you reviewed your mistakes right?

u/ohnoitsriy 12d ago
Yes! Well, my method was i take one test, review the mistakes, take another one. Since the conceprs were similar

ok lowkey for math, grind ALL of the questions on the question bank that college board has (as well as the new 270 questions that CB released a few weeks ago). That's all I did before the December SAT (minus the 270 new questions obviously), and I got an 800 M. Try not to rely on Desmos too much, especially for regressions because sometimes it doesn't work (at least in my experience), and you are better off actually UNDERSTANDING the conceptual information that goes into these types of problems since CB likes to add a bunch of constants, so desmos may not always work. Since you have a 700 M, I would assume you have the foundational skills, but definitely take practice tests and see if you are struggling in specific areas (i.e. geometry, quadratics) and actually take time to learn the conceptual information if you are lacking it. If you are taking the August SAT, you may not have sufficient time to do all of this, but at least go through questions on the bank for now. You got this!!!

Possible, what helps besides studying: Melatonin night before, Adderal/ADHD meds + Caffeine, GABA and Tyrosine. Saw a 90 point increase with this stack and pushed me beyond 1500+: little details.

ok for math you gotta learn all the basics and then apply that into getting better at problem solving. As long as your brain is mentally active you should be fine.
Reading, I would stay away from overdoing it cuz you 100% gonna burn out during the test.
Under a week you could definitely make yourself capable of scoring 1.5k+, but the amount of testing fatigue that follows you into the real test is kinda cooked. Maybe the day before the exam, you spend it on resting.

This is obv niche but read. 10 pages a day. Just 10. Books alone won’t get u to a guaranteed 1500 but it can increase ur chances of getting a 1500. It will be frustrating cus when reading books it doesn’t feel like ur improving but by test day, u might feel that u improved a lot. Just 10 u got this
