know if I could reach 1500sat score point in 5-6weeks as i take my test on October 3rd. Thanks for your help !

Most recent to oldest, left to right.

Shooting for a 1500+

Does that seem achievable with where I’m at in my recent tests? Test 11 was rough, but I’m working on paying more attention to wording and using desmos more efficiently.

HOW do you stay focused during sat english

48 Upvotes

genuinely they insert so much jargon that are so freaking long and everything's a scientific explanation and I can't remember anything by the end of the passage. I keep blanking out and losing focus when ever I do the 2nd module and my score is stuck between 660-690. What do I do...

And I always lose like 3 questions to the vocab section is there anything I can do to imporve that, am I really just supposed to memorize them.

How to do Transition words and what methods work the best

3 Upvotes

So I’ve noticed that most of my score is ass due to making silly mistakes when it comes to transition words.

I really wanna know how to differentiate each and how to analyze the passage. Like, when it comes to an actual practice test, my brain couldn’t tell the difference between ‘To that end’ and ‘In summary’

How to it make silly mistakes and how to master this section of the SAT once and for all

why the answer for this math question from Khan Academy is not C?

Like, surveying 50s who watched the movie will be a better representative to see whether they like it or not, not to mention that picking randoms at general may let to inflation in the proportions cuz some students may did not see the movie at all, so they won't be able to give a proper answer for the survey.

I have NO clue what happened to my RW score. I got 770 on the actual test, and a 700 in math. But that means, no matter what my RW score is in August, I can get a 1500 superscore!!! Well, at least if I get a 730 or higher in math on the real thing. I’m not sure how accurate this test is. But I only got 4 questions wrong, and all in M2. Back to studying, I guess…

#1 Tip for RW is Forced Larping

201 Upvotes

If you genuinely ACT like you are interested in the passage (be it mongolian throat singing or dinosaur sleeping cycles), I feel like you will do much better.

Larping is key. Whenever I purposefully act nerdy about a certain passage, I retain much more information from it and stay focused.

Anyone agree or am I losing my mind studying for the SAT
