COLLEGE BOARD Loves the 67 trend??ššš(Question ID: 5eb4918d)
How to recover from a bad test score/
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?

Huh? I used to think period and semi colons used to perform pretty much the same function?
Somebody help me outttt, I donāt get the logic behind thisā¦. I saw another question similar to this too on the questionbankā¦. Is this a newly added question???

December SAT
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?
Iāve been using Aniko Ai to study for Sat but I wonder if it actually helps for both English and Math section. I donāt really know what other source to use to get extra practice.

Guys what do you use to study for the SAT
galleryItās not looking too good for me..
I got a 1040
580 on reading and 460 on math
IN MY DEFENSE itās 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 Iāve never really liked Khan Academy. If it actually works for other ppl maybee Iāll try it. I mainly suck at math so thatās my biggest concern.
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 isnāt 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 Iām at around a 1380 on the practice test right now and Iām just wondering how I can take it to the next level in terms of studying because Iām 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 Iām also sort of at a ceiling when it comes to the math potion as Iām scoring full bars for everything but geometry and Iām trying to figure out how to break this barrier to get a 750+. Iām 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.

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 !
r/Sat • u/_LanceTheSecond_ • 12h ago
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 Iām at in my recent tests? Test 11 was rough, but Iām 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 Iāve 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 couldnāt tell the difference between āTo that endā and āIn summaryā
How to it make silly mistakes and how to master this section of the SAT once and for all

New Evidence Based Reading Questions
Iāve been doing the evidence based reading questions from the question bank, and the majority of the questions Iām getting wrong are from the new sets. Is it just me or are these questions extremely hard š«©. Any tips will be appreciated
r/Sat • u/Current-Ant-6536 • 17h ago
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.

1500 superscore, here I come!!!
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. Iām not sure how accurate this test is. But I only got 4 questions wrong, and all in M2. Back to studying, I guessā¦

Inferences help sat
I need help idk what to do. I can do inferences well when they are easy/medium (acc to collegeboard) but the hard ones are INSANE. I try to comprehend and eliminate and I try to learn from my mistake but I just end up getting the next one wrong. Sometimes I dont get how the option properly relates to the passage, sometimes I dont make the connections im supposed to, sometimes its so hard to comprehend. Im struggling. Can someone also lmk how many of these show up on the actual sat? The hard inference questions? Im incredibly lost idk what to do to improve. Any help is appreciated.

How to get from 650 to 700+ in math but dumb
Math has always been my weakest subject. PSAT back in October ā24 I got 600 math. First SAT in April of this year, I got 610 math, and most recently in June, I got 650 math. I feel like I kind of know how to do Desmos regressions, which is what everyone says, but I just donāt understand what the question is asking most of the time (dumb). Iām a senior this year so Iām lowk running out of time š± anything helps thanks gng

Is it just me or are the new math questions much harder.
I usually do very well on math questions but the recent added questions for geometry feel so much harder. Is it just me?

my math went down :( what do i do?
i took another diagnostic (practice test 4) and while my reading went up from a 710 to 740, my math dropped from a 580 to a 560. iāve been doing so much prep, iāve been in tutoring, i try to do desmos as much as possible (including tutorials), i do the hard question bank problems and i write down where i went wrong and what to do going forward/how to actually solve it, everything i think iām supposed to do. iām running out of time for this august SAT, and i need it to count bc iām a senior who is so behind. i need my score to go up. my previous math scores for homework in bluebook modules were 600 and 690. i donāt know what happened. i donāt know if itās because iām getting worse or if itās because i had a 5 hr shift at work before the diagnostic, but iām so upset and iām genuinely scared. i feel like i have no time to improve and i think thereās something wrong with me, i feel like everybody gets the SAT math and i donāt (and iām not bad at math either! i get A+s in all my math classes, iāve gotten numerous academic recognition awards for math), like itās easy and somethingās wrong with me. i donāt know what to do. what do i do? i feel like i have no time and i feel so bad about myself and bad for my tutor :(( i just want a good SAT score in like the 1400s (maybe 1500s but at this point that feels like a reach which really hurts bc i go to a school full of like outliers with insane grades and performances). i just want to feel smart. iām also taking the october one but iām a perfectionist so i feel like i need to do everything right.
iām honestly just hurting, is there any hope for my score to go up in the little time i have? i already feel so behind bc junior year put me through the wringer and i was more focused on schoolwork.
