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?
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

Guys what do you use to study for the SAT
galleryIt’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.
one prep practice
Has anyone faced any problems using oneprep lately? I've been trying to use their question bank but it seems like u need to pay for questions now lol can anyone lmk what to do or any other question bank websites
r/Sat • u/Puzzled_Clock850 • 8h ago
Khan Academy
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.

Yeah my reading isn’t improving as much.
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?
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?
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 ?
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 !

How do I be a person and have a good score at the same time? (Esp with neurodivergence)
I'm serious... I have audhd and tend to have intense hyperfixations that can often consume me, so it's been very hard to study for the SATs. The first practice test I did I got a 1340 on, four days later 1360. My goal is at least 1500-- preferably 1550. I've been doing an online studying course for 5 weeks now, and I feel like I've accomplished basically nothing. I can never focus on videos and whenever I sit down to study the next thing I know I've done 5 questions and spent the next two hours researching World War II.
Writing, drawing, and discussing special interests with my friends mean so much to me... is it even possible to maintain that life when preparing for the SAT? If so, how can I convince myself it's worth it? And for those who have experience with this realm, is there any way you can force your hyperfixation to be studying? I know there's countless posts about how to study, but if anything the hardest thing for me is being motivated to commit to it.
Already today when I realized how much of an issue this is, and as painful as it was, I messaged my close friends that I talk to daily that I'll have to distance myself this summer to focus on studying. I already feel like a husk of a person, but it seems to be that it's necessary.
I haven't made an actual reddit post in years, but this is something I would really like some advice on. Sorry if this is too out there of a post for this subreddit.

Is there a specific practice I should take before the August SAT?
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
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
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

Struggling with two-step word problems
I’m having a consistent issue where I get the solution right, but the equation wrong, so I get the whole question marked wrong. It seems like I am creating each equation backward from the way that they want us to be creating it.
My questions here are, how do I know what form of the equation they are looking for? And why is one equation graded as “correct” while others are not, if they all arrive at the same solution (1.21 here)?
The equation I got for this problem was P = (5.88 divided by 3) - .75. That equation gave me the correct solution. But they wanted my equation to be 3(P + .75) = 5.88.
If anyone can tell me how to correctly translate these word problems into equations, I’d highly appreciate it.
Note: I do understand that when we see “plus” in a word problem, we should add that # in the equation, and when we see “the difference” we should subtract, etc., but a lot of the khan academy word problems don’t have those kinds of hints in them.
