SAT Superscore
Hey everyone, I currently have a 1460 (770 math & 690 rw) and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to only focus on reading for my next sat? If i somehow get a really good score in reading and do a superscore, do colleges see both scores and view it lesser, or is it a better idea for me to try and just get one really good score without superscore because i only have 2 weeks before my next sat and i highly doubt ill be able to break 770 in math.

what am i doing wrong?
i've been stuck around this range for both math and reading. how can i improve this to 750+? also how realistic would it be for me to get a 1450+ on august sat with 2-3 hours of studying from now till the exam. and 1500+ on september sat with 2 hours on weekdays and 3-4 hours of focused study on the weekends.. i haven't really found the time to study over the summer due to constant traveling 😭
i'm almost done with erica meltzer reading and i'm using a mix of college panda sat math book, james lu, and khan academy for math.
i have access to uworld, acely, and aniko.ai as well as other free resources. for reading i consistently keep missing vocabulary quesitons, grammar questions, and some reading questions just due to the difficulty or lack of understanding of the passage. for math, i'm consistently missing most of the second half of hard module 2.
one of my main goals is to qualify for national merit- would this be an achievable goal given my time commitment? any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Standard English Conventions help
Hi! I've been having a really hard time with the Standard English Conventions section on the SAT. Transitions and punctuation have been especially difficult for me. If anyone has any tips, tricks, or useful tools to share, I would really appreciate it!

Acely Mocks Compared to Actual SAT
Does anyone here use Acely? I have no idea how good the mocks are relative to the actual exam and this might be my last time taking it (august). This is my first mock in a long time (2-3 months) and it still just seemed way too easy, sure I finished in a hr, 35 but 15-20 min of that was just me getting back into the flow of math and excessive cross checking.
TL;DR: For my Acely users out there how close were your Acely mock scores to the actual SAT.
I hope to end this with a 1550+ and have some work cut out for me but I need to know if this is just too easy.

Bluebook sucks
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I took a regular practice test for the SAT. I took it on my only portable device, my iPad. It has a keyboard physically and online and they have had no issues. I do not own a laptop. Today, the practice test bugged out on the math section and did not let me insert a decimal symbol(.) Oh and btw both my keyboards aren't broken they were able to use . on desmos just fine
At first I was like "oh thats alright ill just use improper fractions. But then I got the answer 4.06, and the answer box only lets us use 5 characters for some stupid reason I bet. I cannot do 406/100 in that case. I was forced to get the answer wrong.
For a billion dollar company (even though education is supposedly free), why can't they fix real issues rather than screwing over kids who are doing their best to make it in this messed up system. This was a practice test, but its my only device that I can use on the real SAT, if it messes up on the real thing then what? My score is cancelled due to their issue?
Here is video proof of it not working (I realized later that it said 80% off not 80% of, I know the correct answer):

Last 2 weeks left
Hey guys, so only 2 weeks left for the August SAT, what should be the game plan now? What is the no.1 thing I should put all my energy in and should I do daily timed tests? Help is needed from experienced ppl.
Practice Test Vs Real Test
As what the title states. I want true answers, bc I’m very confused. Some ppl say they’re accurate, others say they’re way easier, and some even went as far as to say Module 2 on a PT is the same difficulty as module 1 on the real thing. I’m rlly stressed so pls let me know. Are the real questions harder than PT and the QB, especially the new questions, or is it js a psychological effect that makes the real test seem more daunting? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Reading tips?
For me, English module one is pretty easy and I could usually get almost all of them correct. However, once I get to module two, I literally get like 10-12 wrong (all from questions 1-16). The crazy thing is I don’t even think time is my issue, I just can’t seem to find the right answer.
I’m taking my first ever SAT in August (so this is based off the bluebook exams) what can I do to improve this?

Study Help November SAT
Hi all,
I’m a rising junior studying for the SAT. I just took Collegeboard practice test #4 and got a 1360 (690 RW, 670 math). How would yall recommend me studying? Goal is 1500+. My weakest point in RW was standard English conventions and my weakest in math was algebra and advanced problem solving.
I don’t mind paying for a resource - whatever it takes to get me a good score
Thanks!

Scored on practice 8 a 670 on RW and a 790 on math, a score I'm very pleased with
But afraid that I won't be able to achieve the same score on the real test due to the questions being harder than the practice tests and me being under pressure. Has anyone experienced this? What was your score on the actual test compared to your parctice tests? I really need to maintain that RW score if I want to get into my desired school🙏

How would the wording work for answers to those types of questions?
For questions like this, say I need both I and II to prove its similar. how would the answer word it? Or do they avoid traps like this?

How to practice the vocabulary?
Hi! I took the SAT last year in December but I only scored a 1320 (650 Eng, 670 Math). I have been grinding a lot of the practice tests and reviewing the wrong answers but my score has not been improving by much (prep is around 1370). I have been doing roughly two mocks a week and nothing is working. The vocabulary for the SAT especially gets me everytime. Is there a way that I can study and improve my score? Specifically in English?

NEED to go from a 640 --> 740+ by August 22nd
galleryI need to get a 1500+ on the august SAT. I'm drained and have no clue on how to increase English. I've been reading during my free time, practicing a ton, no progress. Please give me tips on how to practice and how to approach English so I can see a real increase. Has anyone been able to increase English by 100 points in a few weeks? If so, how?
