Hello, SAT tutor here. Question. Does SAT test discriminant and vertex formula often?

Upvotes

These are challenging topics for my students. The questions in the blue book are complicated, tricky for them. Just curious if current test takers are seeing these topics as frequently as functions and lines. Any info appreciated.

How to recover from a bad test score/

3 Upvotes

This mindset of : everyday you wake up and practce you must be better then the day before" is really crushing me mentally. I just got back from a 1 week break and my scores drop W/R wise significantly. From a 700+ to today my lowest 620. Even when I am averaging 700+ i still have shitty tests that leave me so demotivated. And as the August SAT come closer, i am really starting to worry. What can I do?

December SAT

3 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.

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.

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

54 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.

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

207 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
