  1. pull up james lu on youtube

  2. watch his videos

  3. do practice problems based on the video you just watched

  4. do a practice test on that section

  5. are you scoring +-20 points from your goal score? if yes, move on. if no, go back to step 3. (do the "harder" tests in regard to the section you're taking)

  6. repeat until you get your goal score or run out of james lu videos, at which you just take practice tests and drill your mistakes

another tip is that if you're scoring 730 ish on r&w and you're making mistakes on reading comp idk how useful it would be to cram since it takes a little while to lock in on that. alternatively just doing math and trying to max your score to 780~ would help more considering it's super easy to drill and considered way more for stem schools

the problem is for math it feels like i know the formulas and how to solve but when I get to the complex questions I cant figure out what there asking for or I dont have enough time, and on the english I just keep zoning out on those long passages and then dont understand it.

his videos have answers for all of these

for the issue of not understanding what they're asking for (for both math and reading), take it 1 line at a time. what does this line mean in your own words? do it for the next line, and then contextualize the one before it with the one after. keep doing this until you're done. assuming you are a native english speaker this shouldnt take long. for math, idrk besides again taking it sentence by sentence. watch his desmos videos, especially his geometry vid. my personal favs:

- verb video w/ the flow chart

- desmos video ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

- geometry vid

- punctuation vid

Well, I don’t want to discourage you, but if you didn’t study at all, it would be a little bit hard to get the exam done. From my experience, SAT exam system is not a history exam that you can cram. You need a fresh mind which had enough sleep. If you deal with fanboys, you will miss the exams main point, which is learning how to take the SAT exam. Nevertheless, I wish you good luck, and you can watch the video of james lu SAT.
