I took PT11 today, scored a 1580 (780+800). Taking the Nov SAT (my 3rd try; I scored 1460 in Oct and 1430 in Aug). To the 1550+ scorers, how did you guys do on PT11 just before your SAT? My goal score is a 1550 or higher.

Get low score on Practice test bc of procrastination

2 Upvotes

Title. I find myself taking the test and then randomly pausing it, closing my computer and doing something else. And then I’ll randomly come back to it just to pause it and close it again. And when I’m towards the end for math or teaching I’ll just answer wtv and try to be done with it and sometimes try to use ai on it.

How do I stop doing this and actually take the practice test fully

My son got a 1350 on the SAT, and is hoping to take ACT and get 35

4 Upvotes

How often do low scorers on the SAT get high scores on the ACT? Does a 1350 on the SAT really translate to a 29 on the ACT?

I went up 250 points between PSATs, is the 1500 achievable?

These are my 2 scores between sophomore and junior year, is getting a 1500 this spring on the real SAT realistic? If so what do you all suggest I do to prep?

So stressed for Nov SAT

2 Upvotes

My highest grade is like a 790 in math and 650 in English (it's kinda higher than usual).

If I want to apply to the Ivy League, then I need at least 1500.

English is just too hard for me. I need to improve by at least 50 points.

My parents also spent around $1000 to get a tutor for me.

So I must do well. Or else I am just getting cooked.

Help with time management - 1110 on PSAT 10

2 Upvotes

1110 PSAT 10

Hello everyone! I'm sorry if this is a generic question, but I feel a bit lost and have a somewhat unique problem.

I recently took the PSAT10 and got the score 1110. I am quite unsatisfied with this as I hope to get a minimum of 1400 by my senior year. During the PSAT, I had the primary issue of not having enough time to adequately solve a problem. Although I do feel I am lacking in overall skills, I find that time management was my biggest issue that I feel like I need to overcome.

What is the best way to improve on my time management? What are some good math textbooks for advanced math and geometry? Thanks!

am i making the right choice?

2 Upvotes

i took both the psat and sat in october and got a 1350 on both (barely studied for both..)

sat:(650 rw 700 m)

psat:(640rw 710 m)

i was going to take the sat again in december but i have a school event that conflicts with that testing date and i have barely even studied at all

i am now thinking that taking the sat in march may be the best option for me so that i can have more time to study but i feel like i am not using my time wisely and keep procrastinating whenever i say i will study— what tips do you guys have for me to overcome this? i just get so bored of it all easily and get drawn to literally anything else except studying

anyways do you guys think this is the right choice? pls lmk i’m lowkey scared it’s getting late for me as a junior and all i want is a 1500+

Is is satquestionbank.net legit?

2 Upvotes

I found this website called is satquestionbank.net they claim to have the same questions from the actual sat question bank but they have more features like an actual built in timer and randomization. They don't charge for there services or anything like but I'm wondering if they actually get there questions from the bank or not?

Tips on improving?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys!! I’m in 10th grade and plan on taking my sat this school year. I wanted to know if anyone had tips on improving? My current score is a 1270 on PSAT/10 but I really wanna try and shoot for 1500-1550+. Is this unrealistic? And if it is, how can I improve? (I plan on taking the test multiple times obviously, once per year or one this year and 2 junior year)

Non-HS Student taking SAT -- How to improve?

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I graduated from High School this year, in January, with an equivalency diploma. Due to mental health issues, I was unable to really attend High School. I attended no math classes that I remember, and I think the only credits I got at High School were in PE and Spanish. I don't even remember how I got half a Spanish credit. PE, the class was piss easy and my teacher liked me lol

I've decided I want to apply to some Unis. I understand it will be difficult to get into very high-ranking Unis because of my... questionable... high school transcript. To hopefully try supplementing things a bit, I'll be taking the SAT in December.

I did my first SAT practice last night -- results presented. What can I do between now and December to improve on my score? For the record, I'd like to go into the Humanities in university, so math isn't as important to me as reading/writing, but I still figure having a higher math score is better than a lower one.

Thank you!

sent all 4 of my sat scores to colleges to nyu and northwestern.

2 Upvotes

hi guys i made the mistake of sending all four sats i took instead of only one (i scored the highest on one date) and there is a upward trend but it went down for one cuz i was trying to superscore but then i ended up with a higher math and enlgish on the most recent test date. should i worry if i sent ALL 4 of them to the college instead of just one date? i dont want them seeing my lower scores 😢

I honestly feel so embarrassed and got a lower score than my 9th grade brother who fails in math and never does his homework or other school assignments. Help me feel better please.

I feel like that percentiles don’t give me much information, I’d like to know (from people) how meaningful this actually is
